Supported device families

Compatibility may include selected models from Samsung, LG, Sony, Vizio, Roku, Android TV, Google TV, Apple TV and other Smart TV families.

On Android, support may additionally include selected air conditioners, set-top boxes, projectors, A/V receivers, DVD players, fans, cameras and other IR-controlled devices. Selected Fire TV devices may also be available on Android depending on the protocol path.

What can differ between televisions?

One model may support power, volume, channels and navigation, while another may support only a subset of those controls. Keyboard input, app launching, input switching and power-on commonly vary between television generations.

Before purchasing premium, connect your television and test available controls whenever the app provides a compatibility test. A brand appearing on this page does not mean every model from that brand is supported.
