Hi everyone 
Over the last weeks I’ve built a few custom integrations for my Remote 3 that I’d like to share with you soon. All of them are unofficial community projects (not affiliated with Unfolded Circle). Developer: MOEHRLI.
1. Remote Web App – your remote on any screen
- A web app: runs on anything with a browser – iPhone, Android, iPad, Mac, PC. Nothing to install, just open it and add it to your home screen.
- Looks 1:1 like the remote – the sleek Remote 3 look (silver or dark grey), Remote Two look prepared.
- Activities, pages, buttons with their mapping, channel lists, live “now playing” – works with any integration.
- Runs directly on the remote, no extra server, password protected.
- So far only tested on Remote 3 → Remote Two owners: please get in touch, I’d love to finish it with you!
2. Games – for the little breaks
- A few games right on the display: chess, four in a row, battleship, snake, logo memory, nine men’s morris – played with arrow keys and OK only.
- Honestly: pretty basic – the remote only shows about one frame per second, so no gaming rig.
- Perfect while your partner watches that show you couldn’t care less about, someone fetches popcorn, or has to go to the loo for the 15th time during the movie. Instead of twiddling your thumbs: one more round!
- Warning: the remote plays four in a row better than you’d think.
3. Apple Home Bridge – your remote talks to Apple Home
- Activities, macros and switches of your whole remote show up in Apple Home – start them via Siri, the Home app or automations.
- Both directions: remote events trigger automations. With blue TV even more (pause, ad breaks …).
- Examples: a remote button triggers a scene · pause pressed → lights on (safe way to the loo or the fridge) · play → lights dimmed again · ad break starts → lights up for a moment.
- Easy pairing via QR code, 12 languages.
4. Swisscom blue TV (Switzerland) – blue TV as it should be on the remote
- Now playing with title, channel number and artwork from Swisscom.
- Progress bar like on the TV with all ad breaks, times exactly like on the TV.
- Skip ads by button or automatically (where allowed – mandatory ads stay as Swisscom intends).
- Seeking with big icons and auto-play at the right spot, “what’s on next”.
- TV guide on the remote with channel logos, details, episodes, reminders, start over, back to live, recordings.
- Ad statistics: how much advertising you’ve already saved.
- Tested with the Swisscom TV-Box 5 (IP2300). Swiss blue TV users please reply – especially with older boxes, so we can adapt it!
Status & beta testers
In daily use at home; I’m polishing setup, docs and translations. First beta in the coming days via GitHub, with self-update and a “diagnostics” button so you can send me a report with one click.
Beta testers wanted – ideally people interested in several or all plugins. Please reply with: which plugins · Remote 2 or 3 · firmware version · for blue TV your Swisscom box model.
Feedback and ideas welcome! 
German speakers: there’s also a post in the German thread (“Deutsches Forum”).
