Turning your phone into a universal remote is a practical way to manage multiple devices or replace a lost physical remote. Depending on your phone and TV type, you can use built-in features, official manufacturer apps, or third-party universal software. 📺 How it Works
Open the Google TV app, tap "Connect TV," and enter the pairing code shown on your screen.
Requires an IR Blaster (infrared transmitter) in your phone. If your phone doesn't have one, you can buy small IR adapters that plug into your phone's charging port. 🛠️ Setup Steps by Device Type For Smart TVs
Control your Samsung TV or projector with your phone using SmartThings
Both your phone and TV must be on the same Wi-Fi network. The phone communicates with the TV over your local connection.
The method you use depends on whether your devices are "Smart" (connected to Wi-Fi) or "Non-Smart" (use infrared).
