What you need

  • RemoteRelay Companion for Android, available on Google Play, and a Pro or Ultimate plan for Companion features.
  • A computer with RemoteRelay and the actions you want to control configured.
  • For Companion's local remote, the phone and computer must be on the same Wi-Fi network. For Alexa or Home Assistant, configure its app and integration.

Getting started

  1. Download RemoteRelay Companion from Google Play and sign in with your RemoteRelay account.
  2. Connect your phone to the same Wi-Fi network as the computer and pair from Integrations > Mobile App in the desktop app.
  3. Select your computer and test power, inputs, volume, channels and playback. Configure your application sources on the desktop.
  4. If you prefer Home Assistant or Alexa, configure its integration and check the controls in its app before creating automations.

Choose an Android control path

Companion is RemoteRelay's own remote. Alexa and Home Assistant are separate paths: their apps display devices and entities published by RemoteRelay with their own controls and permissions.

You do not need Matter for the dedicated Home Assistant integration or Alexa skill. Google Home through Matter remains experimental; first check that it exposes your required action.

Compatibility and limits

Companion's remote works on the local network. Wake-on-LAN requires compatible hardware and network configuration. Access away from home depends on the integration you choose. Check Google Play for device requirements; Android availability does not imply parity with iOS-specific features.

Test the action on your computer before including it in a routine. Available plans and features are detailed in the portal.
