The remote app usually works via wifi or IR blaster, and in your case you need the device that the app is on to have an IR blaster in order to program the new remote.Ye have the panasonic remote app but will that actually work to program the technomate remote for the TV controls as thought physical tv remote was required?
In the google play store for the app it gives the following info but there are more devices with an IR blaster than are listed, just do a google search for a comprehensive list. Do you know anyone with phones listed below?
Infrared IR Blaster Mode
- Inbuilt IR Blaster must be present in your phone such as Galaxy S, Note 4, LG G3/G4/G5, HTC ONE, Xiaomi Mi / Redmi etc.
- Launch the app and control your Panasonic TV directly.
- No additional hardware is required for Panasonic TV remote app.
You can also buy really cheap IR blasters that plug into your mobile phones 3.5mm jack from ebay, but I've never used one personally so don't know how good they are.
