Setup
Connect your Fire TV

- Open Remutto. It finds the Fire TV on your network by itself; tap it.
- The Fire TV shows a code on the screen. Type it into Remutto. You only do this once.
- If the buttons do nothing, turn on Settings → My Fire TV → Developer options → ADB debugging and allow Remutto when the TV asks. No Developer options? Open Settings → My Fire TV → About and select the device name 7 times.
Menu names can differ by model, software version and language.

FAQ
Questions about Fire TV
Is there a Fire TV remote app without an Amazon account?
Yes. Remutto needs no account and no Amazon sign-in. Put your phone on the same Wi-Fi as the Fire TV and type the code it shows once.
Lost the Fire TV remote: can I use my phone instead?
Yes, as long as the Fire TV is already connected to your Wi-Fi. For the first connection you only type the code shown on the TV into Remutto. If your Fire TV also needs ADB debugging, you have to move through its menus once; without any remote that is hard, so use a replacement remote or your TV remote over HDMI-CEC for that one step.
Can my phone turn the Fire TV on?
Not reliably. A Fire TV in sleep mode can only be woken while it is still reachable on your network. When the Fire TV wakes up, HDMI-CEC usually switches the TV on as well.
Does it work with every Fire TV Stick?
Remutto is built for Fire TV devices with Fire OS on the same Wi-Fi: Fire TV Sticks, Fire TV Cube and Fire TV smart TVs. The newest Fire TV models with Vega OS have not been tested yet.
Remutto says connected, but the Fire TV ignores the buttons. What now?
Turn on Settings → My Fire TV → Developer options → ADB debugging and allow Remutto when the Fire TV asks, then connect again.
Does Remutto send my commands over the internet?
No. Commands go straight from your phone to the Fire TV over your local network. There is no account and no cloud.
Honest limits
What Remutto cannot do
Remutto controls TVs over your home network. It cannot send infrared, so TVs without a network connection are not supported. Features depend on the TV model and its software. Remutto is not affiliated with Amazon.
Private by design
Commands go straight from your phone to the TV over your local network. No account, no cloud, no Bumblly server in between.
