Bunch of nonsense. Tried to add washer and dryer to home automation and got an error that it was already registered. It was set up on my wife's samsung account, she added to my home (space), we invited each other with full permissions, but it still tells me to register for access. Reached to support from within the app, only to be transferred twice, and then told to call another number. Pure and absolute nonsense.

Can't log in to the app. I can log in to my account through the web on my phone but the app never logs in. Update: Had to delete the app, restart the phone, and then reinstall to get the log in process to work. Still just 3 stars from me because the app just doesn't have many options for the Samsung soundbar, which is the only reason I downloaded the app.
