On supported TVs, pointer, app shortcuts, input selection, and text entry are also available. Features vary by model and the app running on the TV. SMART HOME Connect your own home automation server to control supported lights, plugs, climate devices, curtains, vacuums, fans, and locks. Supported Wi-Fi lights, switches, and covers can be found on your local network, and compatible lighting bridges can be paired too. Remotly shows controls based on the capabilities each device reports. YOUR DEVICES Save devices with familiar names and switch between them from one list.
