Remote for Android?

[tllim]

Hi everyone!
I just ordered my Pine64 and I wanted to use it with android on my TV.
However I was wondering if there is a way to control the android with something else than a mouse and keyboard. I was a raspberry pi user (with OSMC on it) and I controlled it with my phone.
The goal for me is having on the Pine apps like netflix, kodi for having my complete media center, and some games like angry birds that I can play with a remote.

Is something like that possible?

Thanks a lot!

Just get the Pine64 IR remote control kit. You also can configure your Harmony remote or others universal remote using the IR code, http://files.pine64.org/doc/Pine%20A64%2...t-logo.jpg,  provided at Pine64 wiki page. Please remember to add an IR receiver (3 pins) in front of the Pine A64 board.

Hmm... I really aren´t an expert. Did get a 3-pin IR receiver, plugged it in... but: Can´t get any IR remote to work. For Logitech Harmony or Oneforall: Any idea what devide to setup? And: Is there an Android app availabe (similar to "Android TV Remote") to control the PINE64 with the smartphone?

The Android build already has the IR driver build in and should be work as is. Please make sure that you use the provided remote control and try out. If you plan to use Logitech Harmony, please program the IR command code that you can get on the Pine64 wiki page.
