Tried something new in S6 last night.

[Box on Rails]

Last night I was testing my lights the way I have always done so for the last 15 years. I would use the light controller in the Control Panel/HU and after walking in and out of my house about 10 times I thought to myself, Wait a minute. S6 has a phone app that supposedly can control my lights. I'll have to give it a go. Well guess what? It works and it works well. If you haven't tried the App yet I can verify it's a great tool. I set my lawn chair up in the driveway and opened the app. I selected one of my previews and went one prop at a time. I found 2 universes that the cables were flipped and 2 snowflakes that had bad pixels. all from the comfort of my chair. I might be a little late to the party but I'm all in. Give the app a go if you haven't yet.

The app would make things easier especially when you are outside testing. I have been doing that for years in S4 with Remote Desktop.

Is remote desktop the software that will control your computer from a another computer or tablet? I may have tried it once years ago.

Remote Desktop is part of Windows PRO. It allows a remote to take over (among other things) COMPLETELY.  I like VNC for when We want Both active (You drive, I will watch for now)

I have used TeamViewer from either a laptop or phone to remote into the show computer for years.  Since the phone app gave that capability, I have used that many times and it works very well.

I used that app for testing last year and loved it! It's one of those things you don't think you need until you use it. And then you wonder how you lived without it.

That's it. TeamViewer is what I have used not remote desktop. It wasn't as user friendly as the App is for me.
