Broken on iPhone 16 Pro Max since 2025.2.1 version - Update
Hi there, everything was fine until those two 2025 releases.
I’ve sent multiple emails explaining the issues, but nothing seems to have been done.
It’s really sad because this application was the perfect front-end for Domoticz before that.
The layout is the main issue. The application somehow considers the 16 Pro Max as an iPad, which is a problem in itself. Additionally, the font size renders everything unreadable, making the buttons unusable.
It’s truly a shame.
Update 1: This issue was resolved with the latest two updates (4 stars at that time with the first update, 2026.2).
Update 2: The latest update (2026.3) introduced a complete redesign and a lot of bugs. The most challenging ones are related to the search engine, and basically, nothing is working anymore. We have to compulsorily click on the “Home” icon to exit the defective search feature (back to 2 stars because of that).
Update3 (2026.6 version): The search engine appears to be functioning (thanks 👍), but all the other settings i’ve enabled, such as push notifications and keys , location-aware actions , Face-ID unlock, , and so on, have been lost and reverted to their disabled state. As a long-time user (I purchased the product many years ago), having to recreate everything from scratch is quite disturbing. 😭, the alignment between the labels and the input strings or value zone is also incorrect.
Another issue related to all the Day timeline charts is that it’s possible to specify up to 7 days of data retention period in Domoticz. However, the timeline shown in that case is messed up and highlights hours over a single 24-hour-based day.

Response from developer
Hi, and thank you for the updated review. I'm really glad the search is working for you again. 🙏 I'm sorry the settings reset caused you so much trouble, especially as a long-time user. I want to be honest with you: I haven't been able to reproduce this one on my side yet, so I'd really value your help. If you email me at pilot@patrickferreira.com with a few details (which settings were lost, your iOS version, and whether you use iCloud sync), I'll investigate right away and help you get everything set back up. The other two points I was able to reproduce, and I'll work on a fix for the next minor release of the app: - Settings layout: the label and value alignment is being corrected. - Day timeline charts: when Domoticz keeps several days of short-log history, the chart's time axis only labels the hour and repeats it across days, so a multi-day range looks squeezed into a single 24-hour day. After all these years your feedback still means a lot. Thank you for taking the time to report everything so precisely. I'll keep improving Pilot, and I'm here if you need anything. Best, Patrick

Don’t waste your money
Very expensive and doesn’t do what it says on the tin. The developer doesn’t respond to emails. Widgets don’t show data. Apple Watch complications remain blank. The free version gives you a decent view but the paid version adds nothing
Was great. Now ripping users off
Was great. Especially the watch app. Now they are charging for that. Vy all means add new features and charge for them but don’t start charging for things that were free
Great App and a savior for Domoticz & iOS
I was almost going to switch my home automation system from Domoticz to something else because the Domoticz iOS app was so bad. This saved me. Clean, straightforward, works great. Happy to pay for apps like this! Thank you!
Response from developer
Thanks for the kind words, glad you like the app! ;)
Excellent App!!
Love this app, works much faster than the stock domoticz app and includes support for Apple Watch. Latest update has increased performance even further, definitely worth downloading!
Goes from strength to strength.
New features come all the time. The main thing is it's totally reliable.
Works on local network and remotely. The geo fencing works. The notification system works and the Developer listens.
This is one guy doing this as a hobby I would imagine. He has done a brilliant job.
Happy to pay for the full version and to support his development efforts.

Excellent
Excellent app. 5+++
Erratic location reporting
Bought mainly for geofencing, which it is very erratic and often fails to report to Domoticz. Contacted developer, never replied, poor support.
"Light" version
At the moment I'm using free version and it's great!!! Easy setup with Domoticz, easy controls, clean design, fast response. Will buy Pro version to be able to use full potential of this app! Keep up the good work! :)
Today Widgets Missing
Still no sign of widgets under Today Notifications when running iOS 9
Excellent remote companion
When not home, I depend on this app for controlling Domiticz. Great app! Thanks for continued updates and new features.
Tried a few apps before settling on this one
App just works really well. Intuitive to use. Geolocation is great for alarm arm/disarm with Domoticz.
Great addition to Domoticz setup
Bought the full version. Love the implementation of slide to turn off, on and dim. Love the force touch from the app icon to access favourites and security panel. Handy having some favourites in the today view too.
Things I'd love to see added:
1) Favourite cameras so I can see them along with my switches without having to go through menus.
2) Some implementation of the floor plans.
3) Touch ID to arm/disarm the control panel.
4) Different colour schemes.
5) Siri integration.
Otherwise an excellent app. If you use Domoticz and have an iPhone, get this so that the developers continue to work on it.

Great app
Works seamlessly together with my RPI2 running domoticz :)
Great app
Very professional and well thought out app. Sets an example to the lousy attempts by professional home automation companies.
It is getting better and better
It works great. More features are added in by the developer. Really nice app.
Latest update changes language.
The latest update has changed the language from English to French.
There are no options to change it back.
Very disappointed!

Awesome
Dimming and restoring purchases do not work at all...
Best app in this space
If you use a supported controller system this is the cleanest and most functional all on the market.
