How to Turn Off TV using Phone & Google TV App (Best Method)
1The "best method" to turn off your TV using your phone and the Google TV app relies on the app's built-in virtual remote control, which communicates with your Google TV or Chromecast device.
Key Requirement: HDMI-CEC
For your phone to turn off the actual TV (not just the Google TV device), your TV must have HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) enabled. This is the technology that allows one device (like the Chromecast) to send power and volume commands to the TV through the HDMI cable.
Here is the step-by-step process:
Method 1: Using the Virtual Remote in the Google TV App (Best)
This is the most direct way to control the power.
Open the Google TV App on your phone (available on Android and iOS).
Access the Remote: Tap the Remote (📱 or similar icon) button, usually located in the bottom-right corner of the app.
Connect to Your TV: If you are not already connected, tap Scanning for devices at the top and select your Google TV/Chromecast device. A pairing code may appear on your TV screen that you must enter on your phone.
Use the Power Button: Once the virtual remote interface appears on your phone, tap the Power (⏻) icon, which is typically found near the top-right corner of the remote interface.
This button sends a power-off command to your Google TV device, which then relays the command to the TV via HDMI-CEC, turning off both devices.
