I recently purchased the Samsung Connect Home, hoping it would seamlessly integrate with my existing SmartThings setup. While it worked well as a Wi-Fi router, connecting non-official devices was a challenge. After some research and trial, I discovered that using the SmartThings Classic App alongside the newer app allowed me to manage all my devices effectively. This setup not only resolved my connectivity issues but also provided a unified interface for control. I’m now able to automate my Philips Hue lights by directly connecting their hub to the Connect Home router, ensuring consistent performance. It’s been a rewarding experience, and I’m grateful for the community support that helped me overcome these hurdles. If anyone else is facing similar issues, I’d be happy to share more tips!
