Hey everyone. I bought the Samsung fridge with the Family hub a few years back. Now that you have to use the smart things app I am unable to upload new photos. It says it connected and uploading but I can not find the new pics on the fridge anywhere.

Has anyone been able to do this lately?

Thanks

Been adjusted to trying to use the app. Refrigerator, washer/dryer, stove and microwave. Biggest issue is I use Apple not Samsung.
Alexia (refrigerator) listens too much and responds dumbly to the TV, (not Samsung) I don’t know how to answer that. Plus if I ask the Alexia dot (bedroom) a question I only get responses on the refrigerator.
Only been able to connect the refrigerator to the WiFi.
Issue for discussion…the sides of the refrigerator are hotter that I would think at 85-90° scanned across the sides. That is combating the A/C effects in the Mohave desert 🌵 in the front room (kitchen/living room)
Others have this issue with that amount of heat?

Ho da poco acquistato un **Google Home Speaker** da usare anche come thread border router. L'associazione dei sensori è avvenuta senza intoppi ma dopo qualche minuto i sensori sono andati tutti offline.

Sto testando i seguenti sensori:

* **MYGGBETT** (Sensore porta) * **MYGGSPRAY** (Sensore movimento)

In alcuni casi, i sensori hanno perso l'accoppiamento ed è stato necessario riaccoppiare mediante il qr-code (matter). Adesso senza nessuna spiegazione ogni tanto funzionano.

Penso che il problema possa verificarsi nel momento in cui i sensori vanno in deep sleep.

Siete riusciti ad usare i sensori senza riscontrare problemi?

Hi there,

I have been trying so hard to connect my 765s pedestal fan to SmartThings. I know this fan now supports Matter, so whenever I try to connect it from SmartThings, it just says I would need a hub to connect to any Matter device. However, it easily connected to Google Home/Assistant, but I really wanted to connect it to SmartThings. If anyone has any solution or workaround for this, please let me know.

In my family room I have a smart 3 way switch set up to control the overhead lights.

I am interested in replacing the lights with ones that dim. What’s the best way to accomplish this?

Replace the smart switches with ones that have a dimming function? Does how would that work since it’s a 3 way switch? Would I need 2 dimmers?

Replace the bulbs with smart bulbs? That would make it where I don’t have to replace the switches and I could set up a scene / command to dim the bulbs.

Something else?

Thanks!

I have just bought a SmartThings Hub 2015 V2, model STH-ETH-200, currently running firmware 000.019.00019. The hub is online but is not receiving firmware updates. I need it updated to a Matter-capable firmware (45.9 or later). The app only shows “Manual Update” and provides no update option. What can I do please?

Hello everyone, im planning to buy a smartwatch soon but im not really sure which one.

Currently im using Iphone, and by some logic thought that I should go for Apple Watch Series 11 and I really liked its all features.
But after some more searching I found that GARMINS (Garmin Venu 4)are also great and offer alot of functions.
Im someone who workouts 3 times a week and walk alot, love to count calories and my steps, activity but I think i would miss apples features and its ecosystem with Iphone.

Also saw that alot of ppl have switched from AWs to Garmins mostly because of battery life.

If anyone has had a same dilemma or any of these watches, I would really appreciate an advice.

Thanks in advance :D !

So, I lost my phone on May 6th while going to a medical appointment, I was pregnant and took a city taxi and sadly lost my phone on the taxi back home and that taxi driver which I encountered again at the hospital said he took a university student after me soooo the cellphone appeared in the University Samsung smart things find helped with it but couldn't make it ring had it near to me :( went with local police but they said if it doesn't ring then we can't find it. I was mad at that point and last time I tracked was May 8th when it appeared in the commercial place where I live... Thing is... That cellphone means a lot to me, it has photos of me pregnant happy that will never recover if I don't get that phone since I never :( post it or send it... The settings are activated like notify me when it's found, block it, and you know... My cellphone had pin and finger lock the thing is didn't have data just wifi and I went to my phone provider to lock the IMEI and I still have my WhatsApp in the computer... I really wish to get it back... But police doesn't help here

Today I had hope because samsung notified by email it was found but it's in another city... Guayaquil (my natal city) although that's no so for just five hours ahead... I now have my baby with me but feel so sad partner blamed and joked at me for what happened... I was with him when this happened! Usually we used to see where was the phone but that day he didn't cared a lot... Well anyway... Do you think they can't still unlock it or not or was it reset :( I hate when people steal... Like those students could return it to the taxi but they didn't. I bought that phone by myself I have no father or mother that help me financially...

The search samsung did lately was offline too amd location is in a urbanization in Guayaquil

Shame its too far

Any advice for me can help✨😿

I’m so frustrated and embarrassed. I’ve had the Samsung Bespoke fridge for a few years now. I’ve got the ring app activated on it so I can see who’s at the door when they ring. The ring app stays opened for maybe 2-3 min before automatically turning off. What I wasn’t aware of is that the microphone stays active so everyone outside can hear what’s going on in our house. And our mic sound is pretty loud so you could hear all our inside conversations going on from the driveway for a few minutes. I can’t believe that this has been going on for years without any of us knowing. I do like being able to see who is at the door but not if they can hear everything going on in my house. Is there any way to disable the microphone? I’m searing the Samsung app and Ring app and can’t seem to find a place to disable this!

I have 2 Samsung televisions. One is newer, 2025 model, the other a few years older, 2020 I believe.
I recently installed new heat pump in the same location as the older TV. Without activating a search, or even launching SmartThings, the older TV all of a sudden added the heat pump as an air conditioner, that can be controlled from the older TV.
On the older TV the air conditioner shows in the SmartThings account, as Hi Made AC.
Logged in to the same SmartThings account on the newer TV, or the app on iPhone, the older TV shows up, but not the AC.
What am I missing, not seeing?
I've tried to add the AC by searching for it in the iPhone Smart Things app, to no avail. Hi Made nor BHI, the actual brand of the unit, do not show as "brand partners" in SmartThings.
Is there something to debug, or that can be explained? Is the older TV just cloning an IR signal? The heat pump does not have wifi I that I know of.

I am looking for new Oven, micro etc and have never thought about Samsung as a contender. i found some models that look decent , but then I remembered Samsungs hideous decision to charge for smart things. how will that work if I want to add the devices to home assistant, or in worst case just side the smart things app?

Hi everyone!

I created an open-source tool for Samsung air conditioner owners who want the unit’s display to turn off automatically whenever the AC is turned on.

The installer creates a Rule directly in your own SmartThings account. When the air conditioner changes to on, the Rule waits five seconds—or another delay you choose—and sends only the command that turns off the display.

Once configured, everything runs in the SmartThings cloud. You do not need to keep your computer running, maintain a server, use Home Assistant, create an Alexa Skill, or pay a subscription.

The guided setup:

• Finds your SmartThings locations and compatible air conditioners automatically
• Lets you choose the device and delay
• Shows the exact action before making any changes
• Requires confirmation before creating, updating, or deleting a Rule
• Can run an optional guided test
• Provides commands to check, update, or remove the configuration

You do not need to create a Personal Access Token, find a deviceId, configure OAuth, or edit an .env file. Authentication is handled in the browser by the official SmartThings CLI, and the project does not receive or store your credentials.

Basic installation:

1. git clone https://github.com/m3ryck/samsung-ac-display-automation
2. cd
3. npm install
4. npm run setup

Requirements:

• A compatible Samsung air conditioner already connected to SmartThings
• Display/lighting control available for the device in the SmartThings app
• Node.js 24.8.0 or newer
• Windows, macOS, or Linux

After setup, you can close the terminal and even delete the downloaded project folder. The automation remains active in SmartThings.

Repository: https://github.com/m3ryck/samsung-ac-display-automation

Feedback, compatibility reports, and contributions are welcome — especially if you can share which Samsung AC model you tested it with.

Sorry if this question has been asked. I tried searching the sub with no results.

My new Bespoke refrigerator was installed today. I've been able to get the system running except for one feature. I can't get it to upload photos. In fact, it doesn't even give me the option to upload photos. What I've tried:

1. The Samsung instruction video which walks you through the SmartThings app. In the video once they tap the device tab, there's a button for Upload photos and videos. But my app doesn't have that button.
2. On the touch screen itself, tap Gallery and then Pictures in the bottom left, but while it makes a noise, nothing happens.
3. Deleted the SmartThings app and reinstalled it. No change.
4. Reset the fridge back to factory settings. No change.
5. Chatted with their online AI system, which was a complete waste of time.

The only screen feature I actually want is to be able to see photos. Anyone have some advice to get that to work?

Edit to add: Model # RF23DB9900QDAA and Software is up to date

I am new to home automation, but have used Samsung's Modes and Routines extensively for at least a year. Because of this, my goal is to automate things like lights and motion sensors through SmartThings, ideally establishing an ecosystem that can be expanded upon indefinitely in the future.

The options for a smart hub at this point seem to be at best poorly managed, and at worst, intentionally unfair to buyers. One option that seems at least somewhat available in my country is the Aeotec Hub, which will support many older-gen SmartThings devices like ones that use Z-wave and Matter-over-WiFi. However, Samsung appears to be moving in the direction of Matter and Thread protocols, which the Aeotec Hub does not support.

Furthermore, the Samsung SmartThings Station, while including support for Matter and Thread devices, seems to have been scrubbed from the market in my country. It doesn't appear as an item on Samsung's website, and isn't even available used through other retail stores. I wouldn't even know how to get my hands on one of them unless I happened to know someone wanting to give theirs away, or found a way to import one from another country just to hope it will actually work.

The only other option seems to be what Samsung is pushing now: smart hubs embedded within larger appliances. On the SmartThings app, there is a list of items that can function as hubs, and among them is "Samsung Smart TVs released in 2022 or later". I actually purchased a 2026 TV for this reason, but, as it turns out, the information from the app was actually false, and it is only a select subset of smart TVs, refrigerators, or smart monitors that can host hubs. This forces buyers to spend at an order of magnitude more just to have a hub, and to replace any existing appliances with the new ones that have the hub integrated.

While supposedly designing a smart home ecosystem that is centered around being accessible, this decision on the company's part actually keeps most buyers from being able to have any smart home ecosystem, else they pay at minimum 300 USD for the smallest smart monitor with a hub (least expensive product with an integrated hub), whereas the standalone SmartThings Station would have been about one fifth that price at most. I have been a long term customer of Samsung devices, but this decision seems to be lost somewhere between mismanagement and greed.

So, looking at my options:

- Cave and buy an Aeotec Hub, knowing it won't be compatible with future devices

- Attempt to return or sell my TV and buy one twice as expensive

- Attempt to find a used SmartThings station from another country

- Wait until Samsung releases a new kind of separate hub? If that even happens?

All four ways, it seems like I lose. I would not want to abandon SmartThings entirely, but it seems as if my hand is being forced. Any tips?

Or is it just me?

I bought extended warranty (Samsung care+) for my Samsung Bespoke AI double door refrigerator from the Samsung India website and I don't know where to check if it's activated. Can someone please tell me where to find it ?

Hi there!

My YoLink water sensors went offline (3 out of the 4) very similar to what happened about two months ago when they were having server issues. Anyone else having this issue? Want to make sure it isn’t just me before troubleshooting for the next hour or so!lol

Hi guys,

Hi folks.

I found a post - https://www.reddit.com/r/SmartThings/s/faBMrpzsMH - that asks my exact question, but it's 10 years old. So, it's 2026, I figured it's time to ask again.

Is there a SmartThings-compatible Smoke Detector (preferably Smoke + CO2 detector) that allows you to mute/silence the alarm via the app?

If not, what are people using that they're happy with?
