Looking to setup either an app or a website that my android can access, with only 2 buttons that sends commands to trigger something on the windows 11 computer. Its all on the same network. RDP/VNC is too heavy for this. Command 1 would run a bat file to open a specific app, and Command 2 would close that specific app. Whats a good way to do this?

KDE Connect might be a good fit for this.

To send manually, all you need is UDP Monitor. More fancy stuff with MacroDroid which has send UDP as an action.
