Control all your RCA TVs from one app

Yes. Our free RCA remote app discovers all RCA Roku TV units on your Wi-Fi network simultaneously using SSDP. Every TV appears in the device list — tap to switch between rooms instantly. Each connection uses HTTP REST (Roku ECP) (port 8060). No pairing code needed per TV on the first connection. No separate apps per TV, no subscription, and no limit on the number of TVs you can add.

All RCA Roku TV units on the same Wi-Fi network are discovered automatically via SSDP and appear in the app's device selector. Tap any to switch control instantly — the app maintains connections to all Roku OS TVs simultaneously so switching is immediate with no re-pairing delay. No PIN or pairing code is required — the connection is instant per TV on the very first connection only. Each subsequent connection is instant.

Our free RCA remote app supports multi-room control with no additional cost. All RCA Roku TV units on your home network are discovered simultaneously via SSDP. You select individual TVs from the device list — no simultaneous broadcast mode, but switching between TVs is instant. Each TV connects via HTTP REST (Roku ECP) (port 8060). No pairing code needed per TV on first launch. No subscription, no account, no limit on TV count.

None for the TVs — and one confusingly-named app that is not it. There is an app called RCA Smart Remote, and it is published by VOXX International — a completely separate RCA licensee that holds the name for remote controls and audio accessories, not for televisions. It is a universal infrared code app. For an RCA Roku TV the correct app is Roku’s own.

RTR and RTRU Roku models follow the Roku convention — one button, short press for power or the Input List, long press to power off. The non-Roku sets in the 4K/HD category use an old-fashioned button row on the rear or edge, because there is no smart platform behind them to open a menu. On an RTR or RTRU set the network menu needs a remote or a phone, as on any Roku TV; Ethernet gets you through setup without either. On a basic RCA panel there is no network menu at all — the button row is the entire interface.

This is RCA’s characteristic failure, and it is a licensing artefact rather than a bug. Because the badge spans Roku TV, webOS and non-smart panels, an app matched to one of them is structurally incapable of seeing the others — and a non-smart RCA has no network presence to discover at all. The similarly-named VOXX app in the store compounds the confusion. Read the model plate before troubleshooting anything. RTR or RTRU means Roku ECP and a Roku-compatible app. A webOS RCA needs a webOS connection. A set from the plain 4K/HD category cannot be controlled over Wi-Fi by anything, and an infrared remote is the only option.
