Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Control your Anel NET-PwrCtrl products with this app. It uses the UDP interfaces the products provide to switch sockets. Your phone/tablet will either have to be in your wifi or you need to connect a VPN before this app can work. I strongly recommend against a simple port forward from your router to your PwrCtrl as this will let your username/password go unencrypted over the internet. Even though I have been kindly allowed to use the company's graphics and product names for it this application is not provided by Anel Elektronik, but is a private project. So far I was only able to test this application with NET-PwrCtrl HOME devices. The interface will also show 8 sockets instead of only 3. That's because the UDP shows 8, even if there are only 3. I decided to implement it that way nonetheless so it may work with other hardware variants than the HOME edition.

Power Control APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Power Control APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 7806a78f88f2016065264c8f96afb254.
