Works with Roku players · TCL · Hisense · Onn · Sharp Roku TVs
Roku is the friendliest platform there is for phone remotes: no pairing, no PIN, no prompt. Remote Pro finds your Roku on the network and controls it instantly — including volume and power on Roku TVs.
What you get
Roku devices accept local control out of the box. Scan, tap, control — you’re pressing buttons within seconds of opening the app.
On Roku televisions (TCL, Hisense, Onn, Sharp, Westinghouse) Remote Pro controls volume, mute, power and even channels — because the TV itself is the Roku.
Roku search with a D-pad is alphabet soup. Type from your iPhone keyboard straight into Roku search and sign-in fields.
Roku’s local control API is fast and reliable — presses land immediately, over your own WiFi, no cloud round-trip.
Setup
Put the iPhone on the same WiFi network as the Roku.
Open Remote Pro and tap Scan — every Roku on the network appears.
Tap yours. That’s the whole setup — Roku needs no pairing approval.
The honest part
A Roku Streaming Stick or Ultra sends its picture to a television — the volume lives in that TV, so no network command can change it (the physical remote does it over infrared/CEC). On Roku TVs, where the Roku IS the television, volume and power work perfectly. Remote Pro detects which type you have and shows the right buttons.
Some Rokus have “Control by mobile apps” set to disabled. On the Roku go to Settings → System → Advanced system settings → Control by mobile apps → Network access → Default. Remote Pro detects this case and shows you the exact path.
The official Roku app is free and includes a remote plus extras like private listening. It wants a Roku account for some features and is a bigger app doing many jobs. Remote Pro opens straight onto the remote and also covers Samsung, Fire TV and Android TV — one app for the whole house.
