How to add your TV to the Smartthings app

Once the SmartThings app has been installed on your Smart TV or Smart monitor, you can begin using it to view and control your connected devices. Please visit Set up the SmartThings app on your Galaxy phone to learn how to connect your phone to SmartThings.

Step 1. Using the TV remote, navigate to Menu, then select Connected Devices, and then select SmartThings.

Step 2. From SmartThings, select Using SmartThings Hub on the screen. Then, select Setup.

Step 3. Next, press the Home button on your remote, and then navigate to Connected Devices and open SmartThings. If needed, sign into your Samsung account.

If you've got a Bluetooth sound system, soundbar, or other wireless audio device you'd like to use for playing your Smart TV's or Smart monitor's audio, SmartThings can help with that too. You can easily connect your audio device to the TV or monitor and select it whenever you're in the mood to watch an action movie or blast loud music.

Step 1. Navigate to and select SmartThings, and then select + Add Device at the top of the screen. Make sure your audio device is turned on and is in pairing mode. If it doesn't show up, select Refresh, and then select the device from the list when it appears.

Step 2. When the display discovers the audio device, a popup message will appear that says "Would you like to play the TV's sound through this device?" To agree, select Connect.

Step 3. Once it connects, the TV's or monitor's sound will play through your audio device and you can control its volume using your phone!
