How does the Internet of Things work with SmartThings?

Internet of Things (IoT) works with SmartThings to connect smart devices in your home - appliances, lights, cameras, and more - into a seamless ecosystem. Find out which devices are supported by SmartThings.
By using a Samsung Smart TV or the SmartThings app, you can control and monitor all of your linked devices through the touch of a button or the use of a voice command.
