Setup guide

Resi Decoder

Add a Resi decoder for basic local Play and Pause control.

Upcoming release. This feature is in development and is not included in the current App Store version. Setup instructions describe the development build.

Before you start

Allow Church Remote’s Local Network permission and use a network that lets your phone or iPad reach the equipment. Guest Wi-Fi, isolation rules and VPNs can prevent a connection.

Add and use the device

  1. Use a Resi decoder on the equipment network. This option is for decoders.
  2. Confirm local remote control is available for your decoder and note its private IP address. Ask Resi support if you are unsure which setting your software requires.
  3. Tap + → Resi Decoder and enter the address and separate port. Keep the app’s default unless your working setup specifies another value.
  4. Save a useful name and room, then tap Connect to Decoder. Once connected, use Play or Pause.

Connection help & limits

A connected control port or a sent command does not confirm that playback changed. Verify the decoder’s output. Automatic decoder countdown/time-remaining feedback is still being researched and is not currently available.

Playback time is not available

Play/Pause and connection diagnostics do not establish a supported remaining-time feed. Church Remote does not mark playback as confirmed just because a TCP send completed. The reported Heights Resi connection issue remains unresolved; no single-client explanation is assumed.

Keep your equipment organized

Open Device Details to save a custom name and choose its location and room. Use names your volunteers recognize. Saved offline information is useful history; an online indicator is not a guarantee of physical power or output.
