The compatibility is limited to connecting it as a device on the alexa app/ network which would allow “alexa turn the TV on” and so on. everything you can already do in the samsung app.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Dgravel, Your TV works with Alexa-enabled devices. You can ask Alexa to turn on your TV, change channels, control the volume, and more. You will need to download both the SmartThings app and the Amazon Alexa app. 1) Discover your TV in the SmartThings app by selecting the Add Device option. 2) Be sure your Alexa device has been discovered in your Alexa app. 3) From the Alexa app, enable SmartThings Skill for a TV. Once this skill is added, go to Discover Devices, and your TV will be automatically discovered. If you are also using Alexa for an external speaker or soundbar and your TV, you can say volume up and volume down along with the name of the device you want to operate. On the Amazon Alexa app on your smartphone, check the name of the TV or device you want to operate. I hope this helps! If you need more help, Samsung is here for you.
