Topic: Can app autodetect Arduino on the same LAN?

Hi, I would create a very user friendly way to control an arduino board, no setup needed, just download the app from the store, the app will search for Arduino devices running RemoteXY (by broadcast packets) and identify him/them, show results on app, tap on the desidered device and see already the page with his controls. In my case I need only one button.

Does  RemoteXY do that zero config search? Is  RemoteXY a paid software? Thank you for answer

The RemoteXY allows you to connect boards using different communication methods.
The device search is not performed automatically. You must start it manually. You can do this using the QR code.
The application is paid if your graphical interface has more than 5 elements.

Thank you for your kind answer,
as I understood, the QR code tells how to connect, so it needs an internet connection for it yes? And by internet connection you load into phone the graphic and assing the functions. Is your full system working with cloud? Why you added then WiFi and bluetooth connection to your app? How they can be useful?

As youwrite your own app, where you can design graphics inside the app, you just need to store in Arduino the objects, ID and their position on layout, few bytes and internet doesn't need. Schetch should contain WiFi name and password, it auto connects and listen for broadcast, reply to it and address the app how to design dashboard. This process doesn't need internet or QR, and your app will result extremely friendly and fast to use in every phone on the same LAN. Projects like this are useful for compatibility with many users that can control the Arduino easy.

Perhaps you haven't studied how RemoteXY works. What you write is exactly how RemoteXY works. The QR code does not contain any links or redirect data to or from the Internet. The graphical interface is entirely stored on the board side. The QR code contains a link to the application itself and you can install it if you do not have it yet. The QR code also contains connection data. If it is Bluetooth, the QR code contains the name Bluetooth and nothing more.
