Before you buy

Samsung SmartThings setup checklist

  1. Cloud-linked devices connect by signing in to the manufacturer account in the SmartThings app.
  2. Zigbee, Z-Wave and Thread devices need a SmartThings hub or a Samsung device with a built-in hub.
  3. Local execution depends on the device driver. Some automations still run in the cloud.
