Smart TV Remote Pro turns your phone into a remote for compatible Smart TVs. Everything happens on your local Wi‑Fi—no account, no cloud, no subscription. How it works - Your phone and TV must be on the same Wi‑Fi network. - The app discovers TVs on the network or lets you enter the TV’s IP address to connect. - Once connected, it sends the same kinds of key presses (power, volume, channel, D‑pad, etc.) that a physical remote sends, using Smart TV's standard remote API over the local network. What you can do - Discovery: Scan for Smart TVs on the network or add a TV manually by IP. - Remote control: Full on-screen remote with: - Basic: Power, mute, volume up/down, channel up/down, previous channel, D‑pad (up/down/left/right), OK, and shortcuts (Home, Back, Source, Menu, Guide, Info). - Numbers: Digit pad 0–9 and previous channel for direct channel entry. - Media: Rewind, play, pause, stop, fast forward for built‑in apps and connected sources. - Settings: Choose light, dark, or system theme; see app version; open Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. - First launch: Short onboarding explains that the app uses the local network to find and control your TV.
