Works with Philips

Your Philips remote, on your iPhone.

Lost your Philips remote? LazyBinger turns your iPhone into a full remote for your Philips TV running Smart TV — auto-detected on your Wi-Fi, with zero setup.

Your Philips remote, on your iPhone.

Everything your iPhone drives on your Philips

  • Power, navigate and set the volume on your Philips — from your bed.
  • Full D-pad, play/pause and a keyboard for typing into search.
  • Eleven one-tap apps: Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube…
  • Premium: voice magic words (“sleepy time”) and camera intro auto-skip.

Which Philips TVs work with it?

LazyBinger finds Philips TVs running Smart TV automatically on your Wi-Fi. It's used across Philips's line-up, including:

  • OLED+ Ambilight
  • The One
  • Ambilight LED

No model number to look up — if your Philips is on the same Wi-Fi, it usually just shows up.

Connect your Philips in 30 seconds

Open LazyBinger: your Philips shows up on Wi-Fi by itself. One tap and it's paired.

After that everything runs over your local network — no account, no cloud. Wake-on-LAN even powers your Philips back on from across the room in the morning.

Philips not showing up? Quick fixes

  • Put your iPhone and your Philips on the same Wi-Fi network — not a separate guest or “IoT” network. That's the number-one reason a TV won't appear.
  • Wake the Philips and leave it on its home screen while LazyBinger scans. A TV in deep standby can stay invisible until it's powered on once.
  • If your router has “AP isolation” / “client isolation” on, or splits 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, turn isolation off so your iPhone can reach the Philips.
