In order to operate your Smart TV from SURE Universal remote, Sleep mode needs to be configured to avoid hibernation, otherwise the remote might not be able to turn them back on. This is done slightly differently in each brand. Here are the instructions on how to configure sleep mode in some common TV brands:
Home → Settings → Power → Eco → Idle TV Standby – Off
Settings → More → System → Eco Solution → Auto Power Off – Off
Settings → Powerkey definition → Sleep now
Note: The first time you try to turn your Android TV off, the app will advise you to set it to Standby or power saving mode through settings. This message will not show up again after you press OK or Cancel.
Note: Language will be set automatically based on your Locale settings. The instructions below relate to cases where you wish to change the language settings on your device to be different from the automatic settings.
You can personalize SURE app in the Settings menu. You may change the Theme, and turn On/Off Custom Panel, Widget on notification bar, button sound effect, button vibration effect and more. In addition, you can reset to the default SURE settings.
In order for the mobile device to communicate your Android TV Set-Top-Box, you would need to pair them. Follow the instructions below to have your mobile device and the Android TV STB communicate with each other.
You can use SURE mobile app to control your Smart TV via WiFi. If your TV set does not have Smart TV capabilities, please proceed to section 3.3.2. Some Smart TV brands, such as: Sony, Toshiba, Skyworth and others, run Android TV operating system, hence we refer to them as Android TV. Other brands, such as: Samsung and LG, run different OS, and therefore is this guide they are referred to as Non-Android TV. When adding Smart TV to SURE mobile app, for Android TV devices, please select the option Android TV, regardless of the Smart TV brand. For Non-Android TV sets, select the brand of choice from the list, e.g. Samsung, LG, etc, and the application will find it. Make sure that the TV and your smartphone are connected to the same WiFi network. If you are not sure whether your Smart TV runs Android TV or a different OS, you can simply select your brand from the list and your TV should show up. Once added, each TV remote may introduce different features based on the manufacturer's choice. You can see below examples of Android TV remote and Samsung remote as Non-Android TV. Swipe to the left to explore all the features that SURE remote enables on your Smart TV.
Some mobile devices, such as Xiaomi and Huawei devices, have IR blaster installed, while other brands, such as iPhone and Motorola devices, have removed it. If your phone has IR blaster installed, you may skip the next section and go directly to the relevant appliances you wish to add via IR. For phones without IR blaster, a WiFi-to-IR converter is needed to have full functionality with the app. To find out whether your phone has IR blaster, you can check here. Alternatively, you can try adding devices via Traditional Remote (IR) and see if the application allows it. To do so:
If your mobile device does not have IR blaster, or you are not sure, please see 4.3.1. If your device has IR blaster installed, or you already set up a WiFi-to-IR converter, you may proceed and add IR-controlled devices.
