Connecting Pultio to Android TV

To connect Pultio, you need a compatible Android TV or Google TV television or streaming box, a phone and your home Wi-Fi network. Normal pairing does not require developer mode or manual ADB configuration.

1. Install the app​

Download Pultio for your phone from Google Play or the App Store.

2. Check the network​

Turn on the television. Connect your phone and TV to the same home Wi-Fi network. Avoid a guest network with device isolation: it may prevent your phone from reaching the television.

3. Find the television​

Open Pultio and allow local network access if your phone requests it. Search for compatible devices and select your television.

If automatic discovery does not find the TV, Pultio lets you enter its local IP address manually. You can usually find it in the TV’s network settings.

4. Confirm pairing​

Follow the app’s instructions and enter the code displayed on your TV. Once connected, try navigating through the menus.

5. Try the keyboard and touchpad​

The phone keyboard helps you enter searches when a compatible text field is active on the TV. Touchpad support and individual buttons depend on the model, software and current TV app.

The power command may not wake some devices. If the TV does not turn on from your phone, use its physical button or original remote, then reconnect.

Still cannot find your TV? See the troubleshooting checklist.

This guide is based on the GBApps Pultio description on Google Play. Behaviour may vary with the app version and device.
