Interesting find. I had been looking for an app like this for some time now but never ran across a working one. Did you actually get this writing with a PPM, or any other devices for that matter?
So far, I can pair my phone as “input device” with the left-right half arrows device type icon ( like the AirMote has). However, I cannot go beyond pairing and actually connect. Tried it in normal and in Los energy mode on the phone, same results.
I sent a message to the app developer, might be a problem with Android 10 on my phone.
I’ll also test this with some other raspbian and Ubuntu devices I have that will give me more troubleshooting info to work with.
Are you guys at Philips planning to add a working remote app like the “Nebula” one?
i found one on app store but seems like it is not being updated since ever!
Ever since my laptop keyboard went dead, I used the Unified Remote app on my phone, to type and control my laptop. Despite the strangeness to use my phone to input/control my laptop, daily input/control tasks are just as easy.
The interface in the phone is very easy to get used to.
The keyboard is the default keyboard the phone uses, so typing is pretty easy.
There are also other remote interface for Media player, Screen mirroring, touchpad, numberpad. Which I find really user-friendly for most tasks
It is not easy too use the touchpad on the PPM letter by letter, if we can go so like how we swipe around on the phone, it will be awesome.
If PPM has similar functions as Unified Remote, allowing us to use our mobile phone as keyboard/touchpad etc as input, it will provide much convenience.
I’m not technically inclined, in Windows, a Unified Remote software also needs to be installed and paired for the very first time use. Not use if it is possible doing the same in Android.
I was wishing for something like this yesterday as well while I was setting up the projector. Would love to have something like this, though I’m sure developing such an app would not be a small undertaking.
Hi @Dedohamdy@smartygus you can use any Bluetooth remote / mouse / keyboard with the PicoPix Max. As far as I know Android 9 and above let you use your phone as a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse. This should work fine the PicoPix Max too.
it exists already a Philips’ app (findable on iOS App Store, for exemple), but it doesn’t work with PPM (it is for older Philips videoprojectors, when it wasn’t Screeneo which built these equipments for Philips) ;
During this time, you can use as @Philips_Support_P just said physical equipments as keyboards, mouses, trackballs, trackpads, combo, etc… in bluetooth or with a dongle plugged in the USB-A slot.
