Btt remote on Android

No idea If that's even possible but id gladly pay for it

I understand if it's too complicated though

Many devs use Mac+android fwiw

I made an account just to post this. Not sure if you've found the common workaround but here it is:

  1. Enable "BTT Webserver" in Advanced Preferences
  2. Access the BTT Webserver interface via browser on your android phone
  3. Go back to the BTT admin panel on your computer and configure specific actions for the Webserver

Hope this helps!

I found and enabled it, thank you . however it doesnt seem to work, or I'm using it wrong

i basically put https://IP:port , but it doesnt connect

make sure your iphone is in the same wifi and you are using the correct local network IP. (usually something like 192.x.x.x)

However there is no default UI for the webserver. You can create HTML files yourself, but by default it only serves the functional endpoints.

it doesnt seem to work. i have used my local network IP and the correct port, but i just get "this site can't be reached"

6

Did you also configure it to listen on that IP?

By default it only listens on localhost and is not accessible from external devices

if it works it will show an empty white page without warning.

If you already have entered the local network ip of your machine there, maybe a firewall is interfering?

i tried using directly from my machine and not a secondary device and even that didnt work

how can i confifure it to listen to another IP anyway ?

You can enter the ip you want it to listen on like this:

But maybe let's think about whether you really need the webserver - what are you trying to set up? As mentioned, by default it doesn't serve anything.

i gtg now ill be back tonight, thanks andreas

is it possible to use btt remote on android phones? how?

11

I think you misunderstood the previous user. While this could be achieved it would need to be coded all by yourself.

12

up until what point exaxtly ? i can ask gemini to help me if it's not something too big

13

No, this is not possible.
@Swiss mentioned you can use the webserver, and access it from Android. This is possible and can trigger BTT commands, but you need to code the whole HTML/JS interface yourself.

14

since i've no clue how big it is, could this be done with gemini ? I managed a build several alfred workflows like that, but idk how much more complex the html part is

15

Here are some examples:

You can probably get basic things working with gemini (e.g. a screen with some nice looking buttons that trigger named triggers set up in BTT or similar things)
