## What is SofaKey?

Lost your physical remote? SofaKey turns your iPhone into a clean, responsive Wi-Fi remote for compatible Hisense Smart TVs powered by VIDAA.

Find your TV automatically, pair using the code shown on the screen, and stay in control from the phone that is already in your hand.

EVERYDAY TV CONTROLS

• Navigate with a familiar D-pad and OK button
• Adjust volume, mute sound, and change channels
• Turn your TV on or off
• Play, pause, rewind, and fast-forward
• Open Home, Back, and Menu
• Enter channel numbers with the number pad
• Launch Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, and Disney+ when available on your TV

QUICK SETUP

1. Connect your iPhone and TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
2. Open SofaKey and let it find compatible TVs nearby.
3. Select your TV and enter the pairing code displayed on its screen.

DESIGNED FOR DAILY USE

• Large controls made for comfortable one-handed use
• Haptic feedback for more natural button presses

WAKE YOUR TV

SofaKey can wake supported TVs from standby using Wake-on-LAN. Availability depends on your TV model and network settings.

COMPATIBILITY

SofaKey works only with compatible Hisense Smart TVs running the VIDAA operating system. Your iPhone and TV must be connected to the same local Wi-Fi network.

Hisense TV models that do not run VIDAA are not supported. Available commands and streaming shortcuts may vary by TV model, software version, and region. If SofaKey cannot find or control your TV, contact us and we will help you check compatibility.

Some features may require SofaKey Premium. Available plans, durations, and prices are shown in the app before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled through your Apple Account settings.
