Wake-on-LAN
Power on your TV remotely using Wake-on-LAN technology. Your TV receives the wake signal over WiFi and powers on from standby — even if the screen is off. Walk into the room with your TV already on.
Power Control — Turn Your TV On & Off from Your Phone
Turn your Smart TV on and off remotely from your iPhone. Universal Remote uses Wake-on-LAN (WoL) technology to power on your TV over WiFi — even when it's in standby mode. Power up your Samsung, LG, Vizio, or Android TV before you walk into the room. Turn it off when you're done without reaching for any remote.

Why You'll Love Power Control
Power Off Remotely
Turn off your TV from your phone when you're done watching. Works from anywhere on your WiFi network — turn off the TV from your bedroom or kitchen.
No Line of Sight
Unlike IR remotes that need to point at the TV, WiFi-based power control works from anywhere in your home. Through walls, from another room, from upstairs — it just works.
Confirmation Dialog
A confirmation dialog prevents accidental power-offs. You won't accidentally turn off the TV during a movie — the app asks 'Turn Off?' before sending the command.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Power Control in Universal TV Remote +.
Yes! Universal Remote uses Wake-on-LAN to power on your TV from standby. This works with Samsung, LG, Vizio, Hisense, and most Smart TVs that support WoL. Enable 'Wake-on-LAN' or 'Power On with Mobile' in your TV's network settings.
Wake-on-LAN works when your TV is in standby mode (soft off). If your TV is completely powered off at the wall switch, WoL won't work — the TV needs to be in standby to receive the wake signal.
Most modern Smart TVs support Wake-on-LAN including Samsung, LG, Vizio, Hisense, Sony, Panasonic, and Android TV devices. Check your TV's network settings for a 'Wake-on-LAN' or 'Power On with Mobile' option.
No. Universal Remote shows a confirmation dialog ('Turn Off?') before sending the power-off command. You need to explicitly confirm before the TV turns off.
