Looking for a reboot app

by Leasing_Pandas

Hi, I am looking for a no thrills reboot app. So my kids and wife know what todo when Netflix, Youtube or the TV app is unresponsive. I have to restart the TV almost weekly, navigating to it is cumbersome with just a remote.

I have a recent Philips model, can't make out whta version it's running but it's up-to-date. The "keep the powerbutton pressed" isn't working for Philips it seems.

I have looked into this;

  • The developer tools commands aren't going to work, to complex for them.
  • The Nexus app with reboot option is no longer in the appstore.
  • Got the Power menu mapped on the record button with Button Mapper, but the menu doesn't work.
  • Google Home app has routines, but not for this specific function.
  • I saw some apps that only work on a rooted TV, I want to avoid that.
  • There is a scheduler app, but I don't want it scheduled.

Why isn't there an app for this?

On my Sony A80J I just hold the power button for a few seconds and it reboots. You don't say what brand of TV you have, but it's worth a try.
