Allow HE to control media playback on the mobile device.

• Add Tasker Profile to MC Project to receive AutoRemote commands for play, pause and stop, adjusting the current media playback accordingly
• Update HE MC Mobile Device driver to make command(s) available that make the HTTP calls to AutoRemote on the mobile device
• Update Readme and Community post accordingly

Allow HE to adjust the screen brightness of the mobile device.

• Add Tasker Profile to MC Project to receive AutoRemote command for "brightness", taking in a parameter value of a percentage, adjusting the screen brightness of the device accordingly
• Update HE MC Mobile Device driver to make command(s) available that make the HTTP calls to AutoRemote on the mobile device, passing in the brightness percentage
• Update Readme and Community post accordingly

Create new Hubitat Device Driver:

• Use my Virtual Battery Sensor from my Hubitat repository as the starting point for the new driver
• Adjust the name the driver MC Mobile Device Driver
• Make the driver available through HPM under my existing HPM repository, defined in my Hubitat Git repository
• Test creation of a new virtual device, using interaction via Maker API as a test case

Allow HE to mute or unmute the mobile device.

• Add Tasker Profile to MC Project to receive AutoRemote command for turning audio on or off, taking in a parameter value of mute or unmute and adjusting the audio accordingly
• Update HE MC Mobile Device driver to make command(s) available that make the HTTP calls to AutoRemote on the mobile device, passing in the mute or unmute value
• Update Readme and Community post accordingly

Look into options for recording data from HE on the mobile device, such as a temperature sensor reading, contact sensor, etc.

Add to the existing battery sensor reading in the HE MC mobile device driver, to include the following details:

• Display Brightness
• Volume
• Mute / Unmuted
• WiFi SSID
• Last Update / Heartbeat Timestamp
• Call Status - Incoming, In-Call, None
• Motion

Where possible, implement the recording of these details within the HE device driver in line with HE capability definitions. Record these details in attributes, so as to make them available in dashboards and automations.

• Update the MC Tasker Project to include profiles / tasks that send each of these details through to HE when they change.

Make sure profiles are able to be turned off and left turned off in subsequent releases of the Project, allowing users to disable reporting of details such as WiFi SSID, call status information and motion.
The Heartbeat will be a periodic call back to HE to indicate the mobile device is still available and communicating with HE.

• Include a Project variable to control the frequency of this heartbeat call to HE.

Note - While Wi-Fi may be able to be used as an indicator of Presence, the intention at this stage is to leave this up to the user to define elsewhere, such as in RM rules.

• Update Readme with details of these changes and any configuration instructions and how best to use the information within HE
• Post Release post in Community topic outlining the changes

• Create Mobile Controller Repository with:
  • Apache 2.0 License
  • Basic Readme

Remove the need for sending updates from the mobile device via the Maker API, managing communications via the HE App instead. These communications will initially be used to receive battery readings from the device.

• Update HE MC App to make it available to receive HTTP call for updating the battery sensor reading on the HE virtual device
• Update Tasker profile for recording the battery reading in HE, adjusting the HTTP call to use the new endpoint of the HE MC App, rather than Maker API
• Update Readme where appropriate
• Add notes to HE Community topic on transitioning to this setup

Develop a new HE App to manage MC Mobile Devices, including:

• Manually creating MC Mobile Device, entering the IP Address of the device
• Make App available via HPM
• Update Readme with instructions for installing and using Mobile Controller App

Allow HE to turn screen on and off on the mobile device.

• Add Tasker Profile to MC Project to receive AutoRemote command for "screen", taking in a parameter value of on or off and adjusting the screen accordingly
• Update HE MC Mobile Device driver to make command(s) available that make the HTTP calls to AutoRemote on the mobile device, passing in the on or off value
• Update Readme and Community post accordingly

Develop a Tasker project, including profiles, tasks and variables required to:

• Report phone / tablet battery sensor readings back to a HE virtual device via Maker API, able to be captured in HE device using MC Mobile Device driver. Reading is sent to HE whenever the battery reading changes (%BATT)
• Command for dismissing alarms with a specific label, initiated on phone / tablet using AutoRemote
• Record current HE mode in Project variable, received on phone / tablet using AutoRemote

Profiles / Tasks within the Project will use project-level variables for the following, each to be configured when the project is first imported:

• HE IP Address
• HE Mobile Controller Mobile Device Id representing the Phone / Tablet
• HE Maker API App Id
• HE Maker API Access Token

Documentation and Release

• Export the Tasker Project as an XML and upload to the Mobile Controller Git Repository
• Add instructions to Mobile Controller Readme for installing and configuring the:
  • Tasker Project, including Project-level variables
  • HE MC Mobile Device Driver via HPM or manual installation
  • Creating the HE Virtual Device
• Create a new Hubitat Community topic for the initial Mobile Controller release (version 0.1.0)

Investigate options for a proxy / device group setup to allow for sending commands and variable updates to multiple devices.

Make it easier to dismiss alarms on a mobile device from HE automations and controls
Allow for synchronisation of the current HE mode into a MC Tasker Project variable on a mobile device

Update HE Mobile Controller Mobile Device driver to include the following:

• Preference setting for IP Address
• Methods to set and get IP Address Preference setting
• Command (Method) to send HTTP call to mobile device to dismiss an alarm, taking in a label as a parameter and passing it to the mobile device as part of the HTTP call
• Command (Method) to send HTTP call to mobile device to record current HE mode

Allow HE to turn Do Not Disturb on and off on the mobile device.

• Add Tasker Profile to MC Project to receive AutoRemote command for Do Not Disturb, taking in a parameter value of on or off and adjusting the Do Not Disturb status accordingly
• Update HE MC Mobile Device driver to make command(s) available that make the HTTP calls to AutoRemote on the mobile device, passing in the on or off value
• Update Readme and Community post accordingly
