autostart and multiport

[msillano]

context: This APP is a good workaround to solve a big problem: in Android+Termux+node-red it is not possible to use serial devices: see here.

So I looked for APPs, like "USB serial port IOT gateway" from apkpure: this is an interesting application, with the possibility of using many COM ports and many MQTT servers. Above all, it has one big flaw: it doesn't work in BACKGROUND.

Then I found your application, I tested it on Android 11 + Termux and node-red: OK and simple to use. Good job. Thanks: I'm using it in my projects (see here).

request

• A IOT server is unattended, i.e. at bootstrap all must fire. This is simple using MacroDroid, but your application requires the user action to select "START". An option 'autostart' (a button in config) can be a simple solution (see also ISSUE#4)

• A top-box can have many USB ports. So the capability to handle more [COM specs- TELNET port] pair, user-defined, but automatically chosen by the program at runtime, it would be a much-appreciated improvement (as an alternative, enable multi-instances capability).

Best regards.

Added autostart. Multiport is not planned yet.
