Remote for Smart Samsung TV is a free application designed to transform your mobile device into a controller for compatible Samsung Smart TVs. It serves as an alternative to a traditional physical remote, enabling users to manage essential television functions such as power, volume, and channel navigation. The app is compatible with mainstream Samsung Smart TV series, including 7 series, 6 series, Curved TV, and K-Series (2016+) Tizen models. For the app to function, both your mobile device and the Samsung TV must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Connecting to Your Television
The app automatically detects your Samsung SmartThings TV when both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. The connection process involves opening the app, tapping the device button located in the top right corner, and then selecting your desired TV from the displayed list. This simple workflow establishes the connection, allowing control to commence. A key operational requirement is that the app and the television must remain on the same Wi-Fi network for continuous functionality.
Enhanced Control Features
Beyond basic remote capabilities, the app offers several functionalities for managing your TV experience. Users can power the television on or off, adjust the volume, change channels, and switch between navigation modes. A built-in keyboard feature simplifies text input and search operations directly on your Samsung Smart View TV. Additionally, the app provides quick access to your preferred channels and installed applications on the television with just a few taps.
Media Sharing and Screen Mirroring
The app extends its utility by supporting media sharing and screen mirroring features. It allows users to mirror their phone or tablet screen directly to the connected Smart TV, displaying content in high resolution. Furthermore, the app facilitates casting of local photos and videos stored on your device, as well as web videos, to your Samsung SmartThings TV.
Supported TV Models
The Remote for Smart Samsung TV app is designed to work with a range of popular Samsung Smart TV models. This includes the Samsung 7 series TV, Samsung 6 series TV, Samsung Curved TV, and Samsung Tizen models from the K-Series (2016 onwards). Recent updates have also expanded support to include new Tizen TV models, broadening its compatibility.
