Cannot Activate the SmartThings Hub

To add compatible SmartThings devices to the Wi-Fi Hub with the SmartThings app, the SmartThings Hub must be activated in the SmartThings app. You cannot activate a hub using a web browser. If the SmartThings Hub cannot be activated, there may be an issue with the SmartThings app or the Wi-Fi Hub. Try updating the app, uninstalling and reinstalling it, or removing the hub and adding it again.

Fortunately, you can customize the name of your smart devices in the SmartThings app.
