Adjusting external device connections
You can choose the level of control you want to allow your TV to accept from
external devices, such as smart phones, tablets, and virtual assistants. Device connect
settings enable other devices, including the Roku Mobile App, to control your TV over
the local area network in your home.
To adjust the level of external control access:
1.
From the Home screen menu, navigate to
Settings > System > Advanced system
settings > Control by mobile apps

Select
Network access

3.
Choose one of the following settings:
•
Default
– Devices can connect only through a private network address, and
accept commands only from other private network addresses on your
home network. This setting is suitable for most cases, including use of the
Roku mobile app on your smartphone.
•
Permissive
– Devices can connect under all conditions, but accept
commands only from private network addresses or the same subnetwork
within your home network. This setting might be required when attempting
to operate the TV from a third-party application, for example, one of the
Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as ifttt.com.
•
Disabled
– Device connection is completely disabled. The TV does not
accept external commands from any source, including the Roku mobile app.
