1. Samsung SmartThings Wi-Fi

Samsung SmartThings Wi Fi

First things first: Samsung SmartThings requires a hub. You can get a regular Samsung SmartThings Hub, but we recommend that you go with the Samsung SmartThings Wi-Fi for added convenience. This works as both a Wi-Fi router and a SmartThings Hub, which proves to be a great two-in-one deal that will work perfectly unless you have a reason to prefer another router.

What’s best is this is no slouch. The Samsung SmartThings Wi-Fi is not just a regular router, it’s a mesh router. This means you can buy multiple to expand your Wi-Fi signal to all corners of your home.

There are plenty of smart light bulbs we recommend, but we can easily say Philips Hue lights are among the best Samsung SmartThings devices for most consumers. These offer quality, variety, and are available from a plethora of stores and online retailers. You see them everywhere!

A hub is required, but that’s what the Samsung SmartThings hub is for. The wide variety of lights that Philips has on offer can all be controlled by the SmartThings app. If you have a smart speaker, these bulbs can also be controlled using the Google Home and Amazon Echo devices. When looking at buying options, you don’t need to get a starter kit, as the Hue Bridge won’t be required. This will save you some good cash.

3. Samsung SmartThings Smart Bulb

Philips Hue smart light bulbs are great, but if you prefer sticking to Samsung products the company also offers its very own SmartThings LED light bulbs. They are affordable and convenient dimmable lights, but lack fancy features like multi-color lighting and other extras. Many of us don’t care for those features, though.

4. Sonos One

Sonos is known for its connected speakers, and the One is definitely one of the best Samsung SmartThings devices you can find. It will fill any room with powerful sound, and if you have two they can be paired for stereo audio. These also don’t skimp on connectivity. Aside from using its own app, it works with Apple Airplay, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and more.
