Samsung is a South Korean electronics group whose connected home appliances, including the Bespoke range and Family Hub refrigerators, join its SmartThings ecosystem. Refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, cooktops, robot vacuums, air conditioners, air purifiers and TVs are set up and controlled through the SmartThings app. The SmartThings platform has its own profile on this site, so this page covers the appliance side.
Samsung appliances connect over Wi-Fi to Samsung's cloud, and every device and phone must use the same Samsung account. Bluetooth is used for some features, such as Quick Control. Samsung says SmartThings supports up to 200 devices per location. Family Hub refrigerators can act as a control screen for other connected devices, and Samsung TVs can host a SmartThings hub. We found no confirmation that the appliances themselves speak Matter.
That suits households that already use SmartThings or Samsung TVs and phones, and that want voice control through Bixby, Alexa or Google Assistant. It is weaker for anyone who wants local control: Home Assistant's integration relies on the SmartThings cloud API, and Home Assistant says free API access is being phased out in favour of a paid plan.

The app for Samsung's connected appliances, TVs and speakers, and for third-party devices. It offers remote control, scenes and routines, shared access, notifications, SmartThings Energy and SmartThings Cooking. Voice assistants are linked from its menu. The iPhone listing is published by Samsung Electronics, needs iOS 17.0 or later, and names Google Assistant as its voice assistant. The Android link uses the package name we expect for Samsung's app, and we could not load the Google Play page to confirm it.

Wi-Fi
Yes
Samsung names Wi-Fi as the main connection. Devices and the phone need Wi-Fi, all devices must use the same Samsung account, and the refrigerator's Wi-Fi must be on. Samsung's launch article says the appliances have built-in Wi-Fi and that several features need a Samsung account. It gives no band requirement on the pages we read.
Samsung says Bluetooth is used for Quick Control and for answering calls through AI Home, after a one-time setup in the app. Wi-Fi remains the main route.
Samsung's SmartThings page says TVs from Q60 upward released after 2022 include a built-in SmartThings Hub that supports Matter, Thread and Zigbee. It does not say the appliances use either radio.
The SmartThings page says the hub built into recent Samsung TVs supports Matter, and that Matter badges show compatible products. A 2023 report notes Samsung and Google let each other's ecosystems control the other's devices. We found no page confirming that Bespoke appliances are Matter devices or bridges.
Samsung's own assistant is the only one named on the Bespoke SmartThings page. Samsung's support page gives example commands such as an oven timer, a washer cycle and the refrigerator icemaker. The launch article says Bixby is gaining generative AI features.
Samsung's support page lists Google Assistant as an assistant to link in SmartThings under Menu, Voice assistant, with example commands for a dryer cycle, oven temperature and robot vacuum. The page does not give a model list or limits, and does not describe the Google Home app route.
The same support page lists Amazon Alexa as linkable in SmartThings, with example commands for a dishwasher, adding time to the oven and an air conditioner temperature. It gives no model list or limits.
The SmartThings iPhone listing does not mention Apple Home or HomeKit and we found no Samsung page covering it for appliances. We could not confirm support.
The ecosystem row. Appliances join SmartThings with a Samsung account, a Family Hub refrigerator can show a Map View to control other devices, and Samsung says a location holds up to 200 devices. The platform has its own profile on this site.
A built-in SmartThings integration uses the SmartThings cloud API (IoT class Cloud Push) and needs a Samsung account and the SmartThings app. It maps washers, dryers, dishwashers, cooktops, microwaves, ovens, range hoods, refrigerators, air conditioners and robot vacuums to entities, though some app-only features are not exposed. The page says free SmartThings API access will be phased out starting in October 2026, with a paid Personal Plan at 4.99 dollars a month. The project, not Samsung, maintains it.
The Homey page for Samsung SmartThings is labelled Athom B.V. Official, works on Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server, and needs Homey 12.3.0 or newer. It lists air conditioners, cooktops, dishwashers, dryers, fridges, microwaves, ovens, robot vacuums, soundbars, The Freestyle, TVs and washers. All device types are marked cloud and Homey Bridge, which seems at odds with the Works on list, and we could not resolve that.

SmartThings cloud API
Official
Samsung offers a SmartThings cloud API that Home Assistant uses to reach appliances. Home Assistant says free access is being phased out from October 2026 in favour of a paid Personal Plan. We did not read Samsung's developer documentation and found no local API for appliances.
Checked 11 November 2026 against the brand's own pages, app store listings and each project's own page. “Not found” means we searched and found nothing, not that it is impossible. Compatibility changes often. Spot an error? Tell us and we will fix it.
