Summary

With the AutoRemote extension you can setup Commands that will enable you to send AutoRemote messages based on your current selection in Chrome.

You can also receive messages from anywhere, so you can open pages remotely from your phone, for example, or receive your phone's notifications on your PC. You can also redirect messages to the EventGhost plugin for total automation. More info on EventGhost here: http://joaoapps.com/autoremote/eventghost/

For example, you can setup a Command that will create a "call" command. This way, when you select a phone number on any webpage, just send it with the call command to your phone, and a "call=:=NR_HERE" command will be sent. In Tasker, setup an AutoRemote profile with a "call=:=" message filter and with a direct call task where you use the "%arcomm" variable as a phone number

Quickstart guide:

  • Start by adding your Android devices at the top
  • Add any commandyou want at the bottom. Rules will be setup one by one for the devices you choose.
  • If you check the "Don't send right-click selection with this command" checkbox, the selection you choose on a page when you right-click it, won't be sent with the message.
  • You can also use keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+1 to Ctrl+Shift+4 to quickly use the commands you have defined.
