I think there is no app in mobile devices but if running opennethome in raspberry pi , you can install there apache and use apache mod proxy for java app so you can make apache page which ask password and username and redirect you in raspberry pi nethome page in out side of you home lan. I use this , and normal web page is real good for manage nethome via mobile devices , you can setup there example diferent page if you not want use plan page.
there is good tutorial https://blog.art-of-coding.eu/using-apa ... lications/
after that you need use apache basic auth function to page example here: https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/PasswordBasicAuth
this make you opennethome visible public network but ask password when try login in public network ofc you need no-ip.org or something to get your home ip address. Btw you can configure nethome jabber server to use simple nethome functions via jabber too.

I was afraid I would have to do something like that. The problem is I'm lazy :oops:

I like to be able to use simple widget controls on my android with Remotestick. I could probably use Tasker to make something but I gave up after 5 minutes last time I tried.

Um yeah well , you know you can sent link via browser to make something happened example my living room lamp is http://192.168.1.250:8020/home?page=edi ... urn=server
that make my living room lamp toggle. maybe there is some app which can sent links to nethome.
I think this is easy way.But that apache gateway and basic auth take approx. 5 min :D. and you get full control outside lan too.
or if android stick somehow can sent udp packet you can sent this for you nethome commincation udp port.
sent udp packet ip of nethome , activate udp communication port and sent this there.

call,Olohuone_Tolpat,toggle

With Tasker I could make UI controls to send tcp, udp or probability even rest. But I would have to learn more about Tasker before that. It's those kids that take all my time :)
