TouchControl Universal Remote vs Nevo Smart Phone

Please get the FREE TouchControl Server (designer) app for macOS (from the Mac App Store) or Windows (at www.touchapptech.com) and try it out before purchasing this app for your iOS device to make sure that TouchControl will meet your needs. Also please note that the server/designer does *NOT* need to be running 24/7 to use TouchControl on your iOS device! With TouchControl, you can turn any iOS device into a universal network, infrared, and PC remote control! With TouchControl you can create FULLY CUSTOMIZED remote control screens for your Mac or PC, A/V and other infrared- or network-controlled devices (IMPORTANT: additional hardware required for IR control). The free Mac or Windows PC software provides user interface (remote control) design functionality, and can also optionally enable running programs, executing commands and scripts, and controlling the mouse and keyboard on your Windows computer directly from your iOS device, giving you almost unlimited control. The Windows server also natively supports the USB-UIRT for PC-based IR control. TouchControl gives you more than any other iOS remote automation app: • Direct device-to-device control of iTach and GC-100 network adapters (www.globalcache.com), iRTrans LAN adapters (www.irtrans.com), network attached A/V equipment, Keene IR Anywhere, smart bulbs and other smart appliances, and more (just about anything that's network attached)! • Integrated IR code database for Global Caché adapters.

REQUIREMENTS: A Mac or Windows PC is required to design and configure the remote control activities (screens, devices, buttons, etc.) used in TouchControl via the FREE TouchControl Server software. However, the server DOES NOT need to be running 24x7 on your network to use TouchControl on your iOS device (only required for those features that require a Mac or PC, such as running desktop commands & programs, mouse/keyboard control, screen grabber, AutoHotKey, etc.).
