Step 5: Discover Samsung TV on Alexa
After enabling the Samsung SmartThings skill, Amazon Alexa will automatically search for your Samsung Smart TV. If it doesnt find it, double-check that the TV is paired with the same Wi-Fi network as your Alexa device. If it still doesnt show up, try restarting both devices.
