What is anyRemote?

The overall goal of this project is to provide remote control service on Linux through Bluetooth, InfraRed, Wi-Fi or just TCP/IP connection.

anyRemote supports wide range of modern cell phones like Nokia, SonyEricsson, Motorola and others.

It was developed as thin communication layer between Bluetooth (or IR, Wi-Fi) capabled phone and Linux, and in principle could be configured to manage almost any software.

anyRemote is console application, but in addition there are GUI front ends for GNOME (python app, fixed to work with hildon a bit).
Features

anyRemote can be used by:

* bluetooth connection with java client if cell phone is JSR82 compatible
* Wi-Fi connection with java client if phone supports Wi-Fi

* ordinary TCP/IP connection with java client, if PC is connectable from internet
* bluetooth, infrared or cable connection using AT "modem" commands
* web interface

Hildonized it and fixed up the scripts. I've used the MPD, mplayer, autolock, Evince, FileManager, RSS, wmctrl and sound volume scripts successfully with a W810 as the client.
