Samsung - Wi-Fi Smart Home Adapter (Laundry) - Silver (Glossy)

Bought two of these adapters for my washer and dryer. Set up was easy but the app instructions are wrong. I had to look at the owners manual that came with my washer and dryer to figure out how to set it up. Set up took about 2 mins after that. Once set up, everything worked as expected. Was able to start my washer and dryer and see how many mins were left on each cycle, but after a few mins I opened the app to check on things, and it said my washer was disconnected. Then a few more mins later, it said my dryer was disconnected. Had to hold the smart control button down again and then I was able to see it connected. Then after 10 mins, it was disconnected again. I finally gave up and will be returning these things cause they are a total waste of money. They worked great when they work, but that’s hardly ever. I have a excellent WiFi signal in the room they are located, but they always disconnect from my WiFi.

It could have been a lot better. Setup took some time figuring out. Smart controls have to be enabled everytime to use it meaningfully so that's a bummer. Also, electric usage is only viewable when smart controls are enabled while doing a load. Also, shared with my spouse but it asks to register device again - so go through whole setup - bummer. Shows machine as disconnected at all times except when running a load. Basically a glorified notification gadget for laundry being complete. Samsung should be giving these along with the machine for the feature set. Hopefully, future software updates make this more usable.

I wanted to be the first on to give this a positive review. Unfortunately, this device is exactly as the other reviews indicate. I ran into a minor glitch in set up but it was easily resolved. It connects to the internet fairly easily. In order for this device to work, you must press the Smart Control button. On the washer, it locks the door. I thought you would be able to see the status of you loads or get a message when complete. Only if you press the smart control button. if you don't the appliances are offline. So, if I load the washer with clothes, why would I want to take these extra steps to have my phone control this? It takes time for it to connect to the internet and this slows the process down. I don't think I will ever use it. As the previous reviews indicate, don;t waste your money on this device. Hopefully, Samsung will develop a firmware update to improve this. Samsung is better than this.

This is an "ok"product, lets you know when your load is done, but not much further functionality, besides troubleshooting. This should be something that should come with washer purchase, in my opinion.

I bought the smart home adapter for my Samsung refrigerator. I was looking for a specific adapter for the refrigerator, but it turns out that there is only single Samsung adapter for appliances. I plugged it into my refrigerator, downloaded the app, and synced up the two. For some reason, there are two separate apps available and they both offer the same functionality. It works well, but offers limited control over what can be done. One can only monitor the temperature of the fridge and freezer; there is no way to change the said temperatures. The adjustments include turning the ice dispenser, power freeze and power cool on/off. That's about it. One interesting option is keep track of energy usage over the course of days/weeks/months. Overall, satisfied, but I wish there was a way to change the temperatures, especially, on the flex drawer.

This product was so terribly hard to get working and to connect to my washing machine. I had to work for 2 days trying to constantly reconnect my washer to my Wi-Fi. It still says I'm not connected, but every once in a while when I run my washer it says cycle complete so I assume it's working now. That's why I gave it any stars at all

I’ve got both my washer and dryer connected to my WiFi now but I’m not sure how useful it will be. If I open the app after starting the machines I’ll start getting texts letting me know the status of the machines...if I don’t connect, there’s no messages. We bought the dongles so my wife would be alerted when the cycles are completed. If I can get her to use the app this goal would be accomplished. So we’ll see how useful the connectivity will be...

This dongle installs easily but the it took AGES to set up and connect to my wifi. In the end I had to completely disable the 5ghz band on my router during the whole process. Now working well, although the app needs better functionality (scheduling etc)
