How to control Xiaomi TV from your phone

Most Xiaomi and Mi TVs and the Mi TV Stick and Box run Android TV or Google TV, so they pair with a code. This guide covers those.

Depends on the TV system

Zorvo is designed for this brand's models that run Google TV, Android TV or Roku TV. Testing on real TVs is still in progress, and other systems are not supported yet.

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. Turn the TV on and connect it to the same Wi-Fi as your phone.
  2. Nothing needs switching on in the TV menu. A pairing code appears when Zorvo asks to pair.
  3. Zorvo works over Wi-Fi only. IR is not supported in this version, even if your phone has an IR emitter.Menu names may differ by TV model and software version.

Step 2: pair Zorvo with the TV

  1. Open Zorvo and pick the Xiaomi TV in the list.
  2. The TV shows a code of six characters: digits and letters A to F.
  3. Type the code into Zorvo.
  4. Tap Volume up to test.
