Function101 Button Remote for Apple TV — Bluetooth + IR Replacement, Traditional Buttons & 2 AAA

If you prefer tactile buttons to touch gestures or want a second controller for guests, the Function101 Button Remote gives you straightforward playback and navigation across every Apple TV model. It pairs via Bluetooth Low Energy for reliable no-line-of-sight control of the Apple TV itself and can be programmed to send infrared commands to TVs, soundbars, and receivers for volume, mute, and power. Two AAA batteries are included, and USA-based support helps with IR setup and pairing.

How does this remote pair with my Apple TV and my existing Siri Remote?

The Button Remote pairs as an additional controller rather than replacing the Siri Remote, so both remotes work side-by-side. Bluetooth Low Energy provides a stable connection to your Apple TV without needing direct line of sight. Pairing is quick using the Apple TV pairing workflow, and customer support or the included QR setup guide can help if needed.

• Pairs via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) as a second controller
• Works alongside Siri Remote — no need to unpair or sacrifice voice controls
• Plug-and-play compatibility with all Apple TV generations

Can it control my TV’s volume and power?

Yes — the Function101 Button Remote combines Bluetooth for Apple TV control with an infrared (IR) learner mode for TV and audio devices. A one-time IR programming step teaches the remote your equipment's power, volume, and mute commands. Line-of-sight is required for IR functions, and the remote supports hundreds of brands with a quick setup guide and US-based support if you run into trouble.

• IR learning/programming for TV, soundbar, and receiver commands
• Support for SONOS via the SONOS app; HomePod volume through tvOS Control Center
• QR code guide and phone/email support for IR code setup

What features make it easier for everyone to use?

The Button Remote uses a traditional, tactile layout with dedicated play, pause, rewind, and fast-forward keys, avoiding swipe gestures and touchpads that can be confusing. The familiar design reduces accidental inputs and makes the remote ideal for kids, guests, or anyone who prefers physical buttons. Included batteries mean the remote works right out of the box with no charging required.

• Classic button layout with dedicated media controls
• Two AAA batteries included — no USB charging needed
• Simple labeling and ergonomic button spacing for fast operation

Will this remote work with streaming apps and different Apple TV generations?

Yes — it’s designed to navigate major streaming services and every Apple TV model. The remotes’ button-based controls work consistently across apps like Apple TV+, Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Disney+, and YouTube TV. Because it uses standard playback and navigation signals, you’ll get predictable behavior no matter which app you open.

• Compatible with all Apple TV and Apple TV 4K generations
• Works reliably across major streaming platforms and apps
• Consistent behavior versus swipe-based remotes

Who is this for? The Function101 Button Remote is ideal for households that want a simple, reliable secondary Apple TV controller — think bedrooms, guest rooms, parents who prefer buttons, seniors, and living rooms where accidental inputs from touchscreen remotes are a problem. It’s also a practical choice when you want IR control of TV power and volume without replacing or recharging your existing Siri Remote.
