Network TV Remote

Network TV Remote turns your iPhone or iPad into a private, remote control for compatible smart TVs on your local Wi-Fi network. No accounts, no tracking, no cloud — your device talks directly to your TV and nothing else. Compatibility - Designed for Philips smart TVs that expose the open JointSpace HTTP API (v6) on their local network — most SAPHI-OS models from 2020 onwards (for example the xxPUS7xxx and xxPUS8xxx ranges, including the 50PUS7607). What's inside - Auto-discovery: scans your local Wi-Fi network for compatible TVs in seconds. - Manual IP fallback: if your network blocks discovery, type the TV's address directly. - Multiple saved TVs: switch between living-room, bedroom, or office TVs with a single tap. Give each a nickname. - Full remote layout: power, navigation pad with OK, Home, Back, Source, media transport, live volume slider, numeric keypad, red/green/yellow/blue colour keys, subtitle toggle. - Sleep timer: 15 / 30 / 60 / 90-minute presets with a live countdown that keeps running in the background. - App shortcuts: launch Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+ on the TV with one tap. - Auto-reconnect: the last connected TV is restored on launch. - Connection status: a clear badge tells you whether the app is searching, connecting, or connected. - Dark-mode-only design tuned for evening use. Privacy first - No accounts, no sign-ins, no profiles. - No analytics, no tracking, no telemetry. - No cloud: every command goes from your iPhone or iPad straight to the TV on your own Wi-Fi network. Nothing else. - Settings (TV addresses, nicknames, optional Wake-on-LAN URL) are stored locally on your device and removed when you uninstall. Optional add-ons (you control them) - Wake-on-LAN: power the TV on from cold by pointing the app at a small HTTP relay on your home network (e.g. Home Assistant, a tiny Pi script, or any always-on device). - HDMI-CEC bridge: send fallback commands through a Chromecast or Pi-CEC device on the same HDMI trunk if it exposes an HTTP endpoint. Setup is two minutes 1. Make sure JointSpace / EasyLink is enabled in the TV's network settings. 2. Open the app and tap Scan network — or type the TV's IP address. 3. Tap Connect. That's it.
