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.

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. 👍✌️😊

[joostbrandes]

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

[tomasdale]

Indeed Excellent from El Salvador, in Central America, MUCHAS GRACIAS !!!!

[horizonq]

Excellent
I use Remote Desktop app.
I can do anything with my iPad, or iPhone.
Pretty easy set up.
This is very cool too.

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)

[NURFIRZANAHMOHDZAIDI]

just want to know, can we connect it with other devices? Like smartband?

[km]

Great video! Imma use that app, this is so much easier than hopping on a computer!

[ninline]

Simple and informative, very nice video.

[jif]

Thanks man, now I can let myself into my house without keys haha

[fazilelectronics]

Wow ! thanks a lot for the very informative video with the best video and audio quality.

[maximelogier]

Hi! thanks for the video! is there any ways to remotely switch on the pi?

[optimized]

Tu vídeo me ayudó mucho, saludos desde México 🇲🇽

[juleshorne]

Awesomer! We just got an RPi and you helped us set it up :)

[terryhayward]

Remote start for my car from my phone on a cold day, nice.

[thashinihansika]

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

[akashkucharlapati]

Very nice explanation and excellent app
Worked for

[MFJLabs]

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?

[LetsCalculateSomething]

Can I set the same thing up on a pico W?

[krosamont]

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
