It would be better probably to make some tweaks to the Dashboard page so that it can directly become an app on your phone. In fact, I think you will find that it is mostly or completely there already. Have a look at mobile webapps.

To use an App Inventor app, you would want to create API's from Node-RED that are accessed by the app. Rather than creating your own Dashboard. [This page](http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/reference/other/xml.html) in the docs seems to have an example of an API call of the appropriate type though you may find JSON easier to work with than XML.
