Easy Remote for TiVo vs Bit Switch

Easy Remote allows you to control your TiVo using your iPhone. You can navigate the guide, setup recordings, and play your stored shows. To get started, press the menu button (3 horizontal lines icon) at the top left of the screen. Please note that you must be connected to the same network as your TiVo box. Features - An easy to use and convenient button layout - QWERTY input by pressing the keyboard button - Automatic DVR device discovery A TiVo Series 3 or later is required. To connect, you will need to enable Network Remote Control. To enable Network Remote Control, go to MENU->SETTINGS->REMOTE & DEVICES -> NETWORK REMOTE CONTROL. From this menu, enable network-based remote controls. You will also need your IP address. The app is able to automatically detect the IP address when adding a new device. The IP address can also be obtained by going to MENU->SETTINGS->NETWORK SETTINGS. The IP address will be shown on the right side of the screen.

Bit Switch provides fast, private, and reliable local control for legacy WeMo devices — no cloud required. Discover devices on your local network, control switches and dimmers, view energy usage from Insight plugs, receive motion sensor state, and provision Wi‑Fi securely using AES-encrypted credentials for device setup. Full device support: switches, dimmers, light switches, Insight energy plugs, motion sensors, outdoor plugs, Maker devices, and bridges. Robust discovery: SSDP/UPnP discovery with M‑SEARCH reliable on-network detection. Secure provisioning: built-in Wi‑Fi setup with AES-128-CBC password encryption to keep credentials private during device configuration. Reliable control: improved GetBinaryState / SetBinaryState handling with clear status and error reporting. Usability: streamlined Wi‑Fi setup dialog, password visibility toggle, and status indicators for connection and handshake. Appearance: supports dark mode and refined themes for a modern, readable UI. Why Bit Switch Local-first: device discovery and control happen on your network — no cloud required or used for device control. Privacy-focused: provisioning uses AES encryption; credentials are never sent to external services. Practical: works with a wide range of legacy Belkin WeMo hardware still in the wild. What's New Improved SSDP/UPnP discovery for more reliable on-network detection. Enhanced Wi‑Fi provisioning flow with AES-128-CBC encryption of passwords. UI improvements: clearer Wi‑Fi setup flow, better error messages, and password visibility toggle. Better state handling for GetBinaryState / SetBinaryState calls. Dark mode and theme refinements. Compatibility & Privacy Devices and phone must be on the same Wi‑Fi network. Router must allow UDP multicast for SSDP discovery. Wi‑Fi scanning requires location permission; permissions are requested at runtime and used only for scanning and provisioning. No cloud account required; local network control only.
