Why is your Hisense TV remote always missing when you need it most? How do you type Netflix passwords on your H8G or U8G series without fumbling with arrow keys? This app transforms your iPhone into a full-featured remote for Hisense smart TVs, with faster text input and reliable connection. Designed for Hisense TV owners who need immediate control without hunting for the physical remote. Works with most Hisense models including H8G, H9G, A6G, U8G, and ULED series running VIDAA or Android TV. HOW IT WORKS The app scans your Wi-Fi network to detect compatible Hisense TVs using the same protocols your original remote uses. Once connected, it sends commands directly to your TV through your home network. The touchpad feature converts finger movements into precise cursor control, while the keyboard function lets you type entire passwords or search terms at once. Connection typically takes 10-15 seconds and works as long as both devices share the same network. COMPATIBLE HISENSE MODELS H8G Series — 55H8G, 65H8G, 75H8G with VIDAA U4 H9G Series — 55H9G, 65H9G with Quantum Dot display A6G Series — 43A6G, 50A6G, 55A6G, 65A6G budget models U8G Series — 55U8G, 65U8G, 75U8G ULED premium U7G Series — All sizes with local dimming zones Android TV Models — Any Hisense running Android TV 9.0 or newer KEY FEATURES — Touchpad Navigation: Your phone screen becomes a trackpad for smooth cursor movement through menus, apps, and web browsers. Much faster than directional arrows. — Full Keyboard Support: Type passwords, search terms, and URLs using your phone keyboard instead of selecting letters one by one. Essential for streaming apps. — Voice Search Integration: Speak your search terms and the app converts them to text input for your TV. Works with YouTube, Netflix, and other apps. — Multiple TV Management: Control different Hisense TVs throughout your home from one app. Switch between rooms without reconfiguring. — Volume and Power Controls: All basic remote functions including volume, channel changing, input switching, and power on/off. — Auto-Reconnection: Remembers your TV settings and reconnects automatically when you open the app. WHO USES THIS APP Hisense TV owners who constantly misplace their physical remote and need immediate access to basic controls and text input. Especially useful for parents managing multiple streaming app logins. Apartment dwellers with wall-mounted TVs where the remote often falls behind furniture or gets lost in couch cushions. The phone is always within reach. Families with multiple Hisense TVs who want to control any TV from anywhere in the house without carrying multiple remotes between rooms.

aetherSmart puts your Aether X-Series heat pump water heater in your pocket. See exactly what your hot water is doing right now — the current tank temperature, whether the unit is heating, and how it is tracking through the day. Set the temperature you want and the app handles the rest. MODES FOR HOW YOU LIVE Eco runs at the lowest cost and is the default. Standard gives you warmer water on demand. Boost heats fast when you need it — and returns to Eco on its own once the tank reaches temperature, so it never keeps running in the expensive band. SCHEDULE AROUND YOUR TARIFF Set timers to heat during solar hours or off-peak windows. Scheduled runs always use Eco mode. Set it once and leave it. ALERTS THAT ACTUALLY REACH YOU Get told if your tank drops below temperature, or if the unit reports a fault — on your lock screen, even when the app is closed. Faults are named with the exact code, so your installer knows what they are coming to before they arrive. HOLIDAY MODE Going away? Hold the tank at a lower temperature while you are gone, and bring it back with one tap. FOR INSTALLERS Commission new units, run live diagnostics, read sensor values and fault registers, and hand systems over to the homeowner when the job is done. aetherSmart works with Aether X-Series heat pump water heaters. A paired unit is required to use the app.
