Remote control your RF Solutions receivers from a smart device! RIoT Control allows the end user to operate their RF Solutions receivers from anywhere via Wi-Fi using a standard handset via a smartphone app. Once your RIoT Hub or System is connected to a local Wi-Fi from the RIoT WiFi Wizard app, pair your smart device to your RIoT Hub or System and start remote switching. Using RIoT Control, you can also monitor the status of your relays in real time. This means you can see if an output has already been operated - useful if you intend on operating something you cannot see. You can select different handset button variations, from a one button handset to a 16 button controller.

RIoT Control's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
