sRemote turns your iPhone into a remote control for Samsung Smart TVs, connecting directly over your home Wi-Fi network — no account, no cloud service required.
Make sure your iPhone and TV are on the same Wi-Fi network. You can find your TV's IP address under TV Settings → General → Network → Network Status. Also check that iOS's Local Network permission was allowed for sRemote (Settings → sRemote → Local Network, on your iPhone).
This is normal and only happens once per TV. The first time you connect, your TV shows an on-screen prompt asking whether to allow the connection. Select Allow on the TV itself using its own remote — sRemote can't accept this prompt for you.
Turning a TV on remotely (Wake-on-LAN) needs the TV's MAC address entered for that device in sRemote, plus Power On with Mobile (and, on some models, IP Remote) turned on in the TV's own network settings. Even with both enabled, some models don't support waking over Wi-Fi reliably.
Direct HDMI input switching uses an undocumented Samsung feature that behaves inconsistently across models and firmware versions — on some TVs it may simply do nothing. It's off by default for this reason; if it doesn't work on your TV, switch inputs from the TV's own source menu instead.
Direct channel entry uses the standard remote-control number-key commands and should work on most models, but hasn't been verified on every Samsung TV. If it doesn't respond, try changing channels with the up/down channel buttons instead.
Go to Settings → Manage TVs inside sRemote to add, edit, remove, or switch between remembered TVs.
sRemote includes a 7-day free trial; after that, a one-time purchase unlocks full access (no subscription). If you reinstall the app or switch devices, use the Restore Purchases button on the paywall screen to recover your purchase.
