Works with · TVs
The TV joins the hub over your Wi-Fi, and every phone in the house becomes its remote: arrows, volume, inputs and apps, whichever brand it is.
Every one talks to the hub in your house. No maker's cloud, nothing a month.
What they do on the hub
Arrows, OK, back, home, volume and channels, laid out the same whatever the brand. A button a TV does not have is simply not drawn.
Volume stops at 45 from the app or by voice. Going louder takes a PIN.
"Turn the TV down." "Put the TV on HDMI 2." Said to the nearest screen, done.
Cinema dims the lights and puts the TV on HDMI 1. At 21:30 the TV goes down to 10.
Brand by brand
Which models, and what each brand does once it has joined. Not sure about yours? Send us a photo and we will tell you straight.
Bravia TVs with Google TV or Android TV.
A Bravia shows a code on screen the first time; type it in the app and it is done. After that the app names what is on, TV, YouTube or Netflix, rather than the code a Sony reports to the network.
webOS smart TVs.
An LG asks once whether to allow the hub; press OK on its own remote and that is it. Its apps and HDMI inputs then come up as tiles to tap.
Tizen smart TVs from 2016 on.
A Samsung asks you to choose Allow the first time. From then on the hub sends its buttons over your network, volume, arrows and sources, with no Samsung account needed.
Philips TVs with Android TV or Google TV.
A Philips shows a code to type in once. Then its apps and inputs are tiles on every phone, next to the TV in the other room, whoever made that one.
TVs and boxes that run them, including TCL TVs, the Google TV Streamer, Chromecast with Google TV and NVIDIA SHIELD.
Type the 6-character code the TV shows, and YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+ open from tiles in the app, with nothing to set up on the TV.
Roku streaming sticks and players, and Roku TVs.
Nothing to do on the Roku itself: the hub finds it on your network and you confirm. Its channels appear as tiles, and play and pause work from any phone.
Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD.
The Apple TV shows a code to type in once. From then on the app works its menu, play and pause and volume, so the box answers every phone in the house, Android ones included.
Our remote does not speak to every TV yet: Amazon Fire TV, Panasonic and Hisense's own system are not on this list. A Google TV or Roku box plugged into one of those can be.
Questions
Yes. Our app has one remote for every TV in the house, on every phone, tablet and computer: arrows, volume, inputs and apps.
No. The limit covers the app and voice. The remote that came with the TV is outside it.
Yes. Turn the TV down and it is the soundbar it plays through that goes down, in the app and by voice.
If it is a smart TV on your Wi-Fi from one of these makers, usually yes. A TV with no network cannot join, but a Google TV or Roku box plugged into it can.

A photo or a list on WhatsApp is enough. We check every model, say what joins and what we would fit instead, and give you a fixed price in writing.
