With the CODESYS Sensor App​ for Android product, sensor data from can be sent an Android smartphone to a CODESYS controller.

Product description

Smartphones integrate numerous sensors such as Hall effects, accelerometers, and GPS sensors. Using CODESYS Sensor App​ for Android, the data from the most common sensors can be sent from Android-based devices to a CODESYS controller via a network connection. Moreover, you can use the speech recognition of Android to send the recognized words as a string to the controller. In this way, you can implement a simple voice control with your Android device (for example, a smartphone) when an Internet connection is available.

The software package contains a sample project for the CODESYS Development System which allows sent data to be displayed in a visualization.
