Web Remote Droid

Web Remote Droid is an app that let you control some of your android device features remotely. You can use a browser (Firefox, Chrome, Edge) or any other HTTP enabled script/app to : - Take a picture - Enable or disable the flash of your phone - Get data from sensors (ambient temperature, illuminance in lux) - Battery level - Position using network and GPS - Start and stop application - Wake up a device using Wake On LAN For example, to get battery level, use the following URL in your browser : http://yourphone:8888/battery/level. In return you should get battery percentage in text. For those of you who don’t need the raw output to pass to a script, there is an integrated web server with a nice web page to be able to access all of the features of this app in an easy way. Just fire up your browser and point it to http://yourphone:8888/. There are still a lot of things that could be done remotely but not yet implemented, if you need something please ask me to prioritize it. Please be aware that if you have Android >= 6 (Marshmallow), you will need to go into the settings of the app and click the 2 lines starting with "requesting ..." to allow the app to access your camera (if you want to take pictures remotely) and your location (if you want to get the location of the device remotely). And since Android 10, to start an app from the background (as Web Remote Droid can do), you need also to "Request system alert window permission" to allow "display over other apps", see here for more information why : https://developer.android.com/guide/components/activities/background-starts
