The question came up in a previous discussion, [What is a good way for sending messages between Node-Red and your smart phone also in case the smartphone is not connected to your LAN? - #3 by TotallyInformation](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/what-is-a-good-way-for-sending-messages-between-node-red-and-your-smart-phone-also-in-case-the-smartphone-is-not-connected-to-your-lan/2470/3), and there does not seem to be an obvious way to work around it.
