Best Domoticz Android App

The native Android app for your Domoticz smart home

Domoticz gives you a capable open-source server, but its web interface wasn't built for fast control on a phone. Pilot is the native Android app for it: Material You design, home-screen widgets, a Quick Settings tile, geofencing, and push notifications, all talking straight to your Domoticz server.

Also available on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.

Pilot for Domoticz favorites on an Android phone

Why Domoticz users choose Pilot on Android

All your Domoticz devices, natively

Switches, dimmers, RGB and RGBW lights, blinds and shutters, thermostats, selectors, scenes, groups, security panels and Evohome, plus live cameras, sensors and user variables. It covers the full Domoticz range in a fast native interface.

Real-time WebSocket updates

Pilot keeps a live connection to your server, so a light someone toggles in another room shows on your phone within a second.

Home-screen widgets and a Quick Settings tile

Place Favorites, Scenes or a single device on your Android home screen, and add a Quick Settings tile to your notification shade. Toggle a light or run a scene in one tap, without opening the app.

Geofencing

Turn devices on when you arrive and off when you leave, arm the alarm on departure, or set the thermostat by proximity. Android runs these in the background.

Push notifications

Get instant alerts when a door sensor opens, a motion detector trips, or a device changes state, so you know what's happening at home even when the app is closed.

App lock and history graphs

Lock the app behind a PIN or biometrics to keep your home controls private, and view day, month and year history graphs for any sensor.

Local-first and private

Pilot connects directly to your server, the same local-first approach as Domoticz. Nothing leaves your network unless you set up remote access yourself.

Built for modern Android

Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, Material You dynamic colour, light and dark themes, phone and tablet layouts, App Shortcuts, and adjustable grid density and tile sizes.

Multi-server, in your language

Manage several Domoticz servers from one app and switch between them instantly. Fully localized in English, French and Dutch.
