​
Overview

The remote control feature allows you to manage your FIFA Bot from any device with a web browser. Using Firebase Realtime Database, you can start, stop, and capture screenshots without physical access to the bot computer.

Remote Commands

  • INICIAR: Start the trading bot
  • DETENER: Stop the trading bot
  • SCREENSHOT: Capture and send a screenshot via WhatsApp
  • RELOGIN: Automatically re-authenticate if session expires

​
Architecture

The remote control system uses Firebase as a command bridge between the web interface and the bot: 
┌─────────────────┐         ┌──────────────┐         ┌─────────────┐
│  Web Interface  │ ──────> │   Firebase   │ ──────> │   Bot PC    │
│  (Any Device)   │         │   Realtime   │         │  (Python)   │
└─────────────────┘         │   Database   │         └─────────────┘
                            └──────────────┘

​
Firebase Integration

​
Bot Configuration

The bot establishes a connection to Firebase on startup: 
# bot-desktop.py:23-31
config = {
  "apiKey": "AIzaSyCO09JciLlqV3N4K7hV90qK_8XBvGBaCLI",
  "authDomain": "fifabot-e4c0b.firebaseapp.com",
  "databaseURL": "https://fifabot-e4c0b.firebaseio.com",
  "storageBucket": "fifabot-e4c0b.appspot.com"
}

firebase = pyrebase.initialize_app(config)
db = firebase.database()
db.update({"comando":"OK"})
The Firebase credentials shown are from the example code. You should use your own Firebase project for security.

​
Command Listener

The bot continuously monitors Firebase for incoming commands: 
# bot-desktop.py:861-878
def stream_handler(message):
    print(message['data'])
    
    if message['data']=="DETENER":
        db.update({"comando":"OK"})
        switchoff()
        
    if message['data']=="INICIAR":
        db.update({"comando":"OK"})
        iniciar()
        
    if message['data']=="SCREENSHOT":
        db.update({"comando":"OK"})
        enviarSSControlRemoto()
        
    if message['data']=="RELOGIN":
        db.update({"comando":"OK"})
        reLogin()

my_stream = db.child("comando").stream(stream_handler)
The bot uses Firebase’s real-time streaming to listen for database changes. When you click a button on the web interface, it updates the comando field in Firebase, which immediately triggers the stream_handler function on the bot.

​
Web Control Interface

The remote control panel is a simple HTML interface hosted locally or on any web server:

​
HTML Interface

<!-- COTROL_REMOTO/index.html:29-42 -->
<div id="center">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-12 text-center">
            <button type="button" id="btnDetener" class="btn btn-primary">DETENER</button>
            <button type="button" id="btnSS" class="btn btn-primary">SCREENSHOT</button>
            <button type="button" id="btnIniciar" class="btn btn-primary">INICIAR</button>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

​
JavaScript Logic

// COTROL_REMOTO/js/index.js:1-57
var firebaseConfig = {
    apiKey: "AIzaSyCO09JciLlqV3N4K7hV90qK_8XBvGBaCLI",
    authDomain: "fifabot-e4c0b.firebaseapp.com",
    databaseURL: "https://fifabot-e4c0b.firebaseio.com",
    projectId: "fifabot-e4c0b",
    storageBucket: "fifabot-e4c0b.appspot.com",
    messagingSenderId: "694276584575",
    appId: "1:694276584575:web:f21f5e813c58849ab8fb4a",
    measurementId: "G-55C2C3Y9HH"
};

firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
var db = firebase.database();

// Button event listeners
d3.select("#btnDetener").on("click", detener);
d3.select("#btnSS").on("click", screenshot);
d3.select("#btnIniciar").on("click", iniciar);

function detener() {
    db.ref().set({ comando: "0" });
    db.ref().set({ comando: "DETENER" });
}

function screenshot() {
    db.ref().set({ comando: "0" });
    db.ref().set({ comando: "SCREENSHOT" });
}

function iniciar() {
    db.ref().set({ comando: "0" });
    db.ref().set({ comando: "INICIAR" });
}
Purpose: Stops the trading bot gracefullyProcess:
  1. Sets command to “0” to clear previous state
  2. Sets command to “DETENER”
  3. Bot receives command and calls switchoff()
  4. All trading loops are terminated
  5. Command reset to “OK”

​
Screenshot Functionality

The remote screenshot feature captures the bot’s current state: 
# bot-desktop.py:490-505
def enviarSSControlRemoto():
    # Capture screenshot
    driver.save_screenshot("screenshot.png")
    filepath = 'screenshot.png'
    
    # Convert to clipboard format
    image = Image.open(filepath)
    output = BytesIO()
    image.convert("RGB").save(output, "BMP")
    data = output.getvalue()[14:]
    output.close()
    
    # Copy to clipboard
    send_to_clipboard(win32clipboard.CF_DIB, data)
    
    # Send via WhatsApp
    posicionar=driverWhatsapp.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='main']/footer/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[2]")
    posicionar.click()
    posicionar.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL, 'v')  # Paste
    time.sleep(3)
    
    botonEnviar=driverWhatsapp.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='app']/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/span/div/span/div/div/div[2]/span/div/div")
    botonEnviar.click()

Use Cases for Screenshots

  • Verify bot is running correctly
  • Check current market prices
  • Monitor transfer list status
  • Diagnose issues remotely
  • Confirm successful purchases

​
Auto Re-Login

The RELOGIN command handles automatic session recovery: 
# bot-desktop.py:887-920
def reLogin():
    enviarWhatsapp("EMPEZARON RELOGIN")
    
    # Click re-login button
    boton = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[4]/section/div/div/button/span[1]")
    boton.click()
    time.sleep(10)
    
    enviarWhatsapp("CLICK A LOGIN")
    boton2 = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="Login"]/div/div/button[1]')
    boton2.click()
    time.sleep(10)
    
    enviarWhatsapp("INTRODUCIENDO PASSWORD")
    input=driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="password"]')
    input.click()
    time.sleep(2)
    input.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL, 'a')
    time.sleep(1)
    input.send_keys(Keys.DELETE)
    time.sleep(1)
    input.send_keys("Warewolf10")  # Your FIFA password
    time.sleep(1)
    
    enviarWhatsapp("CLICK A ACEPTAR LOGIN")
    boton3 = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="btnLogin"]/span/span')
    boton3.click()
    time.sleep(15)
    
    # Resume trading
    enviarWhatsapp("IR A MERCADO DE TRANSFERENCIAS")
    irMercadoTransferencias()
    time.sleep(5)
    
    enviarWhatsapp("INTRODUCIR FILTROS")
    selecciones()
    time.sleep(5)
    
    enviarWhatsapp("REVISAR RANGO DE PRECIO")
    revisarPrecio()
    
    enviarWhatsapp("ENVIAR SCREENSHOT")
    enviarSSControlRemoto()
Update the password in reLogin() function (line 904) to your actual FIFA account password. Never share your bot code with this password included.

​
Setting Up Remote Control

1

Create Firebase Project

  1. Go to Firebase Console
  2. Create a new project
  3. Enable Realtime Database
  4. Set database rules to allow read/write (development only)
2

Configure Bot

Update Firebase credentials in bot-desktop.py lines 23-28:
config = {
  "apiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY",
  "authDomain": "YOUR_PROJECT.firebaseapp.com",
  "databaseURL": "https://YOUR_PROJECT.firebaseio.com",
  "storageBucket": "YOUR_PROJECT.appspot.com"
}
3

Configure Web Interface

Update Firebase credentials in COTROL_REMOTO/js/index.js lines 1-10 with matching values.
4

Deploy Web Interface

  • Option 1: Open index.html locally in your browser
  • Option 2: Deploy to Firebase Hosting for remote access
  • Option 3: Host on any web server (Netlify, Vercel, etc.)
5

Test Connection

  1. Start the bot
  2. Open the web interface
  3. Click “SCREENSHOT” to verify communication
  4. Check WhatsApp for the screenshot

​
Security Considerations

Important Security Notes:
  • Never commit Firebase credentials to public repositories
  • Use Firebase security rules to restrict database access
  • Consider implementing authentication for the web interface
  • Rotate API keys periodically
  • Use environment variables for sensitive data
