Yes. Simple TV Remote works with Google TVs that run Google TV. The platform depends on the model and the country, so check your exact model number. The free check in the app confirms it on your TV before you pay $5.99, once. Is there a remote app for Google TV Streamer and Chromecast? Yes. Google's own Google TV app works as a remote on iPhone, and the Google Home app has an Open remote button. Simple TV Remote also controls Chromecast with Google TV and Google TV Streamer: type the code the TV shows once, and you're set. How do I pair a Chromecast or Google TV Streamer remote? Restart the streamer by unplugging it for a few seconds. When the TV shows a pairing screen, press and hold Back and Home on the remote for 3 seconds until the light pulses. If you can reach Settings, go to Remotes & Accessories, Forget the old remote, and pair again. How do I reset a Google TV Voice Remote? On a Chromecast with Google TV remote, take out both batteries, wait 5 minutes, then hold Home while you put them back; let go when the light starts to pulse. On a Google TV Streamer remote, hold Mute and the center button together until the light turns solid white. How do I find a lost Google TV Streamer remote? Briefly press the button on the back of the Google TV Streamer, and a paired remote plays a sound for 30 seconds. Don't hold the button, because that starts something else. You can also start it from the Google Home app: your TV's settings > Find my remote > Play sound. Does Chromecast have a remote? Chromecast with Google TV and Google TV Streamer come with a Voice Remote. The older round Chromecasts and Chromecast Ultra have no remote and no home screen; they only receive casts, so no remote app can control them. Can my iPhone turn on the TV through the streamer? Yes, if the streamer is powered from a wall outlet and HDMI-CEC is on in the TV's settings. If the streamer is powered from the TV's USB port, it switches off with the TV and can't be woken. Many TVs give CEC a brand name, such as Anynet+ on Samsung or SIMPLINK on LG. Why does my Google TV remote control menus but not the TV volume? Volume and power use infrared to talk to the TV. Go to Settings > Remotes & Accessories > Set up remote buttons and set up your TV again. Our Google TV guide at /tv-remote-not-working/google/ has the rest of the fixes. Where do I find my streamer’s model number? It's printed on the streamer next to the FCC ID, for example "Model GZRNL". On screen, Settings > System > About shows the device name and Android TV OS version. Do I need Wi-Fi to use my iPhone as a Google TV Streamer remote? Yes. Your iPhone and the TV must be on the same home network, and the TV must already be connected to it. Guest networks often stop devices from seeing each other, and a phone app can't help with a TV that has never been online. How do I know which platform my Google TV runs? Look at the home screen or the settings menu, which name the platform. Or type your model number into the checker on this page. Will it work with any TV if I use a Google streamer? The app controls the streamer, so menus, apps and typing work on any TV it is plugged into. Turning the TV on and off and changing its volume depend on the TV supporting HDMI-CEC. ## About Google smart TVs Google makes Google TV software and sells streamers, not TVs. Chromecast with Google TV (4K) came out in 2020, a cheaper HD model followed in 2022, and Google TV Streamer replaced both in 2024. These streamers run Android TV OS with the Google TV home screen, so they include Android TV Remote Service. Simple TV Remote pairs with the streamer, not with the TV it is plugged into. Power and volume reach the TV through HDMI-CEC. With CEC turned on, waking the streamer can also turn the TV on and switch it to the right input. Older Chromecasts without Google TV (the round 1st to 3rd generation models and Chromecast Ultra) only receive casts. They have no on-screen home screen and no remote service, so they can't be controlled by a remote app. ## Other brands [Bush →](https://simpletvremote.com/bush/)[Element →](https://simpletvremote.com/element/)[Hisense →](https://simpletvremote.com/hisense/)[Hitachi →](https://simpletvremote.com/hitachi/)[Insignia →](https://simpletvremote.com/insignia/)[JVC →](https://simpletvremote.com/jvc/)[LG →](https://simpletvremote.com/lg/)[Nokia →](https://simpletvremote.com/nokia/)[NVIDIA →](https://simpletvremote.com/nvidia/)[onn. →](https://simpletvremote.com/onn/)[Panasonic →](https://simpletvremote.com/panasonic/)[Philips →](https://simpletvremote.com/philips/)[Samsung →](https://simpletvremote.com/samsung/)[Sharp →](https://simpletvremote.com/sharp/)[Sony →](https://simpletvremote.com/sony/)[TCL →](https://simpletvremote.com/tcl/)[Toshiba →](https://simpletvremote.com/toshiba/)[Vizio →](https://simpletvremote.com/vizio/)[Westinghouse →](https://simpletvremote.com/westinghouse/)[Xiaomi →](https://simpletvremote.com/xiaomi/) ## Sources Every compatibility fact on this page comes from these sources.
