Setup
Connect your LG TV
- Turn on the LG TV and connect your phone to the same Wi-Fi.
- Open Remutto. It finds the TV on your network by itself; tap it.
- The TV shows a connection request. Accept it with the TV remote or a USB mouse plugged into the TV. Some models show a code instead: type it into Remutto. You only do this once.
- To switch the TV on from your phone later, turn on Settings → General → Mobile TV On (older models: LG Connect Apps).
Menu names can differ by model, software version and language.

FAQ
Questions about LG
Is there an LG TV remote app without an account?
Yes. Remutto needs no account and no LG sign-in. Put your phone on the same Wi-Fi as the TV, accept the connection request once, and you can start the free try.
Lost the LG remote: can I turn the TV on with my phone?
Only when the TV allows it. With Mobile TV On turned on (on newer models: TV On With Mobile), many LG webOS TVs can be woken over the network while they are in standby. If the TV is fully off or the setting is off, press the power button on the TV itself (often a small button under the LG logo); after that Remutto can control it.
Does it work with older LG TVs?
Remutto works with LG smart TVs on webOS (2014 and later) on the same Wi-Fi. Older LG smart TVs with NetCast are not supported, and neither are TVs with infrared only, because a phone app cannot send infrared.
I lost the Magic Remote. How do I accept the connection request?
Plug a USB mouse into the TV and click Accept on the screen. Some LG TVs show a code instead of a request; then you only type that code into Remutto.
The buttons stopped working after a TV update. What now?
In Remutto choose Forget this TV / pair again and accept the new connection request on the TV.
Does Remutto send my commands over the internet?
No. Commands go straight from your phone to the 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 LG Electronics.
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.
