How connecting works
Over your own Wi-Fi
Rimokon talks to the TV over your home network, so the phone and the TV need to be on the same Wi-Fi. Guest networks often keep devices from seeing each other.
Pair once
Depending on the TV you type a code it shows, enter a PIN, or choose Allow on the TV. The TV remembers it, so you only do this once.
For the whole household
Everyone you invite to your household gets the same TVs and pairings on their own phone.
