C-Series motorized shades support Matter and can be added directly to SmartThings. After pairing, you can control your shade using the SmartThings app, scenes, and automations, and integrate it with other connected devices in your home.
Before you begin
Make sure:
your shade is installed and responsive using the remote
your phone is connected to your home Wi-Fi network
you have the SmartThings app installed
you have a Matter-compatible SmartThings hub set up (such as SmartThings Hub v3, SmartThings Station, or a supported Samsung device)
your hub supports Thread
you have the Matter setup code available
Step 1: Open the SmartThings app
Open the SmartThings app on your phone.
Tap the + icon.
Tap Add device.
Step 2: Add your shade
Scan the Matter setup code printed near the buttons on the bottom of your shade with your shade.
If scanning does not work, you can enter the code manually.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Assign the shade to a room when prompted.
Once setup is complete, your shade will appear in the SmartThings app.
Step 3: Test control
Use the SmartThings app to:
raise or lower the shade
adjust the shade position
include the shade in scenes and automations
You can also control your shade using voice assistants connected to SmartThings, such as Samsung Bixby, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant.
Step 4 (optional): Add your shade to the Mado Home app
You can also connect your shade to the Mado Home app to access additional features such as Eco Mode.
In the SmartThings app:
Select your Mado shade.
Open Device settings.
Look for Linked services or Share device (wording may vary slightly).
Generate a new Matter pairing code.
Open the Mado Home app.
Add a new shade.
When prompted, select More options.
Choose your Mado shade from the list of available accessories.
Paste the pairing code you copied from SmartThings.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete setup, including enabling Eco Mode.
Adding SmartThings alongside other smart home platforms
If your shade is already connected to another Matter-compatible system, you can add SmartThings using Matter multi-admin.
Open the app where the shade is already connected.
Generate a new Matter pairing code in the Mado Home app.
Add the shade in the SmartThings app using that code.
If the shade does not appear during setup, check that:
the shade is powered on and responsive to the remote control
your phone is on the correct Wi-Fi network
your SmartThings hub supports Matter and Thread
the Matter setup code is entered correctly
If pairing still fails, remove the device from any previously connected platforms and try again using a new Matter pairing code.
