Hi, can you TV install Alexa? If yes, eufy can be connected to the TV.

Unfortunately, as of now, Eufy doorbells do not natively integrate with Samsung SmartThings directly. However, you can use third-party solutions or workarounds to connect the two. Here’s how you might achieve integration using available options:

  1. Use IFTTT (If This Then That)

IFTTT allows you to create automation between Eufy and SmartThings-compatible devices.

Steps:

  1. Set Up IFTTT:

Go to IFTTT and create an account if you don’t have one.

  1. Connect Eufy:

Add the Eufy Security service in IFTTT.

  1. Create an Applet:

Create an applet that triggers when the Eufy doorbell is pressed.

The action could be a SmartThings-compatible event, like turning on a light or sending a notification.

  1. Use SmartThings Virtual Switch (Optional for Automation)

You can create a virtual switch in SmartThings that IFTTT toggles when the Eufy doorbell is triggered.

Steps:

  1. Create a Virtual Switch:

Open the SmartThings app, navigate to Devices, and add a new virtual switch.

  1. Link IFTTT to the Switch:

Set up an IFTTT action to turn the virtual switch on when the doorbell rings.

  1. Automate Other SmartThings Devices:

Use SmartThings automation to have other devices respond to the virtual switch being toggled.

  1. Consider Using Alexa or Google Home as a Bridge

Both Alexa and Google Home can work with Eufy and SmartThings. Use routines to bridge actions between the two.

Steps:

  1. Connect both Eufy and SmartThings to Alexa or Google Home.
  2. Create a routine that uses the doorbell press to trigger SmartThings devices
