Actions
What your agents can do in SmartThings
See the locations, rooms, devices and scenes in a Samsung SmartThings home, read a device's current status, control everyday devices (lights, plugs, thermostats, air conditioners, TVs and speakers, robot vacuums, blinds), and run scenes with approval, signed in as the SmartThings user. Locks, alarms, garage doors and security systems are not controlled.
Read 5
Look things up. Nothing changes.
List locations
Lists the SmartThings locations (homes) the user shared: each with locationId and name.
List rooms
Lists the rooms in a location: each with roomId and name.
List devices
Lists the devices the user shared, optionally only those with a capability (like switch, switchLevel, thermostatMode or temperatureMeasurement) or in one location.
Get a device's status
Reads a device's current state, by component and capability.
List scenes
Lists the user's scenes (saved sets of device settings, like Good night): each with sceneId, sceneName and locationId.
Write 2
Create, change or send.
Control a device
Sends one command to an everyday device: switch on or off, switchLevel setLevel (0 to 100), colorControl setColor or setHue, colorTemperature setColorTemperature.
Run a sceneDeletes data
Runs a scene by its sceneId, setting every device in it at once.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything. Actions that delete data ask first by default.
Connection
How it connects
Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Sign in with SmartThings and approve access (OAuth).
Kept safe
- Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
- They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
- Calls go only to the tool's own servers.
Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your SmartThings data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can list locations, list rooms or list devices in SmartThings, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update SmartThings
Have the agent run a scene in SmartThings as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Share what it finds in Slack
Give one agent SmartThings and Slack: it can list locations in SmartThings and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.

Yes. The SmartThings connector has 7 actions: 5 read and 2 make changes. Your agents can call them as tools, and your workflows can run them as steps.
How do I connect SmartThings?
Sign in with SmartThings and approve access (OAuth). Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys and are opened only at the moment of a call.
