Installing the Crafty Controller Mobile App

This feature is coming in Crafty 4.0.23

• The mobile app is a Progressive Web App (PWA). This means that it is a website run inside its own container on your phone.
• The installation will be slightly different based on your phone OS and the browser you use. These docs have instructions for Safari on iOS and Chrome on Android, though they should be able to be applied to most browsers.
• Please note, that most major browsers require a 'signed SSL certificate' or they may block some features of the PWA.
• The mobile app will only be functional if your Crafty instance is accessible. In order to access it outside of your house you may need to port forward and use a reverse proxy.
