In this we will remotely control a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Board (any Raspberry Pi board can work) using a mobile phone. There are many many ways to use your mobile phone to remotely control and manage any Raspberry Pi and one of the best options out there to date is the application RaspController. You can find it in the Google Play Store. If you are running an apple device SimplePi is the IOS equivalent of this App. Once linked with the Raspberry Pi (which I demonstrate exactly how to do so) this application will allow you to control every GPIO port, execute scripts on the Raspberry Terminal remotely, create one click terminal command shortcuts, view video from a connected camera, view data from different sensors, access all the files/folders and safely turn off or restart the Pi all from your phone! And it even has full Raspberry Pi Sense HAT compatibility a long with a whole bunch of other sensors too. It also provides CPU speed and temperatures so you can keep track of the operation of your Raspberry Pi Boards remotely. All of these features we take a quick look at setting up and the UI. This will be connecting to your Raspberry Pi through SSH (secure shell) which is by default turned off and can be switched on using the Raspberry Pi Configuration menu. When doing turning on SSH make sure to change the default Raspberry Pi password which I show how to do from the Raspberry Pi desktop.

Thanks man, you answered all of my questions that several weeks I passed my time for find a solution. Wonderful and clear explaination.
Excellent
I use Remote Desktop app.
I can do anything with my iPad, or iPhone.
Pretty easy set up.
This is very cool too.
Simple and informative, very nice video.
This is an excellent tutorial on RaspController. I can't wait to stay playing with it. I've got 4 Raspberry Pi running everything from home Automation, PiHole, Media Servers, and Security systems.
I currently use RDP to access them from a Windows computer that works excellent, but this is over the edge interesting. Thanks for this great video. 👍✌️😊
I'm glad you dig it 🙂 and sounds like you have a formidable Raspberry Pi system, RaspController will definitely help you control them on the go
Awesomer! We just got an RPi and you helped us set it up :)
Indeed Excellent !!!!! from El Salvador, in Central America, MUCHAS GRACIAS !!!!
I just got a new raspberry pi and as a noob this was a very informative video, very clear explanation, thank you very much for this video
My pleasure 😊 hope this helps you hit the ground running. Come check out our Raspberry Pi Workshop too - core-electronics.com.au/tutorials/raspberry-pi-workshop-for-beginners.html
Great video! Imma use that app, this is so much easier than hopping on a computer!
Cheers mate, glad you dig it!
Hi! thanks for the video! is there any ways to remotely switch on the pi?
Wow ! thanks a lot for the very informative video with the best video and audio quality.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic video!
Great info thanks.
Great video! Looking for a way to be able to use an Android device as touchscreen input/display output for the Pi over WiFi. So is there any way to view the Pi desktop or run an app on the Pi with touchscreen input capability using RaspController or any other method you're aware of if not?
amazing nicely explained
Great content this. Probably already asked, but I have a couple of questions:
1. Source code for the app, I would like to modify it for a sensor I am developing
2. How do I control the Pi when its not on the network as the phone (example: I am at my office and would like to control my Pi, which is at home)
Hey mate big thanks.
You can use port forwarding through your router which will let you access your Raspberry Pi over the internet. Make sure to change the default Username and Password of your Raspberry Pi to keep your security high.
And I wish it was fully open-source but the team at RaspController hasn't taken the plunge yet, here is the official updates list - forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=158753#:~:text=Re%3A%20%5BAndroid%20App%20FREE%5D%20RaspController,-Mon%20Jan%2023&text=Sorry%2C%20this%20app%20is%20free%20but%20not%20opensource.&text=www.gallinaettore.com-,The%20instructions%20to%20ignore%20malware%20warning%20are%20disturbing.,because%20it%20sends%20SSH%20commands.
Excellent tutorial, It is so helpful.
Thank you hey 😊
As I said if the camera is being used it wont be able to open. A way around this is to have a USB camera hooked up that isn't being used for a process on the pi. This way you can see what's going on. Unfortunately most of my pi's with camera (pi camera) are Pi Zero W so I have tested it with higher pi models like Pi 3 and Pi4.
Tu vídeo me ayudó mucho, saludos desde México 🇲🇽
hey hey me alegro de que haya ayudado! Mantente cómodo 😊
Very nice explanation and excellent app
Worked for me.....
Cheers mate!
Excellent vid man. RaspController looks too good to be free. haha
About to build our first RPi project. Will this work with a RPi Zero W?
Cheers! And it absolutely will mate 🙂
Thanks man, now I can let myself into my house without keys haha
Fantastic tutorial. I didn't know this was possible. How are you controlling the servos by just connection to IO pins?
Glad you liked it mate 🙂 and do I have the tutorial for you! Check right here - core-electronics.com.au/tutorials/control-servo-raspberry-pi.html
@@Core-Electronics Thank you!
Can this also be done with SBUS servos?
@@Core-Electronics Great tutorial! That's much easier than I expected.
All good mate 😊 and I'm sure you can control SBUS servos via Raspberry Pi
Remote start for my car from my phone on a cold day, nice.
Aww mate I'd love to see this 😄
@@Core-Electronics Now I guess I have to build it 😁
Very nice presentation. Rasp looks great, but what I want to do is basically the same, but over a cellular connection so that I am not dependent upon a network connection. Is there some way to get an IP link over a cell connection so that this could run at arbitrary distance?
Thanks mate, you can definitely use port forwarding with a router so that you can access your Raspberry Pi more remotely. However my understanding with using RaspController is that it won't work over cellular connection.
You are able to provide cellular connection to a Raspberry Pi Board via a HAT (linked here core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/SPX-18018) which you can then use to access your Raspberry Pi Headlessly and Remotely. Just make sure to change the default username and password.
@@Core-Electronics Hey thanks! That gives me somewhere to start. I want to mount camera, sensors, etc on a scale RV off-road vehicle or tank so it can creep around the woods behind house and spy on the wildlife in the dark. But that would put it out of range of wifi in a few meters.
Cool!
Hi I need to enter some numerical values in variables to the raspberry pi through the mobile which will control a few servo motors. Can i use this for that. if so how
Very Nice Video Go A Head
Seeing the same thing with the Arduino would be legit!
Great video, thank you! I have a question about Raspberry pi. Is it possible to install a client app? What I want to say is: Can you start your Raspberry detect it through the bluetooth with your phone and then install the wifi (just like the smart led). I don't know if i am clear enough? Do you have articles recommendation for me please? Thank you
Come pop us a message on our forum 🙂 that way we can get our whole team to help you.
@@Core-Electronics thx a lot!
Is there any way you can control it when on Mobile Data? Or on another WiFi Network other than my own? Whenever I try to control it on Mobile Data or another WiFi Network it says Connection Error Unreachable Host?
I want to make project of unlocking the door automatically by face recognition and if an unknown person comes it should give an alert message along with the photo of the person and if we want to allow them, we should control that opening through phone. Is that control of allowing can be done with this raspberry pi mobile app? can you please clarify my doubt and help me out in this project
Thanks a lot! Can you make a video where you can control the gpio outputs with a google home?
Thats a great idea mate! Here is a resource to help you in the interim - developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/guides/service/python
can I use to send a video stream to my phone
Great app, is it developed by you ? Thanks, I needed that.
The Clever Italians put this software together, I just love what they've created. Specifically its was Egal Net di Ettore Gallina, you can find out more here - www.gallinaettore.com/android_apps/raspcontroller/
Thanks man. You really helped me. but when i created a command to run the object detection code who works perfectly on my RPi, i recieve an error about cv2.imshow("Output",img). (error: Can't initialize GTK backend in function 'cvInitSystem'). Do you know how to solve it?
It may be because your SSHing into the system thus it doesn't have an opportunity to create a graphical UI which the GTK library is expecting to affect. If you VNC (I would recommend using RealVNC) into the system you shouldn't run into issues
@@Core-Electronics I appreciate your help. But how can i use RealVNC into the system. I didn't get it. Thank you.
If I wanted to use it in a greater range, for example, 10 km from my raspberry Pi, would this still work? Pd: Nice video :D
Cheers mate, if you jump into the article it talks about creating a Port Forwarding Rule which you can use to increase your range dramatically. Make sure to change the default password though to keep your security high
Is it possible to remotely control a laptop via Raspberry Pi from another country?
I'm new to Raspberry Pi and thinking to buy it to remotely control my home laptop while I'm abroad.
I would like to ask if its possible to controle it fully remotely with stable internet connection? and if I would have an online meeting at my home laptop, could I attend that meeting via my laptop that I take with me abroad if my home laptop is connected to Raspberry Pi at home?
hello- how do I create a command on my simple pi app to open and play a vlc video on my raspberry pi 4? thank you for the help i am NOT computer person
Does this work with the Raspberry Pi Pico?
amazing app and very informative video, btw you're so cute XD
Haha, thank you and your the best!
Hi what if I want to control rasp pi gpio and sensor display. Remotely (different wifi ip address and device)
This is an amazing app. Even the free version. It actually will install software it needs to the pi to use certain features. I especially love I can turn on my camera a watch what's going on. Be aware if the camera is in use it won't allow access.
Hi could you please tell me if I wanna add on my rassberry pi audio option and wanna view data in a mobile app,Can I realise it with raspcontroller?? Also when I created a button( such as to open or Close the garage door) with raspcontroller,can I integrate that button function inanother app?
Give Volumio software an explore. That may just sort your needs without needing to create a new App.
Link to software can be found here - volumio.com/en/
It works also the same on raspi zero 2w?
It should work on all the Raspberry Pi single board computers, including the Zero 2W!
What is the software th at you are using to control the access of the ressberry pie
To enable or disable at time 1:23 min of the vedio
That's just the Raspberry Pi Configuration, it should come already installed with your Pi OS
Very useful, I guess it uses internet, do you know how can I control it remotely using Bluetooth?
If your interested in doing it through Bluetooth the Blue Dot App is worth a look
Will that app work for a camera connected to a Pi Zero W?
It definitely will 😊
@@Core-Electronics cool, thank you
@@Core-Electronics it works on a pi 3?
Definitely mate! Sorry for not getting to you sooner, have a Merry Christmas.
what is the range of communication? Could someone control a raspberry pi from miles away?
If you are looking to access the Raspberry Pi from outside your local network, you will need to set up a port forwarding rule on your home. Then you can control it anywhere with internet connection! Give this guy a check - th-cam.com/video/AFeye1zLpFo/w-d-xo.html
Very nice video Tim !! I am interested in the Arduino version app as well... AND I would like to be able to connect a cellular sim card to my device.. In essence, I would like to create a phone connected plug. managed remotely.
Cheers mate and excellent ideas! If you are interested in a 4G connected Raspberry Pi board check this guide here. core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-4g-gps-hat/
hello, sorry I can't speak English. I'm using google translate. I want to ask, is it possible to display temperature, humidity, camera, GPIO switch on/off in 1 page? please give me the tutorial, thanks 🙏🙏🙏
Can I set the same thing up on a pico W?
Not exactly the same. But you can get the Pico W to create a Webpage with buttons that you can access from your phone. My mate Michael did it to control his Garage door, come check it out here - core-electronics.com.au/projects/wifi-garage-door-controller-with-raspberry-pi-pico-w-smart-home-project/
@@Core-Electronics - thanks, but want to control from anywhere, not just my home LAN
Port Forwarding on your Router is the ticket to making that a reality.
Hello! I tried doing the same method but the app say “timeout, socket not established” may I know what does it mean? And how I could fix it?
Double-check both your Raspberry Pi and Mobile Phone are on the same WiFi. You may also get better results by increasing the Timeout Value when you initially set up the Pi. Also make sure that you have correctly type the username and password for the Raspberry Pi.
That App is great I use it to turn off my Raspberry Pi and then I use a Smart Plug to completely turn off my Raspberry Pi and I also use the Smart Plug to turn on my Raspberry Pi but make sure you turn it off using the RaspController App before you turn off the Smart Plug because if you don't you can possibly mess up the Raspberry Pi because that would be turning it off the wrong way.
Totally excellent! 😊
U R amazzing!
Thanks to you I automate my chickans door!
Thank you, glad you found the guide useful.
bro i dont have hdmi monitor i cant even flash it a os. can i give me solution? do i need mini hdmi converter to connect on hdmi display (
If you have a separate computer that can flash a SD card then you'll be able to do it all headlessly and connect to your Raspberry Pi remotely through SSH to set things up. Here is a guide explaining how - core-electronics.com.au/guides/how-to-connect-to-raspberry-pi-3A-plus-remotely-using-ssh/
brother dose it need usb 2.0 port or usb 3.0?
lots of time my usb boot has been failed i tried a lots of time to flash my micro sd card.
i tried to verify my sd card speed to run a os compability ; its exactly appropriate to run a os.
like 100+ mbps 64 gb sd card. from a real brand. San Disk.
then i tried to see what os and petition i have. then i figured out a problem.
i use windows
64 bit architecture.
o have complex partition table of 2 Hard disk. one is SSD, and another is M2.
both hdd run 2 different os.
and both have complex logical partition.
so that my usb burning mechanism messing with me.
if its true.
i need solution bro
brother your guided webpage saya i need to connect a monitor. which is my main problem. i cant to conmect a monitor.
i have back to back hdmi cable.
which provides hdmi mini/micro male port to regular size HDMI 2.0/3.0 male cable.
i brought a hdmi + voga port Monitor.
but the monitor didnt work. i Didn't re check the hdmi port of the monitor second time.
so im thinking what the root of my problem.
first i cant boot and and i cant also project the monitor.
do i need a usb card reader 3.0?
or a hdmi converter?
if i have hdmi converter/adapter how do i measurement the hdmi male female.
do i need a extension of a back to back hdmi cable?
if i have problem with my os partition.
can i switch back and try all the things from linux?
Hi. Is it possible to control OAK d camera with the raspcontroller app. I am trying to do so. but it's not working. also, my USB camera option can not reading the address. Can you please help me? Is there another way(email) to communicate with you.
The best way to get help from us is definitely our Forum (that way you can include photos of your set up 😊 forum.core-electronics.com.au/.
I see no reason why it wouldn't work, RaspController is an excellent way to start/stop Python Scripts.
Is that applicable for gaming
If your running RetroPie (or other similar systems) over the top of Raspberry Pi you can still control the Raspberry Pi with RaspController.
Can the mobile hotspot be used?
Absolutely, in fact I used my phone's hotspot to shoot this video.
For me it didn`t work!@@Core-Electronics

Hey buddy, you mean something like this? core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/ADA1824
is there a way to turn on/off the raspberry pi Camara wirelessly?
Definitely, if you are operating the Raspberry Pi headlessly you can disable and enable the camera whenever you want.
You can even do it using terminal commands via RaspController - Type and enter | sudo raspi-config | and navigate to the Interfacing options to find the Camera settings
@@Core-Electronics woah that’s AWSOME! Thank you!
Who ❤️ my comment? Wow it’s been a while
Hi, may I know if I am able to blink LEDs on the app as well? As of now I am only able to turn on and off the LED. If that is not posible may I know any alternative apps that may help to blink the LEDs on the phone? Thank you!!
In this app you definitely should be able to blink the LED. Otherwise you can create a Python Script on your Raspberry Pi (that will do the blinking) and you can use RaspController to run this script through the terminal. Hope that helps 🙂
Think this might be it.
Permission Denied, please try again. Nope, can't log in. Changed the password several times on the pi. Have the IP address from both the Router Page and the Pi itself (hostname -I) and both give the same IP. Login with the IP and the password (I was just able to change on the Pi and still getting error messages about Permission Denied. This with the OS App. Just deleted it. I'll try Android App.
The Android App will definitely work, the iOS version is very new so there could be some teething bugs or issues which is what you are dealing with.
Only Android ? Is there an iOS Iphone version ?
SimplePi is the iOS App equivalent with most of the features talked about here, I talk about it on the article page
7:25 how do i do that anyone pls help
I assume this doesnt work if you are not on the same network?
It is possible to access your Pi remotely but you will need to configure a static public IP (or a DynDns service) and configure the appropriate Port Forwarding on your router. But that is not covered in this guide.
Im losing my mind here. All i want is something like this but not over wifi. Maybe bluetooth? I want to be able to connect to my pi over bluetooth then set a network to connect to if im not at home
👏🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾👍🏾👌🏽😇
Great tutorial. Is there a way to control the pi over 3g/cellular? Seems raspcontroller and simplepi both require being on the same network.
bad ass
The Android version of the app crushes the IOS one out of the gate.
I'm loosing my mind looking for a normal video of the same idea, only from external internet (meaning, not via WiFi). Grrrr.
Mobile network are totally possible on a Raspberry Pi, come check this out - core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-4g-gps-hat/
You'll be able to control your set up anywhere on the globe with this set up properly 😊
