WinCC OA Android App…

I now also built an Android App to visualize my Home-Automation data (powered by WinCC OA – www.etm.at).

Because i did the same for iOS and used C# for coding (Xamarin Framework) i was able to share about 70% of the code between both Apps (iOS and Android). So there was no need to re-implement the communication and business logic!! All i had to do is to get familiar with the Android-UI…
