Basically controlling the DSLR with Smartphone, and it needs to be attached to the tripod fro 5-6 hours. How do you guys do it or any idea from brain storming?

Holy Batman!
I backed it myself and it is still in production, but things are getting close to shipping.
Good on you sir! Let me know after you test drive it for a while. :)
I cried at 24+ hours of battery life…
Use rubber bands criss crossed over the phone.
You know those leather/felt/vinyl pouches that lenses often come with but usually just get left in the box? Loop the drawstring around something on the tripod head, and sit the phone in that.
Use an old sand bag or hacky sack
Duct tape :-)
I misread and thought you wanted to mount your phone as the camera. Screw it, I'll share my method for that anyway.

Kraft peanut butter lid plastic carves real nice.Well I found that the thread on my 3LeggedThing tripod fit the same thread that was on my selfie stick… so I just unscrewed the phone attachment of my selfie stick and put it on my tripod
If your tripod has a hook for adding weight, find something with a pouch and hook.
I use an old Nitendo DS padded bag to hold my intervolometer then use the carabine to attach it to my tripod hood. I have also used it with my phone.
Not that I do it this time lapse stuff but what about buying an el-cheapo case and then cut some slots in the case so you can run velco tape around it and a leg of the tripod - would end up a bit like the old cases you could get that belts went through, kinda.
or something simple like a plastic zip lock bag and punch a hole in the bag so you can tie it to the tripod.
