Duorem vs Platypush
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Duorem
The idea behind this app is to provide people who are not very familiar with computer interfaces a simple and easy way to control a remote computer. Imagine your grand parent needs a way to power a media server. Quick and efficiently! The application uses Wake On LAN (WOL) technique to start a remote computer. You need to make sure that your computer and network is set up for and support WOL. The app can only power off or restart a Linux-based computer. It performs these actions using secure shell (SSH). Your remote computer must be configured to enable SSH connections. Username that is used for SSH must have sudo rights. Note that SSH credentials are stored in application preferences unencrypted! Anyone with root access can read it. Differences from similar apps * Supports power off and power on signals. * Controls only a single computer. * Big interface controls for people with thick fingers. * Remote computer status and commands feedback. * Host search for easy first-time setup. * Open source, no ads. Bug reports and comments are welcomed on app development page.
Platypush
This app provides an easy way to access your Platypush (https://platypush.tech) devices and instances. The app scans for Platypush web services running on your network and offers a way to control integrations (lights, switches, music and media library and playback, cameras etc.) through the responsive web interface provided by the services. Features: * Automatic scan of devices on your network through Zeroconf/Bonjour. * Manual connection to devices not found on your network.
