how home app works with Samsung phone

It doesn’t, not with a Samsung phone. The Apple HomeKit Home app requires an iPhone or iPad.


hub?

Apple HomeKit setup requires a ‘home hub’ to bring all the smart devices together for automations and ‘scenes’ under one online account. That home hub can be an Apple TV box, an Apple HomePod smart speaker, or iPad. Set up your HomePod, HomePod mini, Apple TV, or iPad as a home hub - Apple Support. Without that, you do not have a HomeKit setup.
