Lost your Hisense remote? Turn your iPhone into one in seconds. Remote for Hisense TV connects directly to your TV over your home Wi-Fi. No IR blaster, no account, no login. Pair once with the code on your TV screen, and from then on the app reconnects silently every time you open it. Tap power, and your TV turns on from your phone. WORKS WITH Works with Hisense VIDAA, Google TV, Android TV, and Roku TV models - including the U series, A series and R series. Not sure which one you have? Open the app: it detects your TV's system during setup and tells you honestly before you spend a minute on it. Roku owners: since Roku OS 14.1, Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Control by mobile apps defaults to "Limited", which blocks button presses from every phone app, not just this one.
