Frequently asked questions

The remote can't find the receiver

Make sure both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Phone Trigger works entirely over your local network — there is no cloud server. Guest networks and some corporate/hotel networks block device-to-device traffic; a personal hotspot or home Wi-Fi works best.

How do I connect a remote?

Open the receiver on the phone that should display the alarm. It shows a QR code and a web address. On any other device — phone, tablet, or laptop — either scan the QR code or type that address into a browser, then enter the 4-digit code. No second app to install.

The custom background image looks cropped

The receiver fills the whole screen, so images that don't match your phone's aspect ratio are cropped at the edges. For a pixel-perfect result, use an image sized to your phone's screen resolution.
