How to pair voice/mic philips rc to philips oled706

by thebartez

I own 706 oled, bought another philips remote control that looks similar but has full functionality (YKF474-B001). The trick is to spawn accessory pairing interface that has been stripped from settings in this tv model.

I was able to use tvQuickActions to program whatever button you choose to spawn that pairing screen. As an action use APP -> Settings (hold ok for couple of seconds to choose activity) -> AddAccessoryActivity (com.android.tv.settings.accessories.AddAccessoryActivity).

After finishing the pairing process everything started to work (voice search, google assistant, etc.).

One thing though, while pairing process, after it will initially pair, i had to 'connect' one more time to PHRCL using other remote.

Enjoy!

Dude you're amazing! I have no idea why philips removed this feature... probably only to make people buy the 806 model instead...

Does this still work smoothly for you? I'm tempted to do the same.
