Your television remote control no longer works? No button governs your requests? You certainly never thought about it and yet today it is possible to turn an iPhone into a remote control for television. Here's a quick and easy way to set up the TV app for iOS..

I lost my remote control, what should I do?

It's news time and the horror, your TV remote control is nowhere to be found. No need to panic, however. What once seemed science fiction is now becoming a reality.

When we think of a smartphone, we think of social networks, messaging, the camera but rarely of a remote control. And yet, this multifunction tool continues to expand. It has become the essential object par excellence of our daily life..

Thanks to a simple iOS application, iPhone users can now control their connected television (Smart TV) from their sofa. The only requirement is that your TV screen must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone.

The smartphone can do almost everything. Whether it is security systems with cameras, connected thermostats, the telephone has become the cornerstone of the connected home. The multimedia screen in the living room is no exception to the rule. See here for a method to connect a Mac to a TV..

No need for a remote control to control your TV, DVD or sound bar. The AnyMote universal remote control app for iPhone and iPad offers the ability to control a variety of connected devices through a user-friendly interface.

Setting up the AnyMote app for iOS

Before you start, you should know that the AnyMote application supports most major brands of televisions (Samsung, LG, Sony, Panasonic, Philipps, Sharp etc.). You don't need any external device to control them. They just need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your phone.

The AnyMote application is free but has a Pro mode at 7.99 euros to access premium features. It is also possible to configure macros to automate tasks.

  • Download AnyMote from the App Store
  • Launch the app on your iPhone or iPad
  • Select the Control my Wi-Fi devices button at the bottom right of the window
  • Select your television from the list
  • AnyMote will attempt to locate your TV on your Wi-Fi network

The application will display the interface of a virtual remote control. The sound of the television can be controlled directly from the volume buttons of the iPhone. But the big advantage of the AnyMote application is to be able to control all of its devices from a single interface.

Be aware that most TV manufacturers like Samsung, Sony or LG have their own remote control app. These more or less intuitive tools allow you to control a TV without however offering as many features and customization possibilities.

More than just a TV remote control app, the AnyMote app lets you control most connected devices in your home. Another important detail, the voice control system offers the possibility of executing commands as is done with a personal assistant such as Alexa.
