I've got a KS9500 UK and we was surposed to get a SmartThings Extend dongle.

But it is not coming out now. So are we going to get Tizen SmartThings app for our TV?

Anyone from Samsung going to give me an answer?

 

"Your new TV will come with the SmartThings Extend, a small USB-like dongle that plugs into your TV. Once you’ve done this, switch on your TV and connect to Wi-Fi."

This looks like a miss sold product.

Hey @Tezz! Do you have any packaging/documentation indicating this offer at the time of purchase?

All the info I got was from J Lewis and Currys.

 

The link I posted(which is still live) tells people they will get a free Extend USB dongle.

 

"Samsung’s 2016 SUHD TVs have a built-in SmartThings hub, which is normally bought separately.

Your new TV will come with the SmartThings Extend, a small USB-like dongle that plugs into your TV. Once you’ve done this, switch on your TV and connect to Wi-Fi."

 

"On the TV’s hub screen, you’ll see the SmartThings app alongside things like Netflix, YouTube and regular channels"

The same thing was told to me and others about this in Richer Sounds\Currys\Pcworld\J Lewis.

I've talked to CAB and now I'm(with others) are talking to BBCs watch dog program as

Samsung won't help.

I did have a card about Extend but I can't find it. This is 100% a miss sold product.

There is a video of Samsungs CO telling everyone who has a 2016 UHD TV they will get a free Smartthings Extend FREE.

Retailers are still telling people about the SmartThings Extend. Enough is Enough.
