Samsung smart home overview

South KoreaChecked 11 November 2026

Samsung is a South Korean electronics group whose connected home appliances, including the Bespoke range and Family Hub refrigerators, join its SmartThings ecosystem. Refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, cooktops, robot vacuums, air conditioners, air purifiers and TVs are set up and controlled through the SmartThings app. The SmartThings platform has its own profile on this site, so this page covers the appliance side.

Where Samsung fits in a smart home

Samsung appliances connect over Wi-Fi to Samsung's cloud, and every device and phone must use the same Samsung account. Bluetooth is used for some features, such as Quick Control. Samsung says SmartThings supports up to 200 devices per location. Family Hub refrigerators can act as a control screen for other connected devices, and Samsung TVs can host a SmartThings hub. We found no confirmation that the appliances themselves speak Matter.

That suits households that already use SmartThings or Samsung TVs and phones, and that want voice control through Bixby, Alexa or Google Assistant. It is weaker for anyone who wants local control: Home Assistant's integration relies on the SmartThings cloud API, and Home Assistant says free API access is being phased out in favour of a paid plan.

Apps

SmartThings

The app for Samsung's connected appliances, TVs and speakers, and for third-party devices. It offers remote control, scenes and routines, shared access, notifications, SmartThings Energy and SmartThings Cooking. Voice assistants are linked from its menu. The iPhone listing is published by Samsung Electronics, needs iOS 17.0 or later, and names Google Assistant as its voice assistant. The Android link uses the package name we expect for Samsung's app, and we could not load the Google Play page to confirm it.
