I have two ONN android TV boxes one connected to WIFI and the other one connected via LAN w/an adaptor. The google tv app (TV Remote) on my phone does not see either of them but it does see my shield PRO. Do I need to enable something on the ONN devices or is there a way to manually add devices in the google tv app on my phone ?
Found the issue. Apparently checking for a system update does not update the Android TV Remote Service. Went to the play store and searched for Android TV Remote Service and there wan an update. Installed update and now the Google TV app on phone is detecting the ONN deice I updated.....
Just tested it out on mine and it worked fine. I have one Box over Wi-Fi. Are you sure both phone and box are on the same Wi-Fi??
Try clearing the data of the Google app and rebooting. Then hit the voice button to trigger setup again.
Phone and all three Android TV devices are all on the same subnet/broadcast domain. Google home detects them as cast only devices.
I did Found a third party app called Android TV remote. This app detects all three Android tv devices and seems to work with the two ONN devices with no issues so far. I think I will spend the $5 to unlock the full version since it does not seem to be the ONN devices or my phone but some issue with the specific Google apps on my phone........
It's automatic, does the Google Home app see them?
You need Android TV Remote Service: Play Store Link
Install that on your Onn device, then your phone should see it.
