Samsung has adopted smart home controls on Android 11, the company just decided to swap the location. Instead of being in the power menu (which is harder to access on One UI anyway because Samsung still thinks Bixby is a good thing), Samsung put the Android 11 smart home controls under the “devices” button that appears in the notification shade and quick settings.
Tapping that button brings up SmartThings by default, but a menu lets you switch that to Google Home. From there, an overflow menu lets you manage apps that can show up on this menu and customize the layout as you see fit.
The other slight change that Samsung made is that these buttons are no longer one-tap actions for turning devices on and off. Rather, they pull up the “slices” where you’ll have to tap again to toggle the power. A bit tedious if you ask me, but still better than looking for the app.
