Hi,  
I just integrated an old smartphone into my project to use as a camera live feed. It works fine, but a while ago I saw a video of someone installing node red on [android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.okhiroyuki.redmobile) and accessing the various sensors of the phone. I would like to do the same, but without making the phone the server running node red. Instead I would like the phone to be just another client in my project.

Can anyone recommend an android app that can do this?
