Hi, I would very much like to test your app, but have no idea how to install it on Android. Would be nice if there was basic info on how to do this. Thanks for your efforts.

Hello, thank you for your interest! The app is very basic, you will get more features from any other free lux meter app on the app store, but it is a working proof of concept that it is possible to do, and is opensource.

If you really want to install it, you can do so by cloning the repo, and running the expo command. You simply do:

npx expo run:android

Then it will output a QR code, which you can scan on your Android or iOS phone using the Expo app there and it will load the app.

Eventually I want to make an APK but no ETA as first I would like to add more features (dark mode, saving recordings, etc).

Here are more infos: https://docs.expo.dev/guides/local-app-development/

And note to self: it's now easy to make a local production build, I may try that eventually: https://docs.expo.dev/deploy/build-project/#production-builds-locally
