Geofencing
Automate device actions based on your location with built-in geofencing for Domoticz and Jeedom.
Geofencing creates a virtual boundary around a location — like your home. When your iPhone crosses that boundary, actions are triggered automatically in your smart home. Think of lights turning on as you pull into your street, or your alarm arming the moment you leave. Pilot uses iOS native location services to detect these transitions and communicates directly with your Domoticz or Jeedom server over your local network — no cloud required.
Geofencing combines your iPhone's GPS and location services with your home automation system. Pilot sets an invisible zone around your home (or any other location) and communicates directly with your Domoticz or Jeedom server when you cross the zone boundary. Your heating, lighting, and security respond automatically to your presence — without opening the app. Everything runs over your local network, so there is no cloud dependency and response times stay fast.
