The TV remote control is one of those things that is constantly lost, and in order to find it, you need to move the interior items, see if the remote has fallen under the pillow, if it has flown under the sofa, and so on. But this can be easily avoided, because for a long time there have been applications that can easily turn your smartphone into a remote control for TV and even other home appliances.

Who needs a remote control when they have a smartphone?

Just in case, I would like to note right away that in order for you to be able to use the applications described below, your TV must have the Smart-TV function. Or a set-top box like Google Chromecast or something like that must be connected to the TV. Simply put, your TV must have wireless data transfer interfaces like Wi-Fi in order for the smartphone app to “make friends” with the TV. By the way, it would be interesting to know what Smart-TV options you use. Write about it in our chat in Telegram.

Android TV Remote - Simple and convenient remote

Universal TV Remote Control - Universal remote control

The Universal TV Remote Control app can send commands to over 300 different TV models. But that's not all. Even if your TV is not on the list of supported devices, Universal TV Remote Control still won't leave you in trouble. The program has universal remote with customizable buttons and virtual touch panel. All this will give you the opportunity to forget about the usual remote control and use your smartphone. All you need is to connect your smartphone and TV to the same Wi-Fi network.

Peel smart remote - To control your TV and more

Peel smart remote is another universal TV remote control, but with a much more concise and pleasant design. In addition to a fairly large number of supported models and the ability to work with TVs "unknown" to the program, there is a TV guide. True, most of the content that the program will advise you is on english language... On the other hand, a considerable number of people are now starting to watch shows, films and series in their original language. So this option can be very useful for such users.

In addition, Peel smart remote can control not only the "box", but also TV-boxes, air conditioners and other smart devices that you have at home. This is a pretty cool feature.

SURE Universal remote - Control the operation of all devices in the house

This app works like a universal remote control that can give commands to a wide variety of devices. Moreover, the list of supported devices includes not only various electrical appliances, but also quite interesting gadgets. For example, smart speakers. In addition, SURE Universal remote can be integrated into a smart home system and generally control everything around from all over the smartphone.

Control your TV from your phone or tablet. Quite recently, such a thought seemed like something unrealizable and stupid. Nowadays, being able to control your TV via your phone doesn't seem so fantastic, does it? Every modern person has a smartphone, so why not make it a replacement for the remote control? Apparently, the same thoughts were visited by the manufacturers of equipment, who brought the idea to life. As you might have guessed, the smartphone is able to replace the usual push-button remote control. Now I propose to figure out how the TV is controlled, and what is needed for this.

What do you need to control your TV from your mobile phone?

Fortunately, the times when a simple task on devices had to be done with a bunch of dances with a tambourine are leaving the past. Equipment manufacturers today are trying to make the operation of their products as convenient and simple as possible with a processor. You no longer have to study the forums in an attempt to find out how to get the phone to replace the usual remote control. We need the bare minimum: a modern smartphone and TV, as well as software. All.

It is clear that all this will not work thanks to air, although if you look from the point of view of an ordinary user, then this is approximately how it happens. We, as advanced users, understand that we need some kind of technology to connect a mobile phone and a TV.

Wi-Fi connection

The most widespread, despite the emergence of new ones, remains Wi-Fi. Manufacturers install the wireless interface in everything that is possible. Therefore, a modern TV in most cases does not remain deprived, I am already silent about smartphones, even the cheapest ones. As a rule, only TVs with Smart TVs support Wi-Fi, a sort of operating system that turns it into a more functional device. That is, it will not work to control an old TV with a picture tube via Wi-Fi without additional devices. Which ones?

Smart consoles on Android come to the rescue, which have the capabilities of a small computer or tablet. And so, you already have Wi-Fi. True, you can only control the TV-Box interface - you won't be able to switch channels.

Xiaomi with infrared port controls old TVs

Interesting solutions are offered by the well-known company Xiaomi, which is famous for its inexpensive high-quality smartphones with productive hardware and other "chips". Chinese developers, namely they are engaged in the production of these mobile devices, have decided that a modern gadget cannot do without an IrDA. These are the same sensors that have been installed in TV remotes for decades.

So, most Xiaomi smartphones, which got an infrared port, can control TVs without any problems, and even old ones, which can only dream of Wi-Fi. Moreover, they can control other equipment: air conditioners, projectors, etc. Therefore, if your TV from the early 00s is late, and the remote control has long been lost, you can buy a Xiaomi phone, extending its life.

Concerning software, then there is nothing complicated here either. Don't feel like you have to connect your TV to your computer while running any programming environment. Everything is elementary: download the application to your smartphone (for operating android systems on the Play Market, iOS - App Store), we pair the mobile phone and the TV, set everything up for ourselves, enjoy the work done.

To get started, you can search for official apps for a specific TV. Bought a model from LG, look for information on the manufacturer's website. A TV from a little-known company, then we are looking for universal applications, the names of which contain something like Remote Control or Remote TV. We'll talk about universal applications below.

If you decide that you do not want to depend on Wi-Fi and have purchased a smartphone from Xiaomi with an infrared port, then you do not have to do any additional steps. The manufacturer has already done everything for the user. The smartphone must have the Mi Remote app installed. Quite convenient and easy to learn. We go in, interface with the desired TV and you can forget about the control panel.

Which application should you choose?

So, now you know what it takes to control your TV using your smartphone or tablet. Next, I suggest you consider popular applications, and then we will go directly to the connection process. And we will analyze applications mainly for Android devices, because they have a lot of universal utilities that are suitable for any technique, and branded in bulk. Plus, most of them are available for iOS as well.

And we will start with branded applications that the company offers, releasing a line of TVs. Of course, only fairly large manufacturers can boast of such support, which are able to allocate money for the development and support of the program. Of these, we immediately remember Samsung or LG. And yes, they provide their users with proprietary TV control utilities.

Controlling LG Smart TV from your mobile phone

The first in line are LG TVs. The company has been manufacturing them for a long time, developing many modern low-cost solutions that occupy a significant market share. Not surprisingly, they were among the first to release an application for controlling TVs from a smartphone, and more than one. For models that were presented before 2011, the LG TV Remote 2011 utility is presented. For newer solutions, another application has been developed -.

The applications are quite user-friendly, simple and functional. When you turn it on for the first time, you need to pair it by entering a confirmation code on your phone or tablet, which will appear on the TV screen. Then we can start using it. Applications allow you to broadcast the image from the phone screen to the TV, control programs and games, and browse the Internet. The utilities are distributed free of charge, they quickly find the TV. The updated versions can work with other LG equipment, such as an audio system.

App for Samsung Smart TV

The South Korean company, being one of the most famous in the world, simply could not help but release an application for its customers that will allow you to control your TV from your Android smartphone or tablet. Called Samsung SmartView, it offers a pretty handy and simple utility. Its main "trick" is the ability to broadcast the image both from the phone to the TV, and in the other direction. So, you can watch your favorite show while in another room.

One more interesting feature can be called gyroscope support, which allows you to control games on your TV screen using your smartphone. Interesting, isn't it? But Samsung was never able to develop its brainchild, which received many negative reviews in the Play Market. Users cite a bunch of errors and inability to pair, which is why many prefer third-party remotes.

Apps for Sony and Philips TVs

Finally, a few words about programs for controlling Sony and Philips TVs. In general, they do not differ much from the options discussed above, the manufacturers just added a little of their own. Video & TV SideView: Remote is available for Sony. Quite interesting, but with its own problems, which are noted by users.

Knows how to switch channels, adjust the volume and perform other functions inherent in the remote control. In addition, you can watch a TV program right in the application, and the system will compile lists of recommended programs. Even more interesting is the "feature" with the ability to control the TV via a smart watch from Sony. Of course, the functions are somewhat cut down, but it looks rather unusual.

Philips MyRemote is a utility of the same name from Philips. Everything is the same, but the program is littered with ads, which many users complain about. Supports almost all Smart TVs from the manufacturer, quite easy to use, but pairing takes a long time.

Universal programs

Not all TVs from the companies presented above, and not all users are satisfied with the proprietary utility. Therefore, universal applications are relevant, which are supported by most Android devices, as well as many technologies. To date, a huge number of both good and not so good programs have been presented. We have compiled a list of the most popular and high quality ones.

So, the app with the self-explanatory name SURE Universal Remote received good ratings and reviews:

• Simple and convenient implementation,
• quick pairing,
• work even with very old TVs.

I am glad that the utility supports both Wi-Fi connection and control using an IR sensor. It is possible to broadcast photos and videos from a phone or tablet to a TV, it supports SURE Universal Remote and work with air conditioners, projectors. Of the minuses, we single out annoying ads, which are the price for free distribution.

But the developer Vsray Technology offers a TV remote application for tablets and smartphones. Yes, the name is simple, but in terms of functionality the utility bypasses many competitors. It stands out for its interesting interface, which is stylized as a regular remote control, apparently, hence the name. The developer claims to support more than 220,000 devices, and the TV remote itself is available free of charge. True, the utility works only in conjunction with an infrared port, and is also simply full of advertisements.

Finally, another interesting program for controlling a TV via a smartphone or tablet is smart IR remote. It does not have as many downloads as those presented above, but many users in thematic discussions mark this particular utility. Of the merits, it is credited with the most successful interface, regular updates, a wide base of supported devices, and convenience. smart IR remote is available for download on smartphones and tablets for free.

I think that will be enough. Already from our list you can choose an application to your liking, and if not, then no one forbids you to try other solutions, of which there are plenty in the Play Market, and almost all of them are available for free (only advertising is boring). Move on.

Instructions: How to connect a phone / tablet to a TV

Well, you are now familiar with the theory, let's move on to practice. For starters, call phones with an infrared port. Everything is simple here. We download (if not) the application, direct the smartphone with the transmitter to the TV so that the devices can detect each other, we pair. That's it, you can fully use the virtual remote control.

The situation with the connection via Wi-Fi is a little more complicated. We can make the connection in two ways: directly or through a router.

1. In the first case, it is necessary that both devices (TV and smartphone (or tablet)) support Wi-Fi Direct. The technology is very widespread, therefore it is present in many modern devices.
2. The second method allows you to do without Wi-Fi Direct by connecting your TV and phone to the same network. By the way, the TV can be connected to the router with a wire (Ethernet), which is often used by users to provide a higher and more stable connection speed. It's just that the commands will be sent wirelessly from the smartphone to the router, and from it through the wire to the TV. I think you won't have any problems connecting to the same network.

All that remains is to install the application, choosing the one you like from the list compiled by us, or download it from the Play Market. As a rule, the utilities are easy to use, even if they only have English.

To pair the two devices, you need to enter a pin code in the application, which, after a connection request, will appear on the TV screen.

By default, you can immediately start using the basic functions of the remote: change channels, adjust the sound, etc. After digging for some time in the settings, you can optimize applications for personal needs.

Wake-On-LAN - without it, the TV cannot be turned on

It is impossible not to mention the problem faced by many users who want to control the TV through the phone. No, this is not advertising coming from all sides. It is quite simple to get rid of it: we purchase the premium version of the utility. I want to tell you about such a feature as Wake-On-LAN.

This function, if present on the device, allows it to be turned on by sending data packets via local area network (in our case, the Wi-Fi wireless interface). That is, if the TV does not have Wake-On-LAN, you simply do not turn it on through the application, you still have to look for the remote control and the power button.

When enabled, all other commands are available, including shutdown. Therefore, if you want your TV to be able to turn on from a command from a smartphone, then look in the Wake-On-LAN specification. By the way, this technology will be useful if the Smart Home system is implemented in the home.

Application capabilities

It will not be superfluous to tell what the utilities that we talked about today can do. First, after pairing, an interface stylized as a conventional control panel is available. That is, we have a set of buttons for switching channels, navigation keys for adjusting the sound, and a power button. Naturally, they can all be made in a different style, form, as the developer already wanted. But here the main thing is to choose not for beauty, but for convenience and efficiency.

Touchpad

Often, applications have additional features, and many more. The first thing to note is the mouse and keyboard modes. The first, in fact, is a kind of touchpad, which is the screen of a phone or tablet. Swipe to select the options you want.

The keyboard mode allows you to search for the desired information, write messages to friends. In addition to them, developers are increasingly adding gamepad emulators to such utilities, which make the game process more convenient.

Phone screen mirroring

No less interesting is the ability to broadcast the image from the phone screen to the TV. It won't be difficult to send family photos to the big screen to enjoy viewing. You can broadcast videos, movies without bothering to download, and you can turn on music in a similar way.

On the contrary, some applications allow you to broadcast content from your TV screen to your tablet or phone. Quite a useful function with which you can watch your favorite program while in the kitchen or another room.

TV program

If you love TV shows, then you definitely need a TV program. It is not very convenient to constantly search for it on the Internet, so the developers add them directly to TV control applications. Now you will always have a list of programs at hand for the coming weeks. In addition, the system is able to determine what you like to watch the most. Is football your weakness? Please, the application will notify you about the upcoming matches. Prefer cooking shows? Get the whole list.

Almost all control utilities have a separate menu with various applications that can be launched on the TV. This may include a browser, programs for watching TV online, and any games.

Smart watch as a remote control

Finally, I would like to note the ability to control TV through a smart watch, which I mentioned just above. Among Android devices, this function is quite workable on. A watch paired with a smartphone has a minimal set of commands, but you can definitely switch the channel or add sound. This method is convenient because the smart watch is almost always at hand, more precisely, on it. In the near future, such an opportunity simply must appear on all SmartWatch.

Advantages of controlling TV from your phone

The remote control is such a thing that is constantly lost somewhere. He can fall over the pillow, small children do not bypass him. The smartphone is always at hand, and in case of loss it will not be difficult to find it - we just call the number. In this age of technology, when the phone accompanies us everywhere, it is easier to open a TV control application than to get up from the couch and go to the other side of the room for the remote control. And more recently, to change the channel, you had to go to the TV.

Not a single device is immune to breakdowns, including IR remotes. Dropped it, that's it, your modern TV becomes "uncontrollable". After all, most models today do not have any mechanical buttons other than power. And here a phone with a virtual remote control is able to help out.

Modern consoles, of course, differ from those that were introduced 15 years ago. They have become more functional, more beautiful, more convenient, endowed with additional features... And yet they are still the IR remotes that are best at changing channels. But modern TVs can not only broadcast TV programs. New models, which received Smart TV, allow you to browse the Internet, play, but this is poorly implemented on the remote control. Smartphones, which have special sensors, are another matter, and many applications for controlling a TV often receive gamepad emulators as an add-on.

The application also allows you to control many other equipment that supports remotes. Air conditioners and many other devices will become subject to your smartphone. You can even control TVs in shops and cafes, but we do not recommend that you do this.

Outcome

Technology does not stand still. The telephone, which quite recently was only a means of communication, today combines a whole range of possibilities. Internet access, cameras, thousands of games, and today you learned that a modern smartphone can be turned into a good TV remote control. We hope this article will help you understand the basics of connection, relieving you of the attachment to a traditional IR remote control.

How to control a TV from a phone: control a TV from Android or iOS, how to make a remote control from a smartphone

A bulky TV with a lamp tube and a mechanical channel switch has evolved over several decades into a compact computer that allows you not only to relay the signal, but also watch IPTV, streaming video, store files, surf the Internet, and a number of other useful options.

One of the challenges engineers are struggling with is device management. The classic remote control has a number of inconveniences: it can get lost, break, or there may be no spare batteries at home.

In such a situation, controlling the TV from the phone can solve the problem. This option can be implemented in several ways, depending on the TV model, mobile phone.

Technology is constantly evolving. If earlier an ordinary user could be surprised by switching television from an ordinary clock, now it is considered normal to use a mobile phone as a remote control.

Depending on the communication capabilities of the TV, you can control it through:

• Wi-fi or bluetooth connection. The option is available to SmartTV owners when connecting an Android set-top box to an outdated device;
• infrared port. Suitable for any TV.

Large manufacturers, trying to draw users' attention to the technology, develop their own solutions in the form of proprietary applications.

They are available in the Play Market and have a clear interface. But there are also universal solutions that allow you not to think about the TV brand, which is especially important if the user interacts with models from different manufacturers.

Management programs

The ability to control all devices in the apartment with one remote control is the desire of everyone who appreciates comfort:

• there is no need to regularly search for the remote control;
• store the remote control from household appliances on the couch;
• hide from small children, pets.

As a result, brands such as Xiaomi offer a high-tech smart home solution that connects all devices into a single ecosystem, which is controlled by an Android smartphone and tablet.

Controlling watching a movie on TV via special application

But there is also a simpler, software solution - a special application that has a convenient interface that can transmit clear commands to the TV. The most famous:

With the help of any of the programs, you can: change channels, adjust the sound, manage content, get access to all the features of the TV.

A program where management is conveniently implemented. Its installation turns an Android smartphone into a wireless functional mouse. You can not only switch channels, but also use applications installed in the memory of your Smart device.

The plugin developer is Xiaomi, known for their ability to create user-friendly software products... TV assistant is capable of:

• run programs;
• move through the menu items;
• communicate in chats, social networks;
• take screenshots from TV, saving them on the phone.

The advantage for Russian users is that the application interface is Russified. It can be installed on any smartphone labeled Xiaomi, as well as on Samsung Galaxy.

For all its advantages, users note a number of disadvantages. Functions do not always work properly, the facts of freezing, mouse freezes are periodically recorded. The problems are related both to the hardware features of a single smartphone, and to the insufficient level of software implementation of developments.

Feature of the application - it is available to users of all android versions starting with firmware 2.2, which is quite rare. The interface is available in English, which will not be a hindrance for those who speak only Russian - setup and management are intuitive, do not require reading the instructions.

It is enough at the first start to select the type of connection that will be used to control the TV: infrared Wi-fi port, connection via the IP address of the smart device.

The application is compatible with all TV models, regardless of their release year. You can download the application for free. However, sometimes pop-up ads may be shown to users.

The app is offered as free, but users will sometimes come across adware. There is no way to remove them.

The virtual remote control supports smartphones running Android 2.3 and older.

The user has access to a basic set of management tools: turning on the panel, changing channels, setting sounds. To set up, just select a compatible TV model and signal transmission type.

The program is from the paid category. There are more than 200 brands of TVs in the list of supported models. Minimum Requirements for a mobile phone - "Android4.0" and higher.

The user can not only use the standard menu, but also create his own. Available for customization:

• size, shape of buttons;
• colors of the virtual remote control of the application;
• the ability to add to a single screen control of a DVD-player, set-top box.

Synchronization of devices is carried out via Wi-Fi.

The program is the development of a South Korean brand, focused primarily on the management of models of its own production.

At the same time, settings of the remote control from other manufacturers are available, which makes it universal. If the smartphone has an IrDA port, the application is compatible with TVs without smart capabilities.

If the apartment has several TV panels, you can create several virtual remotes. The functionality of the application allows you to:

• create your own remote control, combining several household appliances in it;
• configure macros that allow you to execute commands with one click;
• enter custom infrared codes into the database;
• clone settings to others mobile phones, tablets;
• create a widget that makes it easier to access control of your TV.

The developer declares that he will refund the full cost of the application if it turns out to be incompatible with any TV model.

Pairing two devices

You can control the TV from a smartphone even if it is over 10 years old. It is enough that the smartphone is equipped with an infrared port, which is available on most Xiaomi models. The device is paired according to a single algorithm. It is necessary:

• download the application from the Play Market;
• at startup, select the brand, modification of the TV from the list;
• select the type of signal transmission.

If the model is not supported by the application, you can program the commands manually.

Features of TV control for different phone models

TV manufacturers offer their own software solutions for their devices. The proprietary application provides access to all panel features, works without glitches, and is regularly updated.

For example, an LG TV can be controlled by voice commands by shaking the smartphone. If a call comes in while browsing, the panel will stop playing content.

To continue browsing, just shake the phone slightly. The application provides for the creation of macros, with which you can create personal scripts and commands.

Controlling your TV with Sony TV Side View over Wi-fi

Sony's TV Side View works over Wi-fi, offering not only a functional remote control, but also a program guide, multimedia access.

The algorithm of the program analyzes the watched films, shows, offering a choice of similar content. There is also a rating system that allows you to conveniently select gears.

Using your phone as an infrared remote control

Wi-fi control, Bluetooth does not require any smartphone manipulation. You can change channels while in another room.

The use of an IR sensor does not provide such mobility, requiring a line of sight to the TV screen, under which the infrared sensor is located. Control is possible at a distance of up to 5 meters. The range depends on the quality of the sensors installed in the TV and mobile phone.

Using a smartphone as a remote application is an opportunity to get rid of many remote controls. It is always at hand and does not require changing batteries.

Samsung Smart View... Televisions with Smart TV function have become extremely popular among users today. This is not surprising, because they have a huge number of possibilities, one of which is to control the TV via a smartphone, as well as use files stored on a Windows PC, tablet or any other portable device.
