Hi all,
I am looking at buying new appliances and based off the recent prices we are really considering the Family Hub fridge.
One question I have not been able to find an answer to is whether the fridge has a Smartthings control interface.
I know it was demoed at launch but I can’t find any documentation.
Anyone have any info of whether I can control lights/routines from this fridge?

This article may not be “current”, but look halfway down the page for a SmartThings App sample.
NB: These days the fridge may be running “Samsung Connect” or whatever the other App is called…

Thanks for the info. A little frustrating that was demoed and doesn’t work.
But actiontiles would be my preferred solution if it works!

Wow… I have to say that SmartTiles looks great on there!
Let me know if you have any luck or issues with ActionTiles , Matt.
We can’t do any debugging on that darn fridge (ewww… bugs in the fridge ); but if it works, we’ll talk about featuring you in a blog !
Thanks! I’ll get going on action tiles. I’m eagerly awaiting the samsung connect/smartthings migration, then the tvs and fridge will work a lot more seamlessly with the smartthings devices.

I have a question the refrigerator does not see my Foss camera as connected. I had to add an app to my smartthings hub for that to see my camera. But I don’t know how to add third party apps to Samsung connect

the smarthings widget is very handy on the Family Hub. We can fit 6 or 7 devices on the widget for quick access. We use “turn off the tv” “thermostats” and a few lighting options right on the home screen widget

How can you rearrange the tiles on the fridge app to put the ones you want most at the front? I can’t figure that out.
If you open the ST app on the fridge u can choose favorites and reorder them
