Mobile Sensors API (IoT)

Retrieve information from your sensors and display PiP messages using a RestAPI

Use 'Mobile Sensors API' to transform your Android devices (smartphone, tablet, TV) into IoT devices using RestAPI. You will be able to retrieve information from your devices and remotely control them within your WiFi network.

Bring your old Android devices back to life by using them in your home automation (domotics) to gather sensor information, such as atmospheric pressure or ambient lumens, among others.

The 'Mobile Sensors API' serves a RestAPI on your local WiFi network. You can view the available methods at the following link:

The application will require notification permission. This is used to persist the service that receives HTTP requests. If you intend to use the Picture-in-Picture (PiP) methods, grant the permission from the 'Show over other apps' settings of the application.

For devices that lack configuration interfaces to grant the 'Show over other apps' permission, such as TVs, you must manually grant the permission as follows:

1) Download adb for Windows/Linux/Mac.

2) Connect to the device by running the command:

adb connect DEVICE_IP

(DEVICE_IP is the IP of the device within your WiFi network)

3) Grant the permission by executing the following command:

adb shell pm grant com.lanuarasoft.mobilesensorsapi android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW
