Pilot 2026.2 — A Major Step Forward for Domoticz & Jeedom on iOS
2, the most polished and powerful version yet of the native iOS & Apple Watch client for Domoticz and Jeedom.
After months of refinement, I’m proud to release Pilot 2026.2, the most polished and powerful version yet of the native iOS & Apple Watch client for Domoticz and Jeedom.
Pilot was never meant to be a generic smart home app.
It was built for users who run their own servers, who care about performance, privacy, and deep integration with the Apple ecosystem.
This release pushes that vision further.
Why Pilot Exists
If you run Domoticz or Jeedom, you already value control and independence.
But too often, mobile access feels like an afterthought:
- Web views wrapped in an app
- Slow polling
- Limited widgets
- No proper Apple Watch support
Pilot was designed differently:
- Fully native architecture
- Real-time updates (WebSocket for Domoticz)
- Multi-server management
- Tight integration with latest iOS features
What’s New in 2026.2
This release focuses on refinement, reliability, and performance.

Privacy & Architecture
Pilot connects directly to your servers.
No cloud relay.
No device tracking.
No analytics about your devices.
If you chose Domoticz or Jeedom, you likely care about sovereignty.
Pilot respects that philosophy.
