How to turn on MiBox without remote ?

by techloomp

I now that I can plug/unplug power cable to turn on/start/restart MiBox - but this is quite ‘brutal’ method. Is there any other method to turn on MiBox without remote ?

3rd party IR remote (like a cheap-ish harmony). 3rd party bluetooth remote (like a more expensive harmony).

For the time being try the mi box remote app on playstore.

I'm looking for the same broke remote 2 nights ago, using the Android TV app on mobile is ok, but there is now power button? :(

  1. Try setting sleeping to never.
  2. Any IR remote should do, very good if you have it in your phone.
  3. If you don't have IR, download" AnyMote Universal Remote" app and scan your WiFi for your MiBox.
  4. Purchase/use a fire tv remote if you can get one easily.

Worst case? Plug in a keyboard.

Lots of solutions here. When I thought my remote was broken for 6 months, I just unplugged and plugged it back in, and it would power on.

You can buy cheap clone IR remotes for mibox/mitv on ebay or aliexpress about $2. You can buy original, non voice, IR remote for mibox/mitv about $10. You can buy original non voice, bluetooth remote for mibox/mitv about $10-20. <- I use one of them for replacement. They are now pretty expensive, a year ago i bought one for $10.
