Xiaomi TV remote not working or not found
Xiaomi TV phone remotes usually fail because the code expired, the TV is on another network, or a power saving feature put the TV to sleep.
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.
Likely causes, most common first
The pairing code did not work
Close the code window on the TV, start again, and type the new code.
How to fix it
- Open pairing in Zorvo again.
- Type the new code.
- Update Android TV Remote Service on the TV if needed.
Different network
Same Wi-Fi, no VPN, no guest network.
The TV is asleep
Wake it with its own button and tap Retry in Zorvo.
Phone power saving ends the link
Some Xiaomi phones aggressively stop background apps. Allow Zorvo to run without battery restrictions if the link keeps dropping.
Menu names may differ by TV model and software version.Checks for every TV
- Phone and TV on the same Wi-Fi network. Guest networks and some mesh or extender setups separate devices.
- Phone VPN or private DNS turned off while pairing.
- Phone has not switched to mobile data. Some Wi-Fi networks without internet make Android leave them: choose Stay connected when asked.
- Local network or nearby devices permission is allowed for Zorvo in Android settings.
- As a last step, add the TV by its IP address in Zorvo (the IP is usually in the TV's network settings).
