I can continue to translate to Swedish, if needed.

Same website for the translations as the last time?

Got it! Dutch translation is finished, it were just 2 strings?

Are you also working on the Apple Watch app?

I started working on the watch app some time ago.
However, I won't ship anything until watchos3 is released: it brings lots of interesting features, making it worth it to make a proper watch version.

True. I'm running on iOS 10 and WatchOS 3 and both have nice new features. Running Pilot in the watch 'dock' will be awesome and an easy and fast way to control my devices.

Currently working on x509 client certificate integration...
Tried to follow the Domoticz tutorial, but no luck there. I am stuck trying to set it up.

Would anyone have it setup on his own server, and willing to let me try on it?

Swedish I done now. Some sentences is difficult to translate when you don't know how it is used.
Will check how it is used when the Beta is released.

* Selector switch support
* iBeacon support
* iPad support.

I can confirm that the selector switch and iPad support is working like a charm!

Unable to test iBeacon though..

Does the pilot app act like a beacon, or detect them?

Pilot detects beacons: you need to register them in the app.

If you want your iPhone to act as a beacon, there are plenty apps in the App Store to do just that.

Nice, waiting for the beta to go into stable

Testen with an iPad (iOS 9) and iPhone (iOS 10). Everything is working as expected. Great job again!

I had a problem today. iOS 9 on iPhone 6s. The app was working fine during day with no problem but now in the evening when I open the app it crash directly. I could see it if I double click on home button, it was in the menu to setup a new server. I had to uninstall and install it again to get it to work.

Hi, I found a bug in the latest beta: if I stry to start the App with one of the 3D-Touch shortcuts the App starts but crashes immediately. Using latest iOS on iPhone 6S.

The beacon geofencing works, nice! Multi-selector switch also works.
Still really don't like the fact that setting a dimmer on to a certain level sometimes means swiping left, sometimes swiping right. Very confusing and bothersome, if the lamp is switched on from the off state. Please bring back absolute dimming like is done in every other App/user interface in the world!

The new beta is working fine on my iPad and iPhone on iOS9.

I have one issue with the selector switch.
I have a switch with 6 levels, so levels 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50.
When pressing the button which represents level 50 in Pilot, it's not working. The Domotic log says: Error setting a wrong level value 60 to Selector device 0.
So it seams to set it to level 60 instead of level 50.
The other levels are working fine.

And one feature request

Can you disable the possibility to delete Domoticz rooms from the Pilot app? I think all maintenance should be done in Domoticz, this also prevents that someone accidentally deletes rooms in Pilot.

What exactly is the "selector switch" feature? How can I see/use this in the Pilot app? Do you have a screenshot?

In Domoticz you can create a virtual switch with a set of discrete values (like: 'on', 'off', 'a little bit on', 'a bit more off', 'bla', 'boo'). In the Domoticz GUI you then get the option to pick one of those states. Or you could create a virtual switch to control the temperature for a room and have the values defined as: 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20. Then you can pick any of those 6 values from a radio group or selector.
Pilot beta now supports these kind of switches.
