What Pilot adds to your Domoticz setup
Instant device feedback at your fingertips
Domoticz already provides real-time data through its web interface. Pilot takes this further with a persistent connection that keeps your device states updated instantly in a native, fluid interface. Every switch toggle, dimmer change, and sensor reading appears the moment it happens, so you always have an accurate picture of your home.
Offline access and caching
As a native app, Pilot caches your device layout, room structure, and last-known states locally. Even when your connection drops momentarily, you can still browse your setup and see where things stand. This complements the Domoticz responsive web interface, which works well when you have a stable connection.
Apple Watch companion
Pilot extends Domoticz to your wrist with a dedicated Apple Watch app. Quickly toggle lights, activate scenes, or check sensor values right from your watch, without pulling out your phone. Ideal for those moments when your hands are busy or your phone is in another room.
Home screen widgets
Bring your most-used Domoticz devices to your iPhone home screen and lock screen with native WidgetKit widgets and iOS 18 Control Center toggles. One tap to control a light or check a sensor, without opening any app. A convenient layer on top of your existing Domoticz setup.
Push notifications
Pilot delivers instant push notifications for Domoticz events: door sensors, motion alerts, temperature thresholds, and more. Stay informed about what's happening at home even when you're not actively checking your devices.
Geofencing and location services
Domoticz offers powerful location-based capabilities, and Pilot makes the most of them with native iOS geofencing. Automate your home based on your location: turn on lights when you arrive, arm your alarm when you leave. All handled reliably in the background by iOS, no extra configuration needed on your server.
Siri Shortcuts and voice control
Pilot integrates with Siri Shortcuts, letting you trigger Domoticz scenes and control devices with your voice or through Shortcuts automations. A natural extension of your smart home that works hands-free while cooking, driving, or relaxing.
