How to Choose

Choosing your SmartThings setup begins with how you want your home to feel and function:

• Start with the App: The SmartThings app is the central hub for managing all connected devices.

• Add a SmartThings Hub: Ideal for advanced automation and managing multiple devices.

• Select Compatible Devices: From lights and plugs to appliances and security systems.

• Create Automations: Customise scenes — for example, a “Good Morning” routine that opens blinds and starts the coffee machine.

Pair your SmartThings setup with stylish design elements from Gallery Direct or Maze for a truly balanced smart home experience.

Styling Tips

Smart homes should feel warm, inviting, and thoughtfully curated. Conceal smart hubs within cabinetry, choose elegant frames for smart displays, and coordinate device finishes with your interior palette. For an elevated look, pair metallic accents and textured fabrics with soft ambient lighting.
