From the Home screen, swipe up or down to access the Apps screen. Touch the Samsung folder, and then touch SmartThings.
From Add device, you'll see a list of device types and brands. There are a couple of ways to check if your device is compatible.

- QR Code: If your device has a QR code on it, you can tap Scan QR code at the top of the screen to see if it's compatible. If needed, allow the permissions, and then use your phone's camera to scan the code. If the scan does not work, it means the device is not compatible.
- Scan nearby: This option lets you scan for smart devices or Bluetooth devices that are currently in range. The device needs to be turned on and in pairing mode in order for it to appear. If your device appears, it's compatible! But please be aware that certain Bluetooth devices.
