How to start remote TV on Apple Watch via Shortcuts - possible?

On my Apple Watch Ultra 2, I'm running a shortcut where I want to open the local Apple TV Remote on my Apple Watch.

Can this be done? I've can't make it happen.

Please don't engage, unless you have tried it your self, I know there are lot of kind and helpful users, I just want a helping hand from someone who tested it themselves. Thanks :)

Hi Jens,

It simply is not possible. The Remote app is not an app you can open in Shortcuts (using the Open App action), not even on the iPhone.

I looked at the Action button but there was no way either to open Remote through it.

The only think I can suggest is to use Siri, i.e. say "Open Remote".
