SmartThings
Advanced: com.samsung.android.oneconnect Advanced Vendor documentation
Samsung's smart home app that controls TVs, appliances, lights and Bluetooth gear from a Galaxy phone. You can disable it, with a caveat: read what stops working first.
What it does
SmartThings connects and controls Samsung TVs and appliances, many third-party smart home devices, and some Bluetooth accessories. It also powers the Devices panel in Quick settings, scenes and automations, and on many phones the older SmartThings Find service for locating lost Galaxy devices. Samsung publishes it on the Play Store and Galaxy Store. It runs in the background to keep device status and automations current.
If you disable it
You lose control of smart home devices and the Quick settings Devices panel, and SmartThings Find stops locating your Galaxy devices and SmartTags on phones that still use it.
How to disable it
Settings offers Disable for this package on most phones. Open Settings > Apps > SmartThings > Disable.
Disable it (reversible)
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.oneconnectTurn it back on
adb shell pm enable com.samsung.android.oneconnectThe stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.
Uninstall for the main user

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.oneconnectNew to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.
Data and battery
