Full description

Lost your physical remote between couch cushions? Tired of universal remote apps that interrupt button presses with 30-second video ads? SmartRemote gives you instant, ad-free control over your televisions directly over your local home Wi-Fi network. SUPPORTED TELEVISIONS & PLATFORMS SmartRemote currently provides tested, direct Wi-Fi LAN protocol support for: • Roku: Complete control over all Roku TV sets (TCL, Hisense, Sharp, Philips, Onn) and standalone streaming players (Roku Express, Streaming Stick, Premiere, Ultra). Uses direct HTTP on port 8060. • Android TV and Google TV: Encrypted TLS connection with secure PIN pairing on port 6467. Compatible with Sony Bravia, TCL Google TV, Hisense Android TV, Philips, Chromecast with Google TV, and Nvidia Shield. PLATFORMS COMING SOON We only activate manufacturer protocols after physical hardware testing. The following platforms are in development and will roll out in upcoming updates: • Samsung Smart TV (Tizen WebSocket protocol) • LG webOS (SSAP WebSocket protocol) • Built-in Infrared (IR blaster transmitter library for legacy televisions) ZERO ADS, ZERO POP-UPS Most remote apps blast you with full-screen ads right when you want to change the volume or pause a movie. SmartRemote includes zero banner ads, zero pop-ups, and zero video interruptions. Every button press works right away. HOME SCREEN REMOTE WIDGET Control your TV without opening the app. Place the SmartRemote widget on your home screen for instant Power, Volume Up/Down, Mute, and OK navigation buttons. BUILT FOR DAILY USE • Tactile Directional Pad: Four-way directional pad with center select button for fast navigation through TV menus. • Volume and Channel Rockers: Dedicated vertical rocker controls for quick audio adjustments and channel selection. • Media Playback Strip: Instant play, pause, rewind, fast-forward, and mute controls. • Streaming Channel Quick Switcher: One-tap launcher buttons for YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+. • Quick Settings Tile: Pull down the Android notification shade to send remote commands from any screen. • Multi-TV Profiles: Save separate configurations for living room, bedroom, and kitchen televisions. • Manual IP Connection: Connect directly to custom subnets or hidden networks by typing your television's IP address. PRIVACY BY DESIGN SmartRemote runs completely on your local network. It does not collect personal identifiers, does not transmit viewing habits to external trackers, and does not require an account or login. Simple configuration. Zero advertisements. Reliable television control.
