Welcome to the reYmote manual wiki!

'''This wiki is currently being updated to v1.1 of reYmote (which will be rolled out very soon). Thus most information on this page is not valid at the moment.'''

This is the official reYmote manual/wiki. reYmote is a universal remote app for the Android platform.

''' Please read the following paragraph if you are new to reYmote. '''

reYmote is highly configurable. The configuration effort is the same as the possibilities: huge!

 Warning: reYmote clearly lacks wizard-like functionality to help novice users start using the app quickly!!!

It may also require deep technical knowledge, depending on what you want to control and how. The "how" also depends on your equipment, how much money you want to spend and what technical skills you have (like electronics or programming).

 Warning: Some of the configuration items may require deep technical knowledge (depending on what you want to do) and can lead to temporary deep frustration.

Many people control their complete home (including lights, windows, door-locks, robots...) with beautifully custom designed remote screens. Its possibilities go way beyond being a simple TV remote control.

 Warning: Out-of-the-box reYmote won't do anything!!!

A lot of people underestimate the configuration effort and give bad ratings.

E.g. the xml configuration for my home is 756 lines long and still growing. I spent time in the magnitude of days to configure over 100 different actions for my home.

 Warning: If you don't want to a lot of time (much more than 15 minutes) on configuration you may be better served with other apps like the Touchsquid Remote App.

''Now you may continue reading the manual if you didn't leave already. If you are a novice user you may want want to skip to be the tutorial Controlling a TV''

What is reYmote in a nutshell?

reYmote basically just lets you trigger IP network communication by pressing buttons on a customized remotes, reading NFC tags or via Tasker.

It allows low level configuration of popular IP protocols (TCP, UDP, ...) as well as specialized configuration items to be able to start using the Global Caché iTach and the XBMC Media-Center more conveniently and quickly.

reYmote allows much freedom in design of custom remotes which in turn may require a lot of additional configuration effort depending on how sophisticated and creative you want to get.
