You can also use SmartThings to control Wi-Fi gear. Samsung wisely retained an ethernet port, for enthusiasts who prefer the assurance of hardwired ethernet, but the third-gen SmartThings Hub can also join your home network over Wi-Fi.

What can SmartThings control?

SmartThings works with hundreds of compatible devices, including lights, cameras, voice assistants, locks, thermostats and more.
