FAQ
Questions about Roku
Is there a Roku remote app without an account?
Yes. Remutto needs no account and no Roku sign-in, and Roku needs no pairing code. Put your phone on the same Wi-Fi as the Roku and open the app.
Lost the Roku remote: can I control my Roku with my phone?
Yes, as long as the Roku is already connected to your Wi-Fi. Remutto finds it. You can try the whole remote free for 3 minutes, then use 5 free basic presses a day; Pro unlocks everything. A brand-new Roku that is not on Wi-Fi yet needs a remote (or a network cable) for the first setup.
Can I turn my Roku TV on with my phone?
Usually yes on a Roku TV with Fast TV start turned on (Settings → System → Power). Roku streaming sticks and boxes do not really switch off; whether they switch your TV on depends on HDMI-CEC on your TV.
The buttons on my Roku do nothing. What now?
Since Roku OS 14.1 control by mobile apps can be limited. On the Roku open Settings → System → Advanced system settings → Control by mobile apps and allow control from your network, then try again.
Does it work with Roku Express, Streaming Stick and Roku TVs?
Yes. Remutto works with Roku players and Roku TVs on the same Wi-Fi. Roku has no touchpad over Wi-Fi, so on Roku you use the arrows instead.
Does Remutto send my commands over the internet?
No. Commands go straight from your phone to the Roku 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 Roku, Inc..
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.
