## 🌟 Description
**Attention!** This program can ONLY control Android TVs! To do this, the application and the TV must be in the same local network!
The application scans your network and connects to the found android TV.
It happens that the first attempt fails to find the TV, try pressing the search button again.
At the moment, the remote control has all the basic control capabilities, such as volume control, channel switching, menu calling and turning off the TV.
