LG-LB670V Remote App for Windows Phone


I recently bought one of the new 2014 LG WebOs Televisions: the LB670V. This television is supporting remote control via smartphone. So you are in theory able to change volume, channels and more using your phone. The problem is that the available applications are only designed for iOS and Android and not yet for Windows Phone.

 I am new to the Windows Phone SDK and the C# programming but i took it as a challenge to have an app available for Windows Phone 8 (and 8.1). 



The development is almost completed and the application so far supports:
  • Basic functionality of the remote controller (volume, channels, media player control, Joystick, Home Menu, ..)
  • Touchpad control : pilot the mouse, tap to click
  • Remote Keyboard: use you smartphone keyboard instead of the onscreen one
The application is designed for the 670 model but it could work for the other ones (650V for ex) but i cannot guarantee this for the moment.

I am almost done with the development and it will enter beta testing certification soon.
 
The App is now available for free on the Store ! Access it from your phone !
If you want to be a tester please enter your email together with your TV model (630, 650 or 670).
 
Only me will be able to see your email address.
