A lightweight KDE Connect implementation for the Nintendo Switch written from scratch. Runs as a background sysmodule with an Ultrahand Overlay, and pairs with any KDE Connect client present in the same local network.
It can display notifications from Android/PC, remote control media playback, remote keyboard input, and more.
Note: Not all KDE Connect plugins are implemented. Some plugins are only implemented in one direction.
Features
- From your phone, tablet, PC to your Switch:
- Receive notifications (from Android/PC)
- (Notification sharing is disabled by default on PC. Enable it in the plugin settings)
- Remote keyboard
- Inject USB keyboard strokes on the Switch from another device
- (Limitation: An US English USB keyboard is simulated, so only characters present on a US keyboard can be injected.)
- Remote commands
- Control the Switch with some hardcoded commands (power control, send screenshot to PC/phone, etc.)
- Volume control
- Remote control the master volume level of your Switch
- File transfer
- Send files to your Switch's SD card (just implemented for completeness' sake, for most use-cases sys-ftpd is better)
- Receive notifications (from Android/PC)
- From your Switch to your other devices:
- Media playback remote controls
- Remote commands (PC only)
- Trigger predefined commands on a connected PC (custom shell commands; requires setup on the PC)
- Audio output control (PC only)
- Remotely choose between audio devices and set the volume level for each one
- Send screenshot
- Take a screenshot and send it to a device
- Ring device
- In both directions:
