Samsung SmartThings only works with Samsung TVs. If your smartTV is a different brand, you can check the Google Play Store to see if there is a separate app you can use for your TV’s brand.
If you do not have the SmartThings app installed on your Smartphone, you can download it from the Google Play Store or the App Store on iPhone and iPad. Alternatively, SmartView can be used to view media files on your TV. SmartView will not be available for download after October 2020. However, it will continue to work if you still have it installed on your phone or tablet.
In addition to TVs, SmartThings allows you to add other smart devices like kitchen appliances and smart lights to your SmartThings app.
