10 reasons to pair Pilot with your Domoticz setup
Full device support
Pilot supports every standard Domoticz device type out of the box: on/off switches, dimmers, RGB and RGBW lights, blinds and shutters, thermostats, scenes, groups, security panels, and every sensor type including temperature, humidity, power, UV, wind, rain, and custom sensors.
Always up to date, always in sync
Domoticz already provides real-time data through its web interface. Pilot builds on this with a persistent connection that keeps your device states instantly updated in a native, fluid interface. When someone toggles a light in another room, you see the change the moment it happens.
Local-first privacy
Just like Domoticz itself, Pilot respects your privacy. The app connects directly to your Domoticz server on your local network. There is no mandatory cloud relay, no third-party account required, and no data leaves your network unless you explicitly configure remote access.
Apple Watch companion
Extend Domoticz to your wrist with Pilot's dedicated Apple Watch app. Quickly toggle lights, check sensor readings, and activate scenes without reaching for your phone. Ideal when your hands are busy or your iPhone is in another room.
Widgets and Control Center (iOS 18+)
Bring your favourite Domoticz devices to your home screen and lock screen with native WidgetKit widgets. On iOS 18 and later, Pilot also supports Control Center toggles, putting your Domoticz devices right alongside system settings. One tap to control, without opening any app.
Siri Shortcuts
Create voice commands and Shortcuts automations for any Domoticz device or scene. Say "Hey Siri, good night" to trigger your bedtime scene, or build complex multi-step automations in the Shortcuts app. A natural hands-free extension of your smart home.
Geofencing and location services
Domoticz has great built-in location capabilities. Pilot makes the most of them with native iOS geofencing: turn on lights when you arrive home, arm your alarm when you leave, or adjust the thermostat based on your proximity. All handled reliably in the background by iOS.
Push notifications
Stay informed about what's happening at home with instant push notifications for Domoticz events. Get alerted when a door sensor opens, a motion detector triggers, a temperature threshold is exceeded, or any device changes state unexpectedly.
Multi-server support
Manage multiple Domoticz servers from a single app. Whether you have a main home server and a holiday home, or separate servers for different buildings, Pilot lets you switch between them seamlessly.
iCloud sync
Your server configurations, room layouts, favorites, and preferences sync automatically across all your Apple devices via iCloud. Set up on your iPhone and everything is ready on your iPad instantly.
