TV Command Hub

Xoens Connect

About this app

TV Command Hub turns your Garmin watch into a full remote for your Samsung Smart TV. Send volume, channel, navigation, and media commands — all from your wrist, without ever picking up the physical remote.

HOW IT WORKS
Install the Samsung TV Remote watch app from the Connect IQ Store, install TV Command Hub on your Android phone, and pair with your Samsung TV once. The watch sends commands over Bluetooth to your phone, and your phone forwards them to the TV over Wi-Fi.

REQUIREMENTS
• A compatible Garmin watch (Fenix 6, 7, or 8 series)
• An Android phone running Android 12 or later
• Garmin Connect Mobile installed
• A Samsung Smart TV on the same Wi-Fi network

SUPPORTED WATCHES
Button models: Fenix 6, 6 Pro, 6X Pro, 7, 7S, 7X and Pro variants
Touch models: Fenix 8 AMOLED (43/47/51 mm), Fenix 8 Solar (47/51 mm), Fenix 8 Pro (47/51 mm)

FEATURES
• D-pad navigation with OK, Back, Home, and Power
• Volume up, down, and mute
• Media controls: play, pause, stop, rewind, fast-forward
• Two-page touch UI on Fenix 8 models
• Three-mode button UI on Fenix 6 and 7 models
• Background service keeps the connection alive
• No internet required after setup

PRIVACY
