Install Tocsin24 on a TV

Samsung, LG or another system? The app does not exist there: plug in a Google TV box, or open app.tocsin24.com/tv in the browser of the TV, a mini PC or a Raspberry Pi (same pairing screen, same steps).

1. Install the app

1. On the TV, open Google Play (Apps tab, then “Search for apps”).
2. Search for Tocsin24 and install the app.
3. Open it: a six-character code is shown, with a QR code.

2. Pair the screen with your account

The screen shows nothing about your shops until you pair it. The code changes every ten minutes: if it has changed in the meantime, use the new one.

With the QR code (easiest)

1. Scan the screen’s QR code with your phone’s camera.
2. The “Pair a TV” page of your account opens with the code already filled in (sign in if needed). Check that it matches the one shown on your TV.
3. Name the screen (“Reception”, “Office”…), tick the instances to show, then “Pair the screen”.

Without the QR code

1. On a phone or computer, open app.tocsin24.com and sign in.
2. Menu My account › Screens, Pair a TV card.
3. Enter the code shown by the TV, name the screen, choose the instances, then “Pair the screen”.

The TV shows the wall by itself within a few seconds and remembers it: next time it is switched on, it opens the wall straight away. On first display, three tips scroll at the bottom of the screen; press OK to close them. No account yet? On the code screen, press OK to see a demo wall.

3. Turn off sleep mode

The app prevents the screen saver, but no app can stop the TV from switching off to save energy. Set it once and for all; labels vary from one model to another.

• Google TV (Sony, TCL, Hisense, recent Philips, Chromecast, Google TV Streamer): Settings › System › Power & energy › “Turn off display” or “Energy saver”: Never.
• Android TV (Sony, Philips, NVIDIA Shield…): Settings › Device preferences (or System) › Power, “Sleep when inactive” or “Auto power off”: Never or Off. On Philips, also check Settings › Eco settings.
• Box plugged into another TV (Samsung, LG…): set the box as above, and the TV itself: its “auto standby” or “auto power off” (often after a few hours without a remote press) must be turned off, in the power or energy saving settings.

After a power cut, the app restarts by itself if the TV allows it; otherwise, open it once from the home screen.

With the remote

• Long press OK (one second): light theme, dark theme, or the one chosen in your account.
• Back: leaves the app.
• Nothing else to do: the wall updates by itself every 30 seconds and can play a short chime when an instance turns critical (setting in My account › Screens).
