AutoRemote Examples

[Nuno Mendes]

Hey guys, i'm thinking about buying AutoRemote, can you guys share with me what you've done so far? How it changes your experience from android and in which way?

Im kinda not feeling to inclined to buy it, maybe some inspiration would help. for example I bought AutoNotification for the ability to have super notification configuration :) And AutoVoice for its core function to control phone via voice.

I'm not seeing though how AutoRemote would impact me as much as those 2 :p maybe im missing something :D

[Jacob Klein]

Well I use it as a remote to control my computer.  I built a remote using a Tasker scene and then installed Event Ghost and set that up to receive commands and act upon them (as Tasker would).  I then use the remote scene to send commands from Tasker to EventGhost through AutoRemote.  

This is so convenient for so many reasons. My main PC is in my bedroom and I know I do this a lot, but how many times are you laying in bed and want to shut your PC off?  Me: A TON! So I have Autoremote do it!  I can shut it off, sleep (which I mainly use), or lock my PC all from my phone.  

I also set it up (using Taskers B9) so that when the Remote is active using the volume buttons on my phone will adjust the volume on my PC!  Very impressive to show your friends haha!  I also built an iTunes controller from the Remote and another through Autonotification so I can control iTunes from my notification panel which is nice if I want to pause my music quickly and am on the other side of my room.  

My Remote can also control Chrome by opening it, making new tabs, closing tabs, and switching through tabs.  

These basic functions available from my phone make my PC so much easier to use!!

Buy Autoremote you will not regret it if you implement something like I did!!!!!  Its worth the cheap price for the high quality product!!!!!!!

[Nuno Mendes]

Yeah that I knew it could do, but I wanted it to use more advanced things, since that any remote form the playstore free will do that, with an easier configuration :p

I wanted to use keyboard combination of keys, and mouse, but I dont think thats still possible in EventGhost which makes me really sad :/

My point was to autologin in some games the moment I get home or in facebook opr whatever I want..

[João Dias]

Nuno, EventGhost does that.

Keyboad: Emulate Keystrokes

Mouse: Left Mouse Button

How do I do it? Can you help me out?

The problem is EG is complex for me, if I buy AR and post questions here you'll help me out?:p

[João Dias]

Just create the actions I mentioned. 

Check out a video about it here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX5kowMaCeA

I will help you certainly, but don't push it. :P You can find out about most stuff on Google. For instance, how to add an action to EventGhost :P

I will be glad to help about any AutoRemote issues.

[Nuno Mendes]

Yeah I saw that video, but it doesnt mention mouse buttons :x And I try to execute this thing called Swith to mode: Mouse Emulator, but I dont get any muouse events on the log, and I cant find the "mouse" plugin within the list of Plugins :x

[Nuno Mendes]

Under which name is the mouse plugin? I found the keyboar one. Though the keyboard one doesn't recognizes "Fn" key :/

[Nuno Mendes]

Ok just found out what u meant by action. Was indeed, ACTIOn and not in the plugin :p ill check it out, though Not beeing able to use the test button my mouse aint moving, but for sure im doing smth bad, ill explorer it more :D

[Nuno Mendes]

Been playing around just a lil bit, and I was finding odd that EG sneding notification would immediatly take effect, but If i send a standart message, i need to leave tasker and reenter to that the "profile" taht receives the word "teste" started working. Weird :D

[Nuno Mendes]

Ok so I sucesfully did what I planned on EG: Autostart and autologin on League of Legends:D

How can I make a EG Notification to don't timeout and receive whenever my Android connects to the internet?

[João Dias]

Hmm, I forgot to add that parameter in the EventGhost plugin. I'll add it, thanks for reminding me.

It does have a option saying: time to live. But I dont think thats quite it. Though I would love an option to send it whenever my Android would turn back on to the internet (i never have my auto sync up and such, so I just use data mobile form time to time). Is that possible joao?:)

[Tony B.]

Read my blog.. It's basically a testimony of how AutoRemote has changed my life

[João Dias]

It does Nuno? :P That's exactly it. Write in the number of seconds you want the notification to live for. I must have taken it out by accident in the latest beta version then.

[João Dias]

Thanks for that Tony :)

[Nuno Mendes]

Yeap Joao, seconds? Cant u set it for infinite amout of time? Was simpler with some Box where u can choose like, 5mins,10,30,1h,2h,4h,8h,12h,24h,Never

Can you do that? Kinda boring to write "999999999999" each time xDD And looks nicer with a lil box :D

[Nuno Mendes]

Read that quote please Joao, and can I get some help at this:

How can I run EG as Admin at startup?

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/create-administrator-mode-shortcuts-without-uac-prompts-in-windows-vista/

This doesnt works. Also im trying to launch a program that needs UAC and EG says Im not elevated. So Or I need to run EG as Admin at startup, or find a way to launch a program at EG making it to request UAC...:/

[Nuno Mendes]

Managed to enable EG as admin on startup with some tweaks on the schedular from different websites :P

"Cant u set it for infinite amout of time? Was simpler with some Box where u can choose like, 5mins,10,30,1h,2h,4h,8h,12h,

24h,Never"

Can you please make that on next AutoRemote plugin? And also a set it for Registering the device? Because if we dont have the phone internet on the time EG starts on PC it cant connect right?:/

[João Dias]

I actually can't set it to an infinite amount of time. The maximum timespan is 4 weeks which is 2 419 200 seconds :P

Maybe I could use a combo box for that, yeah...

It's also very nice for communicating between multiple Android devices. For example, if you have a tablet or a significant other with an Android phone you can check the settings, battery life and activity of one device on the other (e.g. I get a notification if my tablet battery is low). You can also sync up things like lists between devices very easily. For example you could have a grocery list where one device can add or remove things from the shared list and have it automatically update on the other device. Using AutoLocation and AutoNotification you can do some handy things like one device notifying the other when you get to a location where a list is appropriate (e.g. my wife gets a notification that I'm at the grocery store or I have to acknowledge a persistent notification that she sends to me to get it to go away).

There's also the common "Check out this YouTube video/website" application where you just send the video link or URL to another device rather than saying it to them, texting it to them or huddling around one phone or tablet.

I also do some of the more common actions of saving text, websites or pictures from Chrome on my PC to my phone.

Right Scott brings up a good point. If you have another android device you can control one with the other.

I only have a phone but if I had more there would be some functionality between the two.

He'll if your kids have android devices you could use it to see where they are without them even knowing it.

Again the opportunities are endless it's just whatever you can think of to do

[Nuno Mendes]

@Jacob ye :p

@Scott, can u tell me how u accomplish the last 2 paragraphs?:)

[Nuno Mendes]

[Nuno Mendes]

[Jacob Klein]

I can explain mine here,

I have autoremote for chrome and I simply right click on something and click "post" (my command name) and it sends a link of the object to my phone. It adds a notification copies to clipboard and on press, it opens the link. Good for anything on the internet. Text, images, anything. Opens it on my phone and I can work from that. I also have the option from autoshare to move a link to my todo list.

So I can take a website on my PC, move it to my phone, and save it on my to-do list for later viewing.

Very simple and efficient process. Good to have the functionality too!

Sharing URL's and YouTube videos actually doesn't require any work. Here's a demonstration from Pocketables:

http://www.pocketables.com/2012/08/autoremote-now-extends-androids-share-feature-to-remote-devices.html

Copying text from one device to another is also easy. I just did the same thing that was mentioned in another Pocketables article:

http://www.pocketables.com/2013/06/use-autoremote-and-tasker-to-copy-text-to-your-device-from-other-devices.html

Once you get the hang of how the message system works, the rest is just getting what you want done in Tasker. Saving pictures is a work in progress, but I just send the URL for the picture and then have my phone download the picture from that URL. The AutoRemote part of all of it is super simple. It's just sending a command and parameters. Think of it as calling a subroutine with text only parameters. It's just that in this case the subroutine is being run on a different device.
