Features & Capabilities

Remote+ Shortcut Addon is an exclusive and free add-on designed for DirecTV Remote+ Pro from Cognitial Mobile. It enables users to create customizable shortcuts and widgets directly on their Android home screen for remote buttons, favorites, macros, and even quick access to the Mini-Guide.

This add-on requires the DirecTV Remote+ Pro app to be installed and a functional SD card to retrieve settings. Users can test shortcut creation with the free version, but functionality is activated only with the Pro version. The app supports integration with automation tools like Tasker for enhanced control. Custom shortcut icons are also supported, allowing personalization. Static IP or DHCP reservation is recommended for receiver settings to ensure consistent shortcut functionality.

Ideal for DirecTV users looking to streamline their remote control experience on Android devices, this add-on enhances accessibility and efficiency with quick, customizable access points.
