Early versions of the remote software were browser based only. Newer versions are Java based, but the software still requires constant internet connectivity to work. The software is compatible with both Windows, and Mac.

Version 5 of the software allowed users to set up their remote using local software, to simplify the setup experience. However, the program still required internet connectivity to work. The software for Mac was still internet browser based.
