Introduction

XXTLanControl is a LAN control platform for XXTouch devices. It is designed for batch device management, script execution, remote control, scheduling, and centralized file and data handling.

It mainly consists of these parts:

  • Backend service: provides the HTTP API and handles device communication, file management, and data storage
  • Web console: the browser-based management UI for devices, scripts, remote control, files, KVDB, TableDB, and the picker workspace
  • Tray app (optional): available on Windows and macOS for starting or stopping the backend and opening the console quickly
  • Device-side Lua module XXTLanControl.lua: used by scripts running on devices to call control-center features

Main Capabilities

  • Device management: scan and import XXTouch devices on the LAN, then manage them by group
  • Script execution: upload scripts to devices and start, stop, or pause them at any time
  • Remote control: view device screens in real time, send touch or key input, and control multiple devices together
  • File management: manage scripts, resources, and reports on the control center, including upload, download, and online editing
  • Data management: built-in KVDB and TableDB for shared state and structured business data
  • Schedules: support timed, interval, one-time, user-triggered, and KVDB queue-triggered execution with step-based or visual workflows
  • Picker workspace: screenshot color picking, selection cropping, bitmap dictionary tools, and script UI editing helpers
  • Batch operations: batch authorization, batch XXTouch installation, batch rename, screenshots, lock/unlock, and more

Requirements

  • XXTouch must be installed on the device, and Remote Access must be enabled
  • The control center and devices must be on the same LAN, and the firewall must allow the HTTP port (default 46990)

First Launch

  • Windows: double-click XXTLanControl-tray-windows-amd64.exe; the browser usually opens the console automatically
  • macOS: open XXTLanControl.app; the browser usually opens the console automatically
  • Linux: run start-backend.sh, then open http://127.0.0.1:46990/ manually
