How do I add new devices to my SmartThings account?

To add new devices to a SmartThings account, users typically follow a straightforward process involving the SmartThings app, which serves as the hub for managing connected devices. First, users should ensure they have the SmartThings app installed on their smartphone or tablet and that their account is set up. After opening the app, they can tap on the “Add Device” option, usually represented by a plus sign or a similar icon. Next, the app will prompt users to select the brand or type of device they wish to add. SmartThings supports a wide range of devices, including smart lights, locks, sensors, and more. Once users select the appropriate category, they may need to follow specific instructions displayed on the screen, which often includes putting the device in pairing mode. After the device connects to the SmartThings account, users can assign it to a specific room or create custom automations as needed. It is advisable for users to refer to the user manual of the specific device for any additional setup steps.
