About Home Remote Control

The one Remote Control for your Windows/OSX/Linux/Kodi system.

Key Features
• Control mouse/keyboard
• Control the sound volume
• List/manage/download/upload files to the system filesystem
• Write custom commands
• Use a terminal
• Execute tasks in the future
• Control media
• Monitoring the system.

You can export any remote control profile as a json file, share it with friends/colleagues or import it to another app instance. For the Linux remote control no third party software is required except an SSH server which is most likely available via your package manager. Login via user and password or via SSH key.

Live Monitoring
The live monitoring shows information about the current CPU usage, used and max ram, network interface information, Bluetooth Mac address and connection name, left battery life in percentage, used and max swap, disk partitions and general information about the system architecture. You can also customize the monitoring request commands and display any kind of information you want.

Wake on Lan
Wake up a system via network with a so called "Magic Packet". You will find instructions on how to enable the wol feature inside the app.

Widgets
The app has 3 types of widgets for your home screen: one to send commands, another one to show live monitor information and one to wake up systems.

Windows/OSX
Login via scanning the QR code of the Server App(http://schubert-simon.de/remotecontrolserver/RemoteControlServer.zip).

Loved it! I'm running arch and everything is working fine. loved the mouse. but there's a problem: I use the Windows key to manipule a lot of things in my window manager like windows, terminals etc and in the app's keyboard there is not Windows key :'(

U70%
by U####:

Buggy/annoyances but OK-ish. Main one is app constantly nags with pop-up to buy Pro version (but never states what you get more and no updates for a year). Mouse pad often glitches to select item rather than move. If typing in search field you cannot execute an Enter command on its own, even with empty field. Has huge potential but appears dev no longer bothered to update/fix but still wants your money

The best app I have ever downloaded on Android! feature request: the filesystem opening files when you tap them, the same that normally happens in a file manager. It is a remote control app. Traversing files in media players has always been awkward, doing it on the remote works way better. I do it on a webserver but it would be great to do it all in one app and yours looks way better too.

D70%

Amazing! Works like a charm! Had issue with mouse control, but it was just the DISPLAY variable in my PC that was using ':1' instead of ':0'. Updated the value in app settings and everything started to work.

So I set this up for both me and my buddy, love it for the fact that the computer side software is all managed through the ubuntu repositories which keeps things secure. My system it worked without a hitch my buddy's had a authentication error due to the fact I had his firewall enabled which is easy to turn off with the command "sudo ufw disable" the volume on my one system gives me trouble but that is due to how my outputs are set up and with a little research you can adjust the app to fix it

This app is damn good. Easy to use. The tutorials REALLY help me. I'm not being sarcastic. As an ubuntu desperate user, this app is really help me. Many apps are available on windows and mac, but this app taught me how to connect it on ubuntu! Thanks to whoever made this!!!!!!!!!!!

by Z####:

Even though it does work, you can't see the screen, so you pretty much can only control the computer if you are close enough and facing it already.

by C####:

I really like this app, however it has a few quirks. For example, the screen capture doesn't work until you change the download folder on my m9, and the monitor page just doesn't work (doesn't even try to send commands to ssh).

Hi Simson, I found this app very useful, it would be good to have a text editor to view/modify the files instead of downloading.

Unfortunately the mouse doesnt move left and right and is completely stuck to right of the screen. Everything else works great. Specs: ubuntu 14.04 64bit , phone: htc desire 620

Maybe only have the pop ups when someone tries to use the pro feature. Other than that the app is great.

V70%
by V####:

Very buggy application. This is an example of poor design and bad coding. The application does not check its state and connection state and the result of sending commands remains secret. I used this app with Linux for over a year.

The functionalities for linux and the way you can configure it are great!

The "please buy" message is really annoying. Please state clearly what features are available in the free version in the description. Misleading people this way will not make the app very popular.
