EKO hasn’t launched any dedicated remote app to control the TV. Luckily, third-party remote apps are available to control the TV’s operating system. If you have EKO Android TV, Google TV, and webOS Hub TV, you can control it using Google TV and LG ThinQ apps. These apps use WiFi signals to operate the TV. So, check whether the EKO TV and phone are connected to the same WiFi. If WiFi is unavailable, use the IR blaster remote app to control the EKO TV via IR signals.
