Android Nodes

Control and monitor Android devices with 16 specialized nodes.

​
Connection Setup

Android device connection is configured in the Credentials modal (Android panel), not on the workflow nodes themselves. Once a device is connected there, every Android service node in your workflow uses that connection. There are two connection methods:
The recommended method. Open the Credentials modal, choose the Android panel, and click Connect. A QR code appears - scan it with the companion Android app to pair the device.The relay uses a two-state model:
  • Connected - the WebSocket connection to the relay server is active. A QR code is available for pairing.
  • Paired - an Android device has scanned the QR and is paired through the relay.
Android service nodes require the device to be paired to execute (the node status indicator shows green when paired, red otherwise). If the device disconnects while the relay stays connected, a new QR is shown so you can re-pair.
Connection is set up once in the Credentials modal. The service nodes below carry only their action and parameters - no connection fields.

Troubleshooting

# Check ADB connection
adb devices

# Restart ADB
adb kill-server
adb start-server
Some features require:
  • USB debugging enabled
  • Developer options enabled
  • Specific app permissions
  • Open the Credentials modal (Android panel) and check the status: the device must be paired, not just connected
  • If only connected, re-scan the QR code with the companion app to pair
  • Ensure the companion Android app is running on the device
  • Use Reconnect in the Android panel if the relay connection dropped
