Control Your Raspberry Pi Remotely Using Your Phone | RaspController

[@aramroshani6197]

Thanks man, you answered all of my questions that several weeks I passed my time for find a solution. Wonderful and clear explaination.

[@PCman50]

This is an excellent tutorial on RaspController. I can't wait to stay playing with it. I've got 4 Raspberry Pi running everything from home Automation, PiHole, Media Servers, and Security systems. I currently use RDP to access them from a Windows computer that works excellent, but this is over the edge interesting. Thanks for this great video. 👍✌️😊

[@Core-Electronics]

I'm glad you dig it 🙂 and sounds like you have a formidable Raspberry Pi system, RaspController will definitely help you control them on the go

[@joostbrandes]

I just got a new raspberry pi and as a noob this was a very informative video, very clear explanation, thank you very much for this video

Can I set the same thing up on a pico W?

[@Core-Electronics]

Not exactly the same. But you can get the Pico W to create a Webpage with buttons that you can access from your phone. My mate Michael did it to control his Garage door, come check it out here - core-electronics.com.au/projects/wifi-garage-door-controller-with-raspberry-pi-pico-w-smart-home-project/

[@petercoates2882]

Very nice presentation. Rasp looks great, but what I want to do is basically the same, but over a cellular connection so that I am not dependent upon a network connection. Is there some way to get an IP link over a cell connection so that this could run at arbitrary distance?

[@Core-Electronics]

Thanks mate, you can definitely use port forwarding with a router so that you can access your Raspberry Pi more remotely. However my understanding with using RaspController is that it won't work over cellular connection. You are able to provide cellular connection to a Raspberry Pi Board via a HAT (linked here core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/SPX-18018) which you can then use to access your Raspberry Pi Headlessly and Remotely. Just make sure to change the default username and password.

[@petercoates2882]

@@Core-Electronics Hey thanks! That gives me somewhere to start. I want to mount camera, sensors, etc on a scale RV off-road vehicle or tank so it can creep around the woods behind house and spy on the wildlife in the dark. But that would put it out of range of wifi in a few meters.

Great content this. Probably already asked, but I have a couple of questions: 1. Source code for the app, I would like to modify it for a sensor I am developing 2. How do I control the Pi when its not on the network as the phone (example: I am at my office and would like to control my Pi, which is at home)

[@Core-Electronics]

Hey mate big thanks. You can use port forwarding through your router which will let you access your Raspberry Pi over the internet. Make sure to change the default Username and Password of your Raspberry Pi to keep your security high. And I wish it was fully open-source but the team at RaspController hasn't taken the plunge yet, here is the official updates list - forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=158753#:~:text=Re%3A%20%5BAndroid%20App%20FREE%5D%20RaspController,-Mon%20Jan%2023&text=Sorry%2C%20this%20app%20is%20free%20but%20not%20opensource.&text=www.gallinaettore.com-,The%20instructions%20to%20ignore%20malware%20warning%20are%20disturbing.,because%20it%20sends%20SSH%20commands.

[@Core-Electronics]

It may be because your SSHing into the system thus it doesn't have an opportunity to create a graphical UI which the GTK library is expecting to affect. If you VNC (I would recommend using RealVNC) into the system you shouldn't run into issues

[@manoubilahbib2572]

[@jiayee2732]

Hello! I tried doing the same method but the app say “timeout, socket not established” may I know what does it mean? And how I could fix it?

[@Core-Electronics]

Double-check both your Raspberry Pi and Mobile Phone are on the same WiFi. You may also get better results by increasing the Timeout Value when you initially set up the Pi. Also make sure that you have correctly type the username and password for the Raspberry Pi.

The best way to get help from us is definitely our Forum (that way you can include photos of your set up 😊 forum.core-electronics.com.au/. I see no reason why it wouldn't work, RaspController is an excellent way to start/stop Python Scripts.

If you have a separate computer that can flash a SD card then you'll be able to do it all headlessly and connect to your Raspberry Pi remotely through SSH to set things up. Here is a guide explaining how - core-electronics.com.au/guides/how-to-connect-to-raspberry-pi-3A-plus-remotely-using-ssh/

[@Core-Electronics]

In this app you definitely should be able to blink the LED. Otherwise you can create a Python Script on your Raspberry Pi (that will do the blinking) and you can use RaspController to run this script through the terminal. Hope that helps 🙂

[@akirathehun]

Great tutorial. Is there a way to control the pi over 3g/cellular? Seems raspcontroller and simplepi both require being on the same network.

[@cjlowe1650]

As I said if the camera is being used it wont be able to open. A way around this is to have a USB camera hooked up that isn't being used for a process on the pi. This way you can see what's going on. Unfortunately most of my pi's with camera (pi camera) are Pi Zero W so I have tested it with higher pi models like Pi 3 and Pi4.

[@mmshilleh]

I assume this doesnt work if you are not on the same network?

[@Core-Electronics]

It is possible to access your Pi remotely but you will need to configure a static public IP (or a DynDns service) and configure the appropriate Port Forwarding on your router. But that is not covered in this guide.

[@tfmg8223]

is there a way to turn on/off the raspberry pi Camara wirelessly?

[@Core-Electronics]

Definitely, if you are operating the Raspberry Pi headlessly you can disable and enable the camera whenever you want.
