App development is not fun for everyone, and sometimes you just want to control a device from your phone with minimal work. Blynk appears to be a fairly put-together library for not only hooking ...

Blynk is on Kickstarter now seeking $10,000 and has raised over $15,000 with 18 days to go. A pledge of $5 will get you the basic Blynk app for Android when it his Google Play.

If you don’t like Blynk, there are other options, although none of them struck me as quite as complete. For example, a quick scan of the Google Play Store shows quite a few similar apps.
