Partial The mobile remote UI and local Wi-Fi control flow are vibe-codeable, but each TV brand uses a different proprietary control protocol that must be reverse-engineered or sourced from open-source libraries.
What it would actually take: Build native Android and iOS apps (Kotlin/Swift or Flutter/React Native) with an SSDP/mDNS discovery layer and a per-brand protocol adapter library. The hard part is reverse-engineering and maintaining protocols for many TV brands, plus handling iOS local network permissions and IR blasting for devices without network control.
