What metrics do you actually want to measure? Here is a paper in which they also compared react native to native versions: https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?pid=diva2%3A946127&dswid=-6692 You could use something like this to automate your inputs and measure it: https://github.com/dtmilano/AndroidViewClient (There is also a new version, but it's still in alpha development. It was also used in the mentioned paper above.)

Is there a solution for this?

another roundabout way would be to set up an ADB server using something like https://github.com/JeffLIrion/adb_shell with (for me) a command like "dumpsys deviceidle | grep 'mState'" which will show as ACTIVE or INACTIVE next you'd setup a web endpoint that you ping from Hubitat to get the status
