Using The FireTV app
You can use the FireTV app to control your FireStick without your remote. It is the easiest option and using the app, you won’t need the remote always with you to stream content on FireStick. However, the app might be limited in terms of functionality when compared to the original FireStick, but yes, it does the job very well.
The FireTV app uses Wi-Fi connectivity in order to work as a remote for FireStick.

If you don’t know how to set up the FireTV app, and how to use your phone as a control for your FireStick, then you can follow the steps given below-

Redmi phones do come with an IR blaster. So, you can use Mi Remote app that comes preinstalled on your device to control your FireStick. You can use the app to control other devices that do support IR control.
Moreover, after you are able to control your FireStick with your Redmi phone, you can connect your device and the FireStick TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
Controlling FireStick With HDMI CEC
Nowadays, many TVs come with HDMI-CEC. This allows you to use and control any 3rd party devices with the TV remote only. Using this functionality, you will be able to use your FireStick TV with the remote of the TV even if you have lost or misplaced the in-box remote that you get with the FireStick TV. However, in order to use HDMI CEC, you will have to ensure that the service is enabled on your device. Most of the devices come with HDMI CEC enabled by default.
