How do I Connect My Dryer to SmartThings?
SmartThings is a function that conveniently controls and manages smart home appliances and Internet of Things (IoT) devices with a smartphone. From the outside, you can monitor and control the status of various devices, such as smart devices, home appliances, TVs, speakers, etc. registered on the server. It is a next-generation platform service that will unify Samsung's products as an open source platform that can connect not only our products but also other IoTs.
