SmartPhone Pi-Star Hotspot Dashboard

Do you have an old jumbo spot and you keep hearing all the hype about the Nextion Screen. Well here is a free alternative. Works great whe out in the gazebo and hotspot is in the house.

This app will NEVER give you all the functionality of a Nextion Screen, however it will provide most of the information to operate the hotspot. It is NOT fancy, but it is functional.

It also provides a bit more information on active callers

BETA Testing is now wide open to anyone willing to give it a try
