The most reliable way to use your phone as a remote for a Google TV device (like those built into TCL or Sony TVs, or a Chromecast with Google TV) is by using the Google TV app.

This method works for both Android phones and iPhones/iPads.
Here is the step-by-step process:

Prerequisites
Same Wi-Fi Network: Your phone and your Google TV device (the TV or streaming stick) must be connected to the exact same Wi-Fi network.

Google TV App: You need to have the Google TV app installed on your smartphone (available on the Google Play Store for Android and the App Store for iOS).

Steps to Connect and Use Your Phone as a Remote
1. Open the Google TV App on Your Phone

Launch the Google TV app on your phone.

2. Access the Virtual Remote

Look for the Remote icon, usually located near the bottom right of the screen. Tap it.

Note: On some older versions or devices, this might be labeled Connect TV or show a number of "TVs nearby."

3. Select Your TV/Device

The app will scan your network and show a list of nearby Google TV or Android TV devices.

Tap the name of your TCL, Sony, or Chromecast with Google TV device.

4. Pair the Devices

A 6-digit pairing code will appear on your TV screen.
Enter this code into the prompt that appears on your phone.
Tap Pair.

5. Start Controlling Your TV

Once paired, your phone screen will transform into a virtual remote with several functions:

Navigation: Use the large touchpad area to swipe up, down, left, and right, and tap to select. You can often switch to a traditional D-pad (directional pad) view by tapping the three-dot menu on the remote screen.

Keyboard: When your TV needs text input (for searches, passwords, or usernames), your phone's keyboard will automatically open for easy typing.

Voice Search: Tap the Google Assistant button (microphone icon) to use your phone's microphone for voice commands and searches on your TV.

Other Controls: You will also have dedicated buttons for Power On/Off, Volume, Back, Home, and Mute.
