You need two parts, the first part being the Samsung TV (Connect) Smart App:

The second being the Samsung TV Device Type :

Once you install those, go into the Samsung TV (Connect) app and let it search, it took longer to find my TV than you might at first thing it would so have some patience (mine took a minute or so), once it finds the TV you’ll find it in the ‘Market Place’ as an unconfigured device.

Note that the ST hub and the TV will probably need to be in the same subnet on your network for it to work and also make sure your TV is on at the time it is searching otherwise it can’t find it, personally with my TV, I tend to turn it on and make sure it can actually play something (YouTube, NetFlix, whatever), I feel sometimes the ‘networking’ on my TV can take a while to ‘wake up’.
