## Description

RaspController is a powerful Chrome extension that enables seamless remote management of your Raspberry Pi using your smartphone. It offers comprehensive features including GPIO control (on/off or impulsive), file management (explore, copy, paste, delete, text editing), and a Shell SSH terminal for executing custom commands. Users can monitor crucial system metrics like CPU, RAM, storage, and network usage.

Additionally, the extension supports viewing images from connected cameras and collecting data from sensors such as DHT11/22 (humidity, temperature), DS18B20 (temperature), BMP sensors (pressure, temperature, altitude), and Sense Hat. It provides detailed wiring diagrams and pinout information for correct device use. Features like Wake On Lan, process lists, notifications, shutdown, reboot, and custom widgets further enhance device control. Security is ensured using SSH with password or key authentication (RSA, ED25519, ECDSA), and it integrates with the Tasker app for automation.

## Review summary

RaspController is praised for being feature-rich and an all-in-one Raspberry Pi control app, including a terminal. Users cite a broad feature set and strong usefulness. However, aggressive advertising—full-screen ads, long runtimes, and frequent interruptions—significantly harms the experience and has prompted uninstallations. The pricing/removal model is also a common complaint, with some wishing for a one-time fee rather than a subscription. Despite these issues, many users still view it as a highly capable and valuable Raspberry Pi tool.
