Smart TVs
The Haven TV app runs on Apple TV and Android TV, and Fire TV is not supported today. Guests reach other apps with the remote's Home button, which opens the TV's own home screen.
A linked TV shows the listing's brand, with a backdrop reel of that listing's photos and videos behind the app's tabs.
When to use
Use this when a TV should show one listing, or when the question is which TVs the Haven TV app runs on. Each TV is linked on its own: you approve it, then choose the listing on the TV.
Link a TV
The app does not show a sign-in form. The TV shows a code, you approve that code, and then you choose the listing on the TV.
- Open the Haven TV app on an Apple TV or Android TV. It shows a short code and a QR code. The code lasts 10 minutes.
- Scan the QR code, or open /link-tv and approve the TV. Settings → Smart Devices → Smart TVs → Link a TV is the same form.
- On the TV, pick the listing it should show.
Choose backdrops
TV backdrops are the photos and videos a listing's TV cycles behind its tabs. On Settings → Smart Devices → Smart TVs, open the listing and click Choose backdrops.
You can pick up to 20 of the listing's photos and videos, in play order. With none chosen, the TV plays the gallery's leading photos. The TV re-reads that reel within about five minutes.
Unlink a TV or move it to another listing
Unlink, on the row under Linked TVs, signs that TV out immediately and returns it to its setup screen. Confirm with Confirm unlink. That is also how a TV moves to another listing.
Guests and other apps
The remote's Home button opens the TV's own home screen. Other apps already installed on the TV are on that screen.
Haven does not install, hide, or manage those apps, and it does not sign guests out of streaming accounts.
