how to remotely trigger a command from Android to Windows


Recommended Posts

Let's say I want to trigger an AutoIT command (eg. "lock Windows") on my Windows server PC from my client Android Smartphone, both in my same home WiFi network.

What's the best way to perform the communication from my Android system to my Windows system for this purpose?

I would say you need some way to communicate between your phone and your PC. I doubt AutoIt would be of any use in this communication though, so we probably won't be of much help here. You would have to create an Android app of some sort that is able to communicate with the server.

If you plan to send lot of commands and want then to be executed in real time and get responses, then keep an active TCP connection between your Android smartphone and an AutoIt server.

Another option: you could create a HTTP server (with AutoIt, it's possible) and your Android app will make requests to it with the commands you want it to execute (not AutoIt code, that would be a security flaw; use keywords instead).

 

Take a look on TCPServer UDF on my signature, it shall help.

I assume you know Android programming. Am I right?
