Have a question or need help?

Contact us at partners@smartthings.com for assistance.

This guide details the streamlined certification path for Matter-based devices that undergo testing at the Connectivity Standards Alliance Interoperability Lab (CSA ITL). When you send your Matter devices for testing at the CSA ITL, your devices will automatically be tested for Works with SmartThings certification support at no cost to you.

Learn more about the CSA Interoperability Test Lab at https://csa-iot.org/certification/interop-lab/

If your products pass WWST certification testing, you can register your products in the Certification Console to obtain automatic Works with SmartThings certification.

Works with SmartThings certified products provide a seamless, high-quality experience for Samsung SmartThings users. Enjoy enhanced visibility and credibility within the SmartThings ecosystem, plus exclusive benefits including:

  • ✅ Permission to use the Works with SmartThings logo and branding kit.
  • 🌎 Featured placement in the SmartThings app and website, with purchase links reaching over 380M global users.
  • 📢 Co-marketing opportunities such as campaigns, PR initiatives, events, and more.
  • 💡 Access to user engagement analytics for insights and optimization.

Process Overview​

  1. Create Your SmartThings Organization and Brand: Create a SmartThings Organization and Brand in the Certification Console. (You can do this at any time, even before your testing is complete.)

  2. Wait for results: CSA ITL will test your device for both Matter and WWST compliance. Once testing is complete and your device has passed, you will receive an email from wwst.cert@samsung.com.

  3. Create Your Product(s) in the Certification Console: Using the specific information from your test results email, create a new Product in the Certification Console.

  4. Submit and Get Approved: Submit your product(s) for final approval. Because your device already passed testing, this approval is automatic and finalizes your certification.

Create Your SmartThings Organization and Brand​

If you have previously created a Works with SmartThings Brand and Organization

Log in to the Certification Console using the Samsung account associated with your Organization. After logging in, skip to create your product in the Certification Console.

You can create an organization and brand at any time and do not need to wait for your device to pass testing.

Configure Your Organization​

To complete the certification process, you will need to create a SmartThings Organization to manage your brand in the Certification console.

  1. Sign in to the Certification Console using your Samsung account.
  2. Navigate to the Console Organization Settings. At the top right corner of the Console, click your username and select Organization Settings.

To create a new Product in the Console, select Products from the Console sidebar menu and create a new product, or navigate to https://developer.smartthings.com/console/products/new. On the new product page, you will be asked to provide your product details.
