Pilot: Home Automation Control (iOS app)

[rgroothuis]

Hi Patrick,

You know that I'm a happy user of your Pilot application. But what I notices lately (last couple of weeks) is that that the localisation service is not always working that good. When leaving home and/or arriving at home it is not always detected anymore. What has changed, what is happening? How can I debug this why it is not always detected I'm arriving/leaving home? Can you try to help? Thanks.

Cheers, Rene

I am writing to ask if there is a solution for x.509 Nginx authentication with Pilot. I am running Rev. 2 paid version. I sent a couple of inquiries to Patrick and received no reply. Has anyone been successful?

Thank you,

Hi Rene,

Location services are tricky to debug since Apple won't really let devs monitor that much data. Are you still getting those inconsistencies?

I so wish there was a simple way to support x509 client certificates!
As of today I have still not found a way to do so on iOS.
This feature is asked by a lot of users, so be sure I am keeping a close eye on this topic.

I am not gone. I simply started a new job, which took a lot of my free time. Now things are nearly back to normal, sorry about that!

Patrick,
Thanks for your reply. I do x.509 cert authentication to Nginx. The issue is that once i have SSL to Nginx, it doesn't proxy Pilot's requests to Domotocz, and I think that's the issue.

It looks like the geolocation problems I'm having have been reduced a bit but for sure they are not gone. I'm trying to find out in which situations it happens (not reporting that I'm away and/or home) but I cannot get my hands on it. For now it looks like it is randomly happening. If there is a trick that I can use to find out when it happens, please let me know.

I'm still have the Geolocation problems. Regularly (last time just 10 min ago) it is not being detected that I'm home or leaving home. How to resolve this.

What I will do now is deleting the location setting and create a new one. Maybe that helps. Will keep you updated.

Hi
I am a latecomer here, a newbee, the following question may have been answered but I did not find any.
I am using pilot 2.0.0, downloaded from iphone store recently.

I am using this app on my home local network, the Domoticz server is also installed on the same network.

I just realize the switch indicator on Pilot is not in sync with the status on Domoticz unless I activate "local server setting" and put in the identical information as my "Main Server Setting". This will only happen if I operate the switch manually using the push button on the switch. Does that mean if I use dyndns on my main server setting, the status will not be reported? What is the difference between Main and Local?

The switch I am using is the sonoff basic switch and flashed with espeasy. I made it work with Domoticz, but now this problem.

TIA

Further tests indicate that the switch status will not change even the "Local Server Setting" is activated if you stay on the "Switches" screen in Pilot. If you toggle between "Categroy" and "Switches" to re-display those switches, then the status will change. My test procedure is as follows:

1. The sonoff switch is off, Domotize off and Pilot Switches section indicator off
2. Manually Push button on Sonoff to turn on the switch, Sonoff on, Domoticz on, Pilot Switches section indicator stay off
3. On Pilot, go back to "Category" screen reload "switches" section, now that Switch indicator is on

Reverse also has the same issue.

The "Local Sever Setting" reported in above posting is untrue, it is the toggle between "Category" screen and "Switches" screen that does the trick. The Switch status will be updated only if you toggle between the two screens. You also can get updates if you turn off the app and reload.

Hi everyone,

I am currently finishing the dev of the next release of Pilot: 2.1

In order to finish it, is anyone feeling like giving me some help to translate the new strings?
All you have to do is get on this link and give it a go. Translation is needed for 3 languages: Dutch, German & Swedish.

Thanks for your help

[dannybloe]

I'll do dutch.

[mvveelen]

I was willing to help you out with the Dutch translation, but I see I'm too late

Ahah yeah, many Dutch folks out here maybe next time!

[CaesarPL]

I can help with Polish translation, if necessary

Translating the app to Polish would take much more work. Are you willing to do it all by yourself?

[zeputt]

I have updated all but two fields for the swedish translation.
I'm not sure what to call 'Geofence' in swedish and I don't have any good word for 'tap'

I can give it a try. It won't be week, but it will be pleasure to do something to improve the app.

I think our Dutch friends used "click" instead of tap, it's basically the action of tapping your finger on the screen. Is Apple using any specific word for that?

As for geofence, do you think using the "geofence" word would be OK for SW people?

That should be ok I guess
I've updated the file.
