Raspberry Pi Connect may control Windows soon
3 hours ago
- Raspberry Pi Connect, currently a free remote access service for Raspberry Pi devices, is reportedly gaining support for remote control of Windows PCs.
- The service uses WebRTC and VNC standards; a beta Windows version is available but has known bugs like cursor misalignment, freezes, and resolution issues.
- The tool is free for individuals, with a business plan at $0.50 per device per month, potentially undercutting competitors like RealVNC.
- Remote shell access (Command Prompt, PowerShell, WSL) is functional, though only one shell type can be set as the default.
- macOS daemon support may also be in development, as the Pi Connect team uses Macs internally.
- Key missing features include audio support, but the service continues to evolve with fleet management capabilities like remote updates.
