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.

1.
From the Home screen menu, navigate to
Settings > System > Advanced system settings >

Select

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.
