Home Remote Control Pro
The major part of the app is the Linux remote control. It lets you control your mouse via single and multi touch, control the sound volume, send keyboard keys, list/manage/download/upload files to the system filesystem, write custom commands, use a terminal, execute tasks in the future, control media and do live monitoring of 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 MonitoringThe 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 LanWake 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.
WidgetsThe 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.
Additional featuresBrowse through ~2.500 Linux commands and man pages. It also provides you with a bunch of useful Linux "one-line-scripts". You can also live monitor your Android device.
Kodi/XBMCBrowse your movie library and control the sound volume.
Windows/OSXLogin via scanning the QR code of the Server App(http://schubert-simon.de/remotecontrolserver/RemoteControlServer.zip).
Example commandsYou can do basic actions like shutdown/reboot the system, navigate the system, play text to speech and control media. But also can take a screenshot of screen/webcam and send it to the phone.

This is a really great app, I wish it could get an update. 5 years and no update....
SSL keyfile cannot be imported.
cool app i love it <3
Good, but hasn't been updated in a long time and it's starting to show. Lots of weird little bugs, and I've found workarounds for some of them but I'm not sure where to post them. Others report the developer does not respond to emails. A real shame; hopefully another app comes along soon with similar functionality. The custom buttons on the remote were really helpful for getting my parents to be able to use the media center I built while still offering lots of in depth control for me.
For 10 months I've been waiting for Unified Remote to fix a bug with Linux that makes text entry with Google Voice keyboard impossible. But this application actually works! The developers scenes happy to help fix bugs! It runs flawlessly on all platforms. The layout and design is simple and effective. I bought this application within 5 minutes of using it. And I know I will not need a refund. I would love to see Tasker plug-in integration
The app is almost perfect,except that I can't disabe the drag function which doesn't really work properly for me at all times
Awesome touchpad and scrolling control on ubuntu 16.04. volume control not working for me. I wish the Android keyboard integration would automatically hit enter after I hit send. Right now I have to hit enter with app keyboard which defeats purpose of Android keyboard integration.
And I would bump that up to a complete 5, if i could somehow stop the app from using my tablets "shake" every time there is a minor connection problem/a signal is lost during transmission in mouse mode.
The mouse and keyboard do not work on Ubuntu 16.04
Mouse doesn't work, i can't see it on the screen, asked for support and no reply in more than a week. Product isn''t useful for me, doesn't me it won't work for you!
I'll purchase it when it's available for Ubuntu 16.04
Hi Dev, I can't seem to export the device config. Any help? - Thanks for the app.
Worked very well with Ubuntu machine but could not login to opensuse machine.
Kodi support is broken. The developer doesn't answer emails. Thus I regret having bought the paid version.
The mouse control over Bluetooth is very stable and the custom commands are also very handy to launch you own desktop apps. I only wish your Control Server had a "start as a service" option for Windows and the Android app remembers the connection mode because it keeps changing from Bluetooth to WiFi every time I disconnect. But your app is excellent!
Works great with key base login only. I only use as remote for Linux base OS media player... And they removed ads for pro version.. Must of been a bug. Thanks dev, beautiful app.
Works great! Thank you! FYI, I use pamixer on Arch Linux (I don't remember what was the default volume regulator, but it didn't work for me).
volume doesn't work, screenshots and camera photo failed to download. where can I find the lines to try to fix it?
Works great! I use to power on/off my Ubuntu media server.
Please add android wear support! Thanks
Works well, not digging ads in a paid app though.
Good app, but the last update introduced ads.
The ssh login fails 75% of the time when using ssh key file and 100% when using user/pass only. Opensuse Tumbleweed and 13.1 and with 2 different Android devices (5.1.1 and 6.0). Syslog mentions disconnect from android side with exception from the app. On successful connection it works good as a mouse, which is my basic minimal usecase. syslog error is like this on opensuse 13.1 sshd[PID]: error: Received disconnect from IP: 3: com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: Auth fail [preauth]
In order to make this a sensational app, I would like to have the ability to move or copy a file from file manager, and two, be able to use the app to login to desktop session at the login screen....
Works great with raspberry pi
...The Italian keyboard for some reason is qwertz (should be QWERTY) and it also needs an "Alt Gr" key.
Keep up the good work, just a thing; I'm not able to click and drag a window on Linux, don't know if it's capable on other platforms though, but I think it should be a core feature.
Thanks. But please give a portrait keyboard option
Brilliant! This is absolutely brilliant mate. I'm using Linux mint and it works perfectly. Really really helpful and useful! Thank you so much! I just bought the payment version because you deserve it :) Just a question: when I use it, if I check on the shell log there are all the commands that has been executed from this app to remotely control the pc. Is there a way to don't save theese commands in order to keep my sheel clean? (I'm using it with usr/psw connection)
