How to control Sony Bravia TV from your phone

Sony Bravia TVs come in two flavors. Newer ones run Google TV or Android TV and pair with a code. Some older ones use Sony's network control, which you switch on in the menu.

Designed for

Zorvo is designed to control these TVs over Wi-Fi. Testing on real TVs is still in progress, so compatibility varies by model and software version.

Before you start

  • Turn the TV on. A TV in standby often cannot be found.
  • Connect your phone and the TV to the same Wi-Fi network (not a guest network, not a VPN).
  • Install Zorvo from Google Play and allow the nearby devices or local network permission when it asks.

Step 1: turn on phone control on the TV

  1. Connect the TV to the same Wi-Fi as your phone.
  2. If your Bravia runs Google TV or Android TV: nothing to switch on. The TV shows a code when you pair.
  3. If it does not: open Settings > Network > Home network setup > IP control and set Authentication to Normal and Pre-Shared Key. Choose a key and keep it for Zorvo.Menu names may differ by TV model and software version.
  4. Optional for waking the TV: turn on the Remote start or Simple IP control options if your menu has them.Menu names may differ by TV model and software version.

Step 2: pair Zorvo with the TV

  1. Open Zorvo and pick your Sony TV.
  2. Google TV or Android TV model: type the code shown on the TV into Zorvo.
  3. Older Bravia with a key: type the Pre-Shared Key you chose.
  4. Tap Volume up to test.
