Comments on Home Remote Control for Android

★★★★★ I love the mouse touchpad function and vertical and horizontal scrolling. Also love the shortcuts for reboot and shutdown plus custom ones. awesome! The volume control does not work on ubuntu 16.04. I wish the Android keyboard feature would hit enter for me when I hit send.
★★★★★ 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 :'(
★★★★★ Wow, this is indeed decent - works nicely on linux machine and a RasPi, especially the virtual touchpad is what I have been longing for a long time (yes, there is vnc, but this thingy is way comfier), especially as it will likely be a cool remote for a RasPi rover too. Now I see how much hassle there is with downloading server app on win. What an inherently lame system... :D
★★☆☆☆ An interesting and fun experiment although a bit clunky. If you need to get things done then simply install a vnc server on the target box and a vnc client on your Android phone. Both are free and without nags and ads, and there are enough options both for clients and servers.
★★☆☆☆ Bad ux. Extremely laggy mouse. I admire the skill it took to create this, I know I couldn't do better, but this thing is slow and laggy and has very bad ux. There's some very fundamental issues with how menus are organized.
★★☆☆☆ Tried using for newest ubuntu 19, but doesnt support this. Set up with this is tedious and surprisingly inconenient. Ads. Also doesn't work. That too.
★★☆☆☆ I really wanted this to work. Simply couldn't connect to my Gentoo box over ssh, which I know does work because I sshin quite often.

Description by Simon Schubert Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
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).
