A flow to remotely control your phone through SMS messages. You can lock, unlock, locate, sound alarms, get a call back and setup a photo trap (take photo immediately when the screen turns on)

Commands:
Locate: ".000.1"
Alarm: ".000.2"
Lock: ".000.3"
Unlock: ".000.4"
Photo Taker: ".000.5"
Photo Taker Disable: ".000.6"
Call Me: ".000.7"

Featuring a whitelist so only selected contacts can run commands


** Setup **
Before running anything it's best to start the "Settings Editor", setup a Google account if you want, and add a contact to the whitelist (don't forget to save the settings)

Now you may want to test all functions before relying on them, especially "Photo Taker" as it may need extra setup (authorization for access to Google drive... Close screen, open screen, wait some seconds, view your notifications for a "Authorization" something notification)

"Call Me" feature may require selecting a default phone app (if for example viber is also available)
