SnapLink replacement

I very recently found cause to purchase a new cell phone, and when I was installing software on it I was distressed to find SnapLink is no longer available from Google Play store. It doesn't even show up in my purchase history.
This is catastrophic because I use SnapLink on my phone to interface with my OP2 on my home LAN, have been continuing to develop my home automation, and handheld device access is critical.
Yes, I'm aware of SnapLink Mobile, but having been bitten by that programmer once, as well as having concerns with Data Shared (particularly location) as well as in app purchases and ads, I am trying to avoid it. I have reached out to Leviton to see if they have released the SnapLink APK for installation at the User's risk, and am awaiting a response.
In the meantime, I am asking Cocooners what they use to interface with an OP2 from their handheld devices. I own Homeseer, but from when I had it running I recall that it was more oriented to automation than as a handheld interface.
I am also aware of Home Assistant but have never tried it.
As are we all, I am looking for small hardware footprint, and above all versatile interface across multiple handheld platforms ranging from phones to tablets. Ease of use would also be a benefit.
 
Homeseer has evolved and the Omni Plugin works nicely. That said I also use Home Assistant with OmniLinkBridge. Works great.

Apkpure has the Android Leviton Snaplink for download here==>

With respect to OmniLinkBridge, I now have Home Assistant running on Proxmox, and am trying to configure OmniLinkBridge.

In OmniLinkBridge configuration tab, when I enable mqtt_enabled, there are settings called mqtt_server, mqtt_username and mqtt_password. Are they looking for home assistant IP, UN, and PW, or something else?
 
FOUND: A Replacement for SnapLink Remote Control App for iOS and Android.

I, like I'm sure many of you, was bitten by SnapLink becoming defunct, and spending LOTS of time trying unsuccessfully to get it to work. I discovered MYRO:HOME, a brilliant app specifically for Leviton/HAI Home Automation Systems. You'll find it at https://www.myrocontrol.com/myrohome/. It, of course, requires your internet / LAN to be working. It gives you worldwide control over Security, Climate, Control (lighting) and gives you status of your system vitals like battery, power, DCM, phone, freeze, and identifies any sensors or zones that are "NOT READY," or "BYPASSED" (which you can do remotely too, if needed, e.g.-a PIR Motion Detector consistently falsing and initiating a Burglar Alarm). Their tech support is superb. I've received email responses to Support Tickets 24/7 usually in a matter of hours, if not minutes.
