Bluetooth LE Simple Remote by Ferdinand Stueckler is a lightweight Windows app that connects to Bluetooth Low Energy devices to provide straightforward remote-control functionality with a minimal interface and easy pairing.

A compact Bluetooth LE remote control intended to send structured command data to microcontrollers such as ESP32, Arduino, or Raspberry Pi. The app exposes a small set of configurable controls that map directional input and a power slider to a three-position payload, with an optional channel field for multiplexing multiple devices or streams.

Purpose and payload: Optional channel (0–3) plus three positions transmitted as either bytes or text. Position values (power) range from -100 to 100 and represent the three output bytes or numeric fields.
Directional mappings:
- UP: [channel], 0, power, 0
- DOWN: [channel], 0, -power, 0
- LEFT: [channel], -power, power, 0
- RIGHT: [channel], power, power, 0
- MIDDLE: [channel], 0, 0, 0
Byte Mode: Optional channel and the three positions are sent as raw bytes for compact, binary transport.
Text Mode: Optional channel followed by a colon, then the three positions as comma-separated text, terminated with \n for simple parsing on the microcontroller side.
Zero-on-release option: when enabled, controls automatically return to [channel], 0, 0, 0 on release to simplify stop conditions.
Controls: a channel toggle (Ch.) to include or omit channel information, and a power slider set from 0 to 100 that determines the magnitude applied to directional outputs.

Interaction focuses on a minimal set of inputs to support real-time control scenarios over BLE. The distinction between byte and text modes offers a trade-off between efficiency and human-readable payloads; pairing and parsing behavior should be implemented on the microcontroller to match the chosen mode and optional channel format.

Pros

Simple, minimal user interface — easy to set up and use with minimal learning curve
Lightweight app with low resource usage, suitable for older or low-powered Windows devices
Uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), which conserves battery on connected peripherals
Designed specifically for simple remote-control tasks (media playback, presentation advance), making it focused and uncluttered
Available through the Microsoft Store for straightforward installation and automatic updates
Likely free or low-cost (typical for small utility apps in the Store), reducing barrier to trial

Cons

Windows-only — not available for macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android, limiting cross-platform use
Requires a BLE-capable adapter and up-to-date Windows Bluetooth stack; older PCs may be incompatible
Functionality appears intentionally minimal, so advanced features (extensive button mapping, macros, profiles) are probably not available
Potential compatibility gaps with some BLE remote hardware models — some devices may not pair or expose expected controls
Limited documentation and support typical of small single-developer apps can make troubleshooting harder
If the app is not frequently maintained, users may encounter bugs or future compatibility issues with Windows updates

FAQ

What is Bluetooth LE Simple Remote by Ferdinand Stueckler?

Bluetooth LE Simple Remote is a lightweight Windows app that lets you use a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) remote or smartphone as a simple remote control for your PC (media control, slide navigation, etc.).

Which Windows versions are supported?

The app is available from the Microsoft Store and is designed for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Make sure your PC has recent updates and supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).

What hardware do I need to use the app?

You need a Windows PC with a BLE-capable Bluetooth adapter and a BLE remote (or a smartphone app exposing BLE HID/characteristics). Standard BLE remotes and many modern Bluetooth keyboards/controllers work provided they support the expected BLE profiles.

How do I pair my BLE remote with the app?

Open the app, enable Bluetooth on your PC, put the remote into pairing mode, then use the app’s device list or Windows Bluetooth settings to pair. Some remotes require pairing through Windows Settings > Bluetooth & devices; others are discovered directly in the app. Refer to your remote’s manual for its pairing procedure.

What controls does the Simple Remote provide?

Typical functions include media controls (play/pause, next/previous, volume), slide navigation (next/previous slide), and basic navigation keys. Exact available controls depend on the connected remote and how it exposes buttons over BLE.

Does the app require special permissions or privacy access?

The app requires Bluetooth access to communicate with BLE devices. The Microsoft Store listing may request permission to use your device’s Bluetooth and related capabilities. No additional system-level permissions should be necessary for normal remote operation.

What should I do if my remote isn’t detected?

1) Ensure your PC’s Bluetooth is turned on and supports BLE. 2) Make sure the remote is in pairing/discovery mode. 3) Turn Bluetooth off/on or restart the app. 4) Check Windows Bluetooth Settings to see if the device appears and remove/repair if necessary. 5) Update Bluetooth drivers and Windows. If problems persist, try the remote with another device to confirm it is working.

How do I update the Bluetooth LE Simple Remote app?

Updates are delivered through the Microsoft Store. Open the Microsoft Store, go to Library > Get updates (or My Library), and install available updates for the app.

Is source code or advanced configuration available?

The Microsoft Store listing typically does not include source code. For advanced configuration or feature requests, check the store listing for developer contact information (Ferdinand Stueckler) to ask about customization or to request features.

Where can I get support or report bugs?

Use the Microsoft Store listing’s “Support” or “Developer contact” section to find the developer’s email or website. Provide details about your PC, Windows version, Bluetooth adapter, remote model, and steps to reproduce the issue when reporting bugs.
