The iOS Remote control feature can be used to connect iCue Remote to iCue or connect multiple iCues together.
iCue Remote is a free app that was designed as a remote for iCue and is available from the App Store.
Automatic connection will enable devices to connect as soon as they are discovered. When using Automatic Connection, it is not necessary to choose which hosting device to connect to, nor does the hosting device need to accept a connection attempt. When using Automatic Connection it is possible for the app to enter the background, and then reconnect automatically when entering the foreground again.
Manual Connection will require the device that is joining a session to select the host from a list of advertising hosts. The host will then be required to agree to allow the device to join the session. If one of the apps goes into the background the connection will be terminated and the devices will need to be reconnected again using the same process.
