Roku-specific questions
Does Remofy work with both Roku players and Roku TVs?
Yes. Remofy uses Roku's ECP protocol over Wi-Fi, which works with Roku streaming players and Roku TVs (TCL, Hisense, Sharp, onn. and others).
Why is my Roku not found?
Confirm the phone and Roku are on the same Wi-Fi network and that "Control by mobile apps" is set to Enabled (not Limited or Disabled) under Settings → System → Advanced system settings on the Roku.
Can I use a Roku remote online in my browser?
No. A web page can't reach devices on your home network, so browser remotes for Roku don't work. The closest option is a free phone app on the same Wi-Fi as your Roku, like Remofy. It needs no account and no subscription.
