DecentIoT Mobile Overview

This guide will walk you through the DecentIoT Mobile application, including installation, setup and usage.

Install & Login (Android)

We support sideloading for now. And IOS app is currently in development.

• Install the APK from our Download Page.

  • To install: enable Install unknown apps for the browser/file manager, then open the APK.

• Login with the same DecentIoT account created on the web.

App workflow

• On login you see a list of Projects. Tap a project → you see Dashboards.

• Dashboards display the same widgets as web — actions are immediate.

Offline behavior

• The mobile app shows cached widget values if connection is lost. When reconnected it synchronizes state.

Example Toggle LED via Mobile

• Navigate: Projects → my-first-iot → Dashboard → press led1. Mobile writes the same data path / publishes to MQTT as the web does.

Distributing APK (short notes)

• Build a signed release APK (use expo or React Native CLI). Sign with a release key (or use Android App Bundle for Play Store later).

• Host the signed .apk on your website (or S3). Provide users a download link and install instructions (enable unknown sources).

• Optionally provide a short help page showing how to allow unknown apps and how to update.
