Samsung’s SmartThings has always been an alternative for Android users. If you use SmartThings to set up routines for your smart home, Amazon will enable multi-admin features and easier onboarding with every new Alexa device set up through the app. Amazon built Matter-based credential sharing directly into Alexa’s API.

During Samsung’s annual developer conference last month, Google and Samsung also announced a similar collaboration. You’ll be able to use your Galaxy smartphone to set up a Matter-compatible smart home and set up multi-admin, just like through Alexa.
