Remotes

My mother has dementia and can’t remember how to use her remote. Is there a way that I can pair my phone to her Roku tv so I can turn on her tv from a distance? Any suggestions are appreciated. Dark days

Welcome and thank you for posting here in the Roku Community, @Alexa1003!

We appreciate you reaching out for support. We're here to provide further information about this.

At this moment, this feature is not yet available as the Roku mobile app needs to be paired to the same network as your Roku devices. No worries! We would be more than happy to share this with the team as this makes the Roku streaming platform even better.

What I am currently doing for my dad with dementia is that I have a channel from “Roku live” playing in his room and it runs 24/7. So no need to find something new or change the channel. Then I just took the batteries out of his remote so he can hold it but can’t do anything to the TV.
