Church Remote

Church Remote setup & compatibility

Stagetimer.io online and desktop

Add a licensed Stagetimer.io room or desktop API connection to Church Remote for timer feedback, supported controls and optional Apple Watch display.

What you need

Stagetimer’s documented API requires a paid license and authorized room/API connection details. A free room or ordinary public viewer link is not enough to enable this integration. Church Remote does not include a Stagetimer subscription.

Connect a room

  1. Open Timers & Countdowns → Add Timer Source and select Stagetimer.io.
  2. For the online service, choose Use Stagetimer Online. For a local desktop service, copy its actual API v1 base address from the provider’s connection settings.
  3. Enter Room ID and API key in their separate fields. Keep keys private; do not put them in a source name or support message.
  4. Save the source, check the returned timer list and select the timer you want. Pin it to app Home or enable Show on Watch if desired.

Desktop search and timer state

Search Nearby Timer Apps can identify a reachable default local Stagetimer API. It cannot discover cloud rooms or supply a room/key, and custom ports may need manual entry. Active timers can offer Start, Pause, Reset and time adjustments where supported. An inactive card’s configured duration must not be mistaken for live time remaining.

Connection help and limits

Check your paid API access, room, key and exact desktop API version. Legacy v0 or OSC-only desktop settings are not interchangeable with the v1 connection. Revoked credentials, licensing failures and rate limits can interrupt updates. A provider interface link appears only when a usable link is available; connection loss makes the reading stale.

Send a setup question or integration request. Include the Church Remote version, product model/version and the step that failed. Keep passwords, API keys, pairing codes and private presentation content out of the message.
