You can't launch apps inside apps on iOS. So using a URL scheme does not make any sense in the context of opening within Roomie. We cover this more in the FAQ:

I don't think that was the answer he was looking for. To be more specific, my settings on an iPad for a given Activity

"Start Commands" then

Type: "URL"

URL: "remote://"

Opens: "in Safari"

This also works just fine on my iPhone, for some reason it took my phone about 10 seconds to launch the Remote app.

I know I can open the remote app inside roomie through safari but the problem with that is that if I want to go back to my receiver and change the volume, I will lose the remote app in safari and have to relaunch it again to get to the remote app. I wanted to be able to switch between them without closing and reopening them again.
