HTWebRemote Documentation

This document explains how to use the HTWebRemote control software.
The basic idea is that HTWebRemote runs in the background and commands can be sent to it from any device that can load a web URL.

You must allow port {port}/TCP incoming on the PC that is running this software in order for the remote UI to function.
The software takes care of this firewall rule for you the first time you run it.

There are 3 main modes of operation for HTWebRemote.

Operation Modes

Supported Devices

Jump to Supported Devices

Remote Control Webpage Builder

This is the main mode of operation that most people will use.
The idea of this mode is for you to build remote control layouts with buttons (in this program's editor) and assign one or more commands to each button.
Then you will open the remote control most likely on your phone or tablet to press the buttons.

The URL of your remote control will be here: http://{BASEIP}:{port}

File Browser

In the web page interface, there is also a file browser feature.
The purpose of this feature is for you to add folder paths to it, and then you will be able to browse these folder paths from your phone or tablet to easily select media to play.

The URL of your file browser will be here: http://{BASEIP}:{port}/FB

YouTube Browser

Also included in the web page mode of operation is a YouTube browser and video launching feature.
You can copy and paste a YouTube link or browse YouTube by search phrase and easily send the YouTube video to play on your HTPC in a browser or even send the YouTube video to your media player such as MPC-HC/BE or VLC.

Voice Commands

The Voice Command manager allows you to define voice commands that when spoken, can trigger HTWebRemote commands. This is a completely offline service and is very fast.
Voice commands are also only supported by HTWebRemote when running on Windows, and it uses the audio input device that is set to the default in Windows.

You can set a confidence value for each voice command that can help fine-tune the sensitivity to triggering.
There is a "Test Mode" provided that can help you determine the optimal confidence value to set, by showing you what the confidence value is when you speak one of the commands phrases.

Global Hotkeys

The Global Hotkeys manager allows you to define global hotkeys, that when pressed in Windows, can trigger HTWebRemote commands.
Global meaning the hotkey will be triggered no matter what application is running or has keyboard focus.

This feature works well with a FLIRC USB IR reciever.
Using a FLIRC allows you to use any random button on any random IR remote control to generate hotkey presses in Windows, and thus trigger any HTWebRemote commands.

Mobile "WebApp" Mode

Consider adding your remote control page to the home screen of your phone or tablet.
This will give you more vertical space to see your remote control buttons and also give you a nice App icon to quickly access your remote control.

If you don't know how to do this, just do a web search for how to add a web page to your home screen for either iPhone or Android.

Siri and Apple Widgets Integration

To learn how to create Siri voice commands to send any HTWebRemote command or macro (on iPhone/iPad/AppleWatch/HomePod),
or to create native homescreen Widget buttons (on iPhone/iPad/AppleWatch), see this wiki page.


Command Line Mode

This mode allows you to issue commands by running HTWebRemote.exe with command line parameters without HTWebRemote running in the background.

To do this, run HTWebRemote.exe from the windows command line or a .bat file and pass in the device, command, and parameter values to send.
This can be useful to send commands to your home theater devices from other software that can run a command line operation or .bat script such as madVR or Kodi when an event happens.

Command Line Format 1

HTWebRemote.exe "IP" "devtype" "cmd" "param" "special(specialData)"

Example Command Line Format 1 Usage:

HTWebRemote.exe "192.168.1.100" "jvc" "PMLP" "1" "special(NZpassword)"

This command consists of 5 parameters:

Command Line Format 2

HTWebRemote.exe "devname" "cmd" "param"

Example Command Line Format 2 Usage:

To use this format, first you need to configure your device in the "Configure Devices" screen.

HTWebRemote.exe "myjvc" "PMLP" "1"

This command consists of 3 parameters:


URL Command API

This mode allows you to easily issue commands from other computers or devices on your network or to send commands from another software program as an API into HTWebRemote.

URL Command Format 1

http://{BASEIP}:{port}?ip=ip&devtype=devtype&cmd=command&param=param&special=specialData

This URL command consists of 5 query strings:

URL Command Format 2

http://{BASEIP}:{port}?devname=devname&cmd=command&param=param

To use this format, first you need to configure your device in the "Configure Devices" screen.

This URL command consists of 3 query strings:


Directly Supported Devices

HTWebRemote supports several devices, but I would like to add more.
Please leave a comment on GitHub or one of the other discussion pages for the app and let me know what device you would like to see supported.
I will likely need a person with access to the device to help test in order to add new devices.

I also welcome others to contribute more device support via GitHub.

Before you can start adding device commands to a remote control, you will need to add its IP address and port number (for some devices) to the device configuration file.
On the configuration screen you will also give your devices a name so that you can specify multiple of the same device type with different IP addresses.
There is a link from the main application screen for this.

Unofficially Supported Devices (Tested Working by the Community)

HTWebRemote can support controlling a lot of other devices through generic control methods such as generic TCP/UDP sockets and HTTP REST APIs.
The following page is a list of devices that users have successfully controlled with HTWebRemote.

Other Device Support

Windows / Linux Control

For Windows / Linux control, the device identifier is: pc

The intended use of the PC control is to run scripts or applications.
You will have to use your imagination for what you can all do with a script or external application.

Windows Control

For Windows, the path to a .bat script or .exe can be specified by absolute path or by a relative path to HTWebRemote.exe
Please be aware that .bat files and .exe files are case sensitive when calling them from your commands.
You can also use a subfolder inside the same folder as HTWebRemote.exe such as a folder called "scripts" and call it as "scripts/script.bat" in the cmd. Finally, you can also specify other file types in the cmd, and HTWebRemote will open that file with the default program you have assigned to that file type in Windows.

You can also control the Windows volume with the PC control. See the Example section below for the list of volume commands.

Some .bat Script Example Ideas

(Put the following code inside a .bat file):

Start a program (like Kodi)
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi\kodi.exe"

Close a program (like Kodi)
taskkill /IM kodi.exe

Shutdown PC
shutdown /s /t 0

Loop a Command (set Denon/Marantz volume to -10dB, then increase by 0.5dB every 5 seconds 20 times)
HTWebRemote.exe "dm" "MV70"
FOR /L %%A IN (1,1,20) DO (
HTWebRemote.exe "dm" "MVUP"
timeout /t 5
)

Windows Volume Control Commands
Windows Volume Query Command

Linux Control

For Linux, simply enter the full linux command line command into the cmd box.
You must use the full path to the script or program.
The command can include parameters and everything and any command "should" work.


Keyboard Hotkey Control

For keyboard hotkey control, the device identifier is: keys

Keyboard hotkey control is for simulating key presses to programs running on the PC that HTWebRemote is running on, with the intention to control those applications.

Key Parameter Formats

To specify a single keyboard character, use the character itself. For example, to press the letter A, pass in the character "A" as the cmd without quotes.
To represent more than one character, append each additional character to the one preceding it. To press the letters A, B, and C, specify the parameter as "ABC" as the cmd without the quotes.

The plus sign (+), caret (^), percent sign (%), tilde (~), and parentheses () have special meanings. To press one of these keys, enclose it within braces ({}).
For example, to press the plus sign, use "{+}". To press brace characters, use "{{}" and "{}}". Brackets ([ ]) have no special meaning, but you must enclose them in braces too.

To specify characters that aren't displayed when you press a key, such as ENTER or TAB, and keys that represent actions rather than characters, use the codes in the following list.

To specify keys combined with any combination of the SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keys, precede the key code with one or more of the following words.

To specify that any combination of SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT should be held down while several other keys are pressed, enclose the code for those keys in parentheses.
For example, to specify to hold down SHIFT while E and C are pressed, use "shift(EC)". To specify to hold down SHIFT while E is pressed, followed by C without SHIFT, use "shiftEC".

To specify repeating keys, use the form {key #}. You must put a space between key and number. For example, {LEFT 42} means press the LEFT ARROW key 42 times; {h 10} means press H 10 times.

Key Combo Examples


Media Player Classic Control

For Media Player Classic control, the device identifier is: mpc

Media Player Classic control works with both the MPC-HC and MPC-BE variants.

To use, make sure to enable the Web Interface in MPC found in Options -> Web Interface -> enable "Listen on port:"

Then make sure to add the IP:port to the device IPs configuration in HTWebRemote.

MPC Commands


Kodi Media Player Control

For Kodi Media Player control, the device identifier is: kodi

In order to control Kodi, you need to allow remote control via HTTP.

This setting can be found in Settings -> Services -> Control -> Allow remote control via HTTP

If you enable "Require authentication", make sure you provide the user:pass in the Device Configuration screen in HTWebRemote.

Complete list of Zoom Player network control commands.


Nvidia Shield Control

For Nvidia Shield control, the device identifier is: nvshield

Initial Setup

Before you can control your Nvidia Shield, you first need to enable "Network debugging".

To turn on "Network debugging":

Or see this video for how to enable "Network debugging"

Next, you need to install ADB (Android debug bridge) on your computer.

The first time you try to send a command to your Shield, you will get a popup message on your TV asking you to allow the PC to control your Shield.

Commands

Common Remote Buttons

Complete list of potential valid keycodes

You may find the reboot command useful in a startup or other macro button for the following reasson.

*Users have reported that if the Shield has put up its screensaver before you start Amazon Prime Video, you will only get stereo audio from the Amazon Prime Video app, not any kind of surround sound.

Launching Apps

You can open and close apps by using the included shortcut names.

cmd=start or stop
param=appname

Shortcut app names:

To start and stop apps not in the included list, the process is a little more involved.

Please make sure to launch a new app at least once before proceeding with Method 1 or Method 2.

Method 1:

The first method you can try is to get the app's package name.

cmd=start or stop
param=com.google.android.youtube.tv

For some apps, this Method 1 doesn't work. In this case use Method 2 which should work.

Method 2:

For this method you will get the app's unique start activity.

Example output from this command looks something like this:

Activity Resolver Table:
Schemes:
vnd.youtube:
4a40f75 com.google.android.youtube.tv/com.google.android.apps.youtube.tv.activity.ShellActivity filter afe9959
Action: "android.intent.action.VIEW"

The bolded part from above is the app's unique start activity. Simply paste that into the param box for a cmd=start to launch the app.

cmd=start
param=com.google.android.youtube.tv/com.google.android.apps.youtube.tv.activity.ShellActivity

cmd=stop
param=com.google.android.youtube.tv

Other Commands

You should be able to enter in any custom adb command into the cmd box that adb.exe supports.


Roku Control

For Roku control, the device identifier is: roku

Remote Commands

Enter these into the cmd box:

Some Rokus support these buttons:

You can even write words into a text box like this to write "roku"

There are even some keys you can send that are not available on any physical remote.
Enter is for completing keyboard entry fields, such as search fields (it is not the same as Select).
Search is used for pressing and holding down the microphone/magnifying glass button, which causes the Roku Voice heads-up display to listen for a voice command.

Launching Apps

To launch an app on the Roku, you will need to find the App ID or Channel ID.
You can find a list of App IDs by going to this URL in your browser:

http://ROKUIP:8060/query/apps

Examples (Enter into cmd box)

Replace the number with the cooresponding App ID of the app you want to launch.

Other Commands

You can send other commands to a Roku, but you will have to figure those out on your own from the following documentation link.

Complete Roku network control documentation.

Wemo Commands


TP-Link Kasa Smart Devices

For TP-Link Kasa control, the device identifier is: kasa

Your devices may not work if the firmware is too new (so don't update them if you can avoid it). I am not well versed in these devices but give them a try.

Some Example device models that should work:

Supported Commands

If you are looking for more control than the above supported commands, then you need to find out the raw JSON payload to send.

I would recommend installing this program (python-kasa) and using it to issue commands with the --debug parameter
This will show you what raw JSON command is being sent to the device, and you can enter that into the cmd box.

Example Raw Commands


Philips Hue Bridge

For Philips Hue Bridge control, the device identifier is: hue

Before you can send commands to your Philips Hue Bridge, you first need to authorize HTWebRemote.
To do this follow these steps:

  1. Add your Philips Hue Bridge IP to the "Configure Devices" screen.
  2. Click the "Get Hue Auth" button.
  3. Press the Link Button on your Hue Bridge, and then click the OK button on the popup in HTWebRemote.

Hue lights have a set of values that are not necessarily easy to understand.
The best way to find out what settings you want to set your lights to, is to set your lights how you like in the official Hue App first, and then print out the values of those lights in HTWebRemote.
Values can either be set for an individual light, or a group of lights. In the official Hue app, these groups of lights are called Rooms or Zones.

To view the current values of your Lights, Rooms, and Zones you can create a button in HTWebRemote with the following commands:

Once you add one of these words to a button command, you can click the "Test CMDs" button and you should see a pop-up with a list of all your lights, rooms, or zones.
From here you can click on an item to see all the properties of that item. For Lights, this shows you the ID as well as the various current settings for that light.
For Rooms and Zones, it shows you the ID as well as the available Scenes that can be activated that apply to that Room or Zone.

Oppo Disc Player

For Oppo control, the device identifier is: oppo

In order for Power ON to work, the player must have the "Quick Start" or "Network Standby" mode selected under Setup Menu / Device Setup / Standby Mode.

Some Basic Commands

For all Oppo commands, see the full Oppo command document here:
Oppo_UDP-20X.pdf


D-BOX HEMC Control

For D-BOX control, the device identifier is: dbox

Chair Commands

(Replace # with the numerical identifier of the chair (1,2,3) that you want to control)

HEMC Commands

For all D-BOX commands, see the full D-BOX command document here:
D-BOX_HEMC.pdf


HDfury Device Control

For HDfury Device control, the device identifier is: hdfury

Some basic HDfury Vertex2 Commands

HDfury device default port numbers:

For all HDfury commands, see the list of HDfury devices commands here:


MiniDSP-rs Control

For MiniDSP-rs control, the device identifier is: minidsp-rs

To control a MiniDSP device, you must set up and use the minidsp-rs service.

Before using this device control in HTWebRemote, you must enable the HTTP service in the minidsp-rs config.

To do this, open the config.toml file (located in: /etc/minidsp/config.toml on linux) and find the line: bind_address = "127.0.0.1:5380"
Change this line to: bind_address = "0.0.0.0:5380" and restart the minidsp-rs service (sudo systemctl restart minidsp).

On Windows it should already be working by default.

If you have only 1 MiniDSP, leave the Device ID set to 0 in the Device Configuration screen. Otherwise set this number to the Device ID of the MiniDSP device you wish to control.
You can view a list of all MiniDSP devices connected to minidsp-rs by going to: http://IP:5380/devices where IP is the IP of the computer running the minidsp-rs HTTP service as above.

Some basic MiniDSP-rs Commands

MiniDSP Query Command

RS232 Serial Device Control

For RS232 Serial Device control, the device identifier is: rs232

This device controller is designed to be used with any RS232 Serial device (many Home Theater devices and some which pre-date network control).

The simplest way to add this to your PC is with a USB to Serial (RS232) adapter (such as the USA-19HS) which will show up on your PC as a COM port.
If you don't see it showing up in your device manager (under Ports as a COM#), check to see if you need to install a driver from the manufacturer first.

Since this controller is generic, you must be sure to include the entire command (into the cmd box) including any beginning and end special characters.

Special Characters

You can enter these special symbols (with their brackets) into your cmd in order to send them along with the command to the device.

If you need to send other special bytes to the device (which cannot be represented by normal keyboard characters), you can enter the entire command as a series of hex values.

In order do to this you must also enter "hex" into the param box.

param = hex

I recommend using this website to convert your ASCII characters into bytes.

Assume the command you want to send is as follows.

cmd = example<CR>

The following hex list formats are allowed (enter in cmd box):


TCP Generic Control

For TCP generic control, the device identifier is: tcp

This device controller is designed to be used to send commands to any device that accepts a single plain command over a TCP/IP socket.

You can use this to control devices that HTWebRemote does not specifically have support for.

Simply enter your command to send to the device into the cmd box.

If you need to send special chracters that you can't simply enter into the cmd box, please see the Special Characters section under the RS232 Device Control.

If your device sends a sort of "welcome message" or similar message back after something connects to it, enable the "Receive Welcome Message" checkbox in the Device Configuration screen.


UDP Generic Control

For UDP generic control, the device identifier is: udp

This device controller is designed to be used to send commands to any device that accepts a single plain command over a UDP socket.

Please see the TCP Generic Control section above for instructions on how to use this device controller as it works the exact same way.


HTTP POST Requests

For HTTP POST requests, the device identifier is: httppost

This device controller is meant to be used to send simple HTTP POST requests to a server.

Example HTTP URL:

http://192.168.1.100/rest/nodes/45378/cmd/DOF

Configure the httppost device URL to be the base address: http://192.168.1.100

Then enter the rest of the URL into the cmd box:

If needed, To POST JSON content to the HTTP server at this URL, simply enter the JSON content in the param box.

If the HTTP server needs "basic" authentication, enter the username and password into the special data field as follows: If the HTTP server needs "bearer token" authentication, enter the bearer token into the special data field as follows:

HTTP PUT Requests

For HTTP PUT requests, the device identifier is: httpput

This device controller is meant to be used to send simple HTTP PUT requests to a server.

Please see the HTTP POST requests section above for instructions on how to use this device controller as it works the same way.


HTTP GET Requests

For HTTP GET requests, the device identifier is: httpget

This device controller is meant to be used to send simple HTTP GET requests to a server.

Please see the HTTP POST requests section above for instructions on how to use this device controller as it works the same way, except for no POST data.


MQTT Messaging Protocol Control

For MQTT Messaging Protocol control, the device identifier is: mqtt

This device controller is meant to be used to send commands via the MQTT messaging protocol.

If you are using the MQTT device controller, I am going to assume you know enough about how to setup and use MQTT (you need to supply your own MQTT Broker).

To use the MQTT device, enter the IP:port of your MQTT Broker into the Device IP manager.

Example MQTT Message

If your MQTT broker needs basic authenticaltion, enter the username and password into the special data field as follows:

Wake-on-LAN Control

For Wake-on-LAN control, the device identifier is: wol

This device controller is meant to be used to send Wake-on-LAN signals to computers.

First you need to enable Wake-on-LAN on the computer you want to wake. You should look up how to do this on your own.

To use the Wake-on-LAN device, enter the MAC Address of the computer you want to wake into the cmd box.

Example Wake-on-LAN Command
