Before You Start

• Your TV must be a supported Android TV, Google TV or Chromecast device.

Check supported devices if you are unsure about compatibility.

What If the TV Is Not Found?

Discovery depends on local Wi-Fi. Disable VPN, avoid guest networks, and make sure your iPhone and TV are on the same network. Use the TV not found troubleshooting guide for a full checklist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the app turn on a TV that is fully off?

Some TVs remain reachable in standby, but others disconnect from Wi-Fi when powered off. If wake does not work, use the TV's physical power button once, then connect from the app.

Does this work with non-smart TVs?

No. This method depends on Wi-Fi network control. Non-smart TVs usually require infrared control, and iPhones do not include IR transmitters.

Does this support every smart TV brand?

No. AnyTV Controller supports the Android TV, Google TV and Chromecast device families listed in the supported catalog.
