Turn your Android phone into a Web of Things things

[Get it on F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/be.humanoids.webthingify)

## Usage

The app UI offers a text field to choose the port the web thing server will run on and a toggle to

start and stop the server.

### Supported attributes

- Vibrate phone

- Toggle flashlight

- See pictures from front and back camera

- Real-time sensor values (brightness, distance, in motion, temperature, pressure, humidity)

- Phone power (battery level, charging)

### Use cases

- Surveillance camera with small blind spot if device has a front and back camera

- Weather station (depending on sensors; I'd suggest not giving the camera permission in that case, to lower the load on the device)

- Daylight sensor (brightness sensor)

- Door or window opening sensor (not quite implemented nicely yet, but movement or distance properties can be used for it)

- Power outage detector (charging property)

- I'm sure the vibration action could be used for something.

## How to build

Uh, open it in Android Studio and it'll hopefully just work?

## What android versions does this support

It runs on my Nexus 5X (with 8.1) and I haven't been able to make it run properly on my older phone that runs 6.
