About this app

xLights Remote puts your show's controller and model information in your pocket. Check on your Falcon, FPP, or other xLights-managed controllers, browse your model layout, and even re-wire a model to a different controller — all from your phone, without opening a laptop.

xLights Remote talks directly to the HTTP API built into the xLights desktop app, so everything you see is live data from your actual show, not a copy.

FEATURES

Controllers
• See every controller in your show at a glance — name, IP address, vendor/model, protocol, active status, and channel range
• Drill into any controller for full details
• Visualize pixel, serial, LED panel, and virtual matrix port assignments, including every model chained to each port
• Print or export a controller's port/model wiring for reference
• Upload outputs or jump straight to a controller's own web UI

Models
• Browse every model and model group in your layout
• View model groups and the models inside them
• Inspect a model's type, start channel, layout group, string type, and more
• Edit a model's controller, controller port, model chain position, protocol, and smart remote setting directly from your phone

Simple setup
• Point the app at your xLights instance's IP address and port — takes seconds
• Works over your local network, so no cloud account or sign-up required

WHO IT'S FOR

Built for xLights sequencers and light show operators who want a fast way to check controller status, confirm port wiring, or fix a model's controller assignment while they're out at the display — not sequencing at a desk.

REQUIREMENTS

• The xLights HTTP API enabled: in xLights, go to Preferences → Output → xFade/xSchedule and turn it on (default port 49913)
