    All Roku WiFi Direct remotes, such as the separately sold Voice Remote, Enhanced Voice Remote, and Voice Remote Pro, will work with Roku TVs.

    The Roku Express 4k+ comes with the Voice Remote, and will work with a Roku TV. However, as Tivoburkee pointed out, while you can pair multiple remotes to a single Roku, each remote can only go with one Roku. So, if you paired the Express 4K+ remote with the Roku TV, you would not be able to control the Express 4K+ with it. As mentioned, the remotes are sold separately and you can always get one of those. I have a Voice Remote controlling my Roku TV because I like the remote better.

    You can plug in a roku like the express 4k+ to roku tv, and you can even set the roku tv to turn and go directly to the express 4k+ home screen instead of the roku tv's. Of course the expresses home screen won't have any input tiles like the roku tv's home screen. Set each to different wallpaper and turn off the season wallpaper in the settings menu of each roku so they won;t both change to the same looking wallpaper on their own.

      If you're worried about the remote conflicts there won't be any, stand alone roku's like the express 4k+ use a completely  different IR code set then Roku tv's. Your express 4k+ comes with wifi remote, wifi remotes can only be paired to one roku at a time.
