claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix remoteControlAtStartup: true in settings.json does not auto-enable remote control on new sessions [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Enable remote control automatically by modifying the session startup script to include the /remote-control command.

Guidance

• Verify that the ~/.claude/settings.json file is correctly formatted and that the remoteControlAtStartup setting is properly set to true.
• Check if there are any session-specific settings that might be overriding the global remoteControlAtStartup setting.
• Consider adding a script or command to run automatically at session startup that executes the /remote-control command.
• Investigate if there are any known issues or limitations with the Claude Code version 2.1.123 that might be causing this behavior.

Example

// ~/.claude/settings.json
{
  "remoteControlAtStartup": true
}

Note: This example only shows the relevant setting in the settings.json file.

Notes

The provided workaround of manually running /remote-control after each new session starts suggests that the issue is not with the mobile app or the network connection, but rather with the automatic enablement of remote control on the desktop app.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the session startup script to include the /remote-control command, as this is the most straightforward way to achieve the desired behavior until a potential fix is released.
