What this means

We list control and automation actions as Unknown rather than guessing. Unknown is a valid answer: a capability is only marked confirmed when a dated source shows it for this device type on this platform.

Requirements

Hub requirement: SmartThings-compatible hub required (standalone hub, Samsung TV, Station, etc.).

Matter spec: 1.4+.

Confidence

The evidence is a mix of official platform documentation and product- or community-level reports; some answers rest on documentation alone.
