Can a Yongnuo YN560 IV remotely control power or groups on a Neewer TT560 through an RF-603 II receiver?

I have a Yongnuo YN560 IV on-camera, a Neewer TT560 manual flash on a light stand, and a Yongnuo RF-603 II receiver attached to the Neewer flash. Since the YN560 IV can control some wireless flashes, can it remotely set power or assign groups on the Neewer TT560 when the TT560 is connected through the RF-603 II, or will it only trigger the flash?

...since the YN 560 IV can control other wireless flashes can it also control and group the [Neewer] TT560 flash since it's connected to a wireless receiver now?
No. It cannot; all you can do is fire the flash in sync.
The RF-603 II C, when used as a receiver cannot do power or group control, so there's no way to communicate that to the flash. An RF-605 transceiver can give group on/off control, but not remote power control.
In addition, the Neewer TT560 (which, like the Amazon Basics flash, I suspect is actually a rebranded Godox TT560) is a single-pin flash without any built-in radio triggering. Anything attached to its foot can only communicate sync (fire). No other signals can be received by the flash because it doesn't have the pins to receive them. Your YN-560IV would behave the same on an RF-603 II; it can only have its group/power controlled via its internal radio transceiver.
If you want remote group/power control, you have to stick with the YN-560III/IV/-660/-560Li models, which also have a compatible built-in transceiver.

No. In this setup, the Neewer TT560 will only fire in sync; you cannot remotely control its power or grouping.
Why: the RF-603 II receiver only passes a simple trigger signal, and the TT560 is a single-pin manual flash, so it can only receive a “fire” command through the hot shoe. There’s no path for extra control data such as power level or group assignment.
The YN560 IV can remotely control compatible Yongnuo flashes that understand its wireless system, but adding an RF-603 II to a basic single-pin flash does not make that flash remotely adjustable.
At best, with some other triggers, you may get limited group on/off behavior, but not remote power control with this flash/receiver combination. For full remote power/group control, you need both:
- a trigger system that sends those commands, and
- a flash that can receive and understand them, either through built-in radio or compatible multi-pin communication.
