Background

About OpenRGB Remote

OpenRGB Remote is an unofficial Android client for OpenRGB. OpenRGB manages the RGB lighting of keyboards, fans, mainboards and LED strips on your PC – this app connects to it over your network, so you can see and control everything from the couch.

The protocol is implemented from scratch based on the public SDK documentation and tested against captures from a real OpenRGB 1.0 server. No OpenRGB code is used, and the app is not an official OpenRGB project.

Status: connections, network scan, device list, detail view and onboarding are done. Color control, profiles and effects are next.
