Philips is a Dutch-based largest electronics brand worldwide. It remains the best-selling TV brand in major countries due to its affordability and best-in-class picture quality. You can control the TV using voice commands via Google Assistant with the remote. Moreover, you can use the official mobile app to adjust display settings, change TV input, and even use it as a remote controller. But most remote apps connect the TV and the smartphone to the same WiFi network. So, turning on the TV using the remote app when the device is off would not be possible. However, we have several other reliable methods to turn on Philips TV without a remote.
