B1 Remote

B1 Android TV / iPhone Bluetooth remote project.

Proven transport

iPhone → Bluetooth LE → B1 → Accessibility Service → Android TV

Batch 1

The original Bluetooth-only remote foundation is complete and user-accepted:

• boot-time BLE auto-start
• Accessibility binding
• Wi-Fi / mobile-data / Internet independent control
• HOME, BACK, UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, OK, VOL_UP, VOL_DOWN, PLAY_PAUSE
• native iPhone app UAT
• cold-power-cycle UAT

v0.3 — Connection Stability / Auto-Recovery

This release targets intermittent Connecting… / failed reconnect behavior observed while the B1 TV card is busy or a BLE link drops.

Android receiver hardening

• forced advertising restart after every GATT disconnect
• BLE health watchdog
• GATT/advertising self-healing
• Bluetooth OFF → ON recovery
• existing HiRemote vendor remote system untouched
• same BLE UUIDs and command protocol

Package: B1_Remote_Android_Stability_v0.3.zip

The Android update patches the existing proven receiver project in place and requires the existing signing keystore so adb install -r remains a valid update.

iPhone v0.3 hardening

• remembered B1 peripheral
• fast direct reconnect
• fresh BLE scan fallback
• connection timeout
• service-discovery timeout
• bounded reconnect backoff
• write-error recovery
• CoreBluetooth state restoration
• bluetooth-central background mode
• foreground health/resume check
