Does EMI Locker work for appliance retailers selling smart TVs?

EMI Locker works on any Android-based device running Android 9.0 or higher using DPC (Device Policy Controller) enrollment. This includes Android smart TVs, Android tablets, Android set-top boxes, and Android phones. For appliance retailers, the most common use cases are Android smart TVs and Android-based digital devices. Non-Android appliances (refrigerators, washing machines) do not have an Android OS and cannot be enrolled.

How do you lock an Android Smart TV for EMI default?

Android smart TVs enrolled via EMI Locker's DPC enrollment can be locked remotely from the retailer panel. When locked, the TV displays a custom screen with the retailer's name, overdue amount, payment link, and contact number. The TV user cannot access Netflix, YouTube, or any app until the retailer issues an unlock command from the panel.

Can I use EMI Locker for both phones and smart TVs in the same shop?

Yes. EMI Locker's dashboard handles multiple device types — phones and Android smart TVs from the same account. Each device enrollment is independent and uses one key. You can filter the dashboard by device type to see phones separately from TVs.

How remotely locking an Android Smart TV works

Quick Enrollment at Setup

The customer installs the EMI Locker app, you add them in your retailer app — the device registers under your account automatically in minutes. No QR code, no manual steps on the device.

Track Payment Status

The TV appears in your EMI Locker dashboard alongside any phones. View payment due date, overdue status, and AI risk score from the same panel.

Lock Overdue Smart TV Remotely

When EMI is overdue, click "Lock" in the panel. The TV locks remotely — customer cannot access Netflix, YouTube, or any app. A custom message with your shop name and contact appears on the TV screen.

Customer Calls, Pays, Unlocks

Customer calls your shop number (visible on lock screen), makes payment, and you unlock the TV from the panel. Customer's viewing resumes immediately. Entire cycle handled without a visit to their home.

AI Risk Prediction

AI flags high-risk TV accounts 3–7 days before the EMI due date — same as for phones. Send automated reminders via the AI reminder bot before the lock escalation is necessary.

Factory Reset Proof

If the customer tries to factory reset the Android TV, Factory Reset Protection activates automatically — the TV locks itself and cannot be set up again without your authorization. There is no way around it.
