About

SmartThings operates one of the world's largest IoT ecosystems, connecting Samsung devices - including phones, TVs, and appliances - with thousands of partner products to enable a unified smart home experience. The platform supports use cases across home automation, energy management, and home monitoring, and counts more than 350 million users worldwide.

A wholly owned subsidiary of Samsung, SmartThings is a founding member of Matter, the industry-wide interoperability protocol designed to simplify smart home device communication. The company's technical work spans IoT platforms, interoperability standards, and energy management systems, with offices in Minneapolis and the Bay Area.

SmartThings focuses on making connected-home technology accessible and unobtrusive - tools that improve daily life without demanding the user's attention. The platform's emphasis on broad device compatibility reflects a strategy centred on ecosystem scale rather than proprietary lock-in.
