ADD BY SEARCH, NO IP TYPING

Tap Find devices and the app looks for compatible TVs and devices on your Wi-Fi network. The ones already in the app are highlighted, with a trash button to remove them; new ones appear in their own section, ready to add. Switch devices from the selector in the top bar.

HOW TO USE

1. For SKY or an infrared TV: open the app, pick your receiver and TV models and point your phone.

2. For Wi-Fi: turn the device on, connect it to the same Wi-Fi as your phone, open the app and tap Find devices.

3. On first connection some TVs ask you to allow it on screen.

Phones without infrared can still use the app with Wi-Fi TVs and devices.

GOOD TO KNOW

• Over Wi-Fi, commands go from your phone straight to the device over your local network

• The app shows the last command sent; it does not read the device state back

• Compatibility may vary by model and software version. TVs running Google TV or Android TV are not controlled over Wi-Fi yet

• An ad-free version is available in Settings > Remove ads
