Sure.
- User variables
- User permissions
- New widget "Scenes"
- Polish translation
- And a lot of minor improvements and bugfixes
What would you guys like to have? Don't ask for Siri integration because it is not possible.

- timers
- triggers/events
- audio/media switches (play/pause/volume)

I'll check audio/media switches.
As for timers/triggers/events, can you be more specific? What are you trying to achieve exactly?

I would be very happy if the "slide to dim" functionality would work consequently, so that can always slide from left to right to set an absolute dim level.
Now one first has to see what the current dim level is and then figure out; if you want dim less then the current dim level then you must slide to the left or if you want more then you must slide to the right.
Not intuitive and completely different behavior then any other App has, so it forces the users every time to think about what to do. IMHO not how Apple stuff should work.

Some devices have timer options. See example. You can set a timer for once, weekly. Would be great to implement this.
For the events i mean the blocky part.
Possibility to create in app a event that for example:
if alarm = disabled set device idx = On
Don't know if it's is possible but would be a huge improvement.

Pilot is really about controlling your devices, not setting things up. I know it won't be possible to create events from the app. As for timers, isn't it more simple to create them directly in the domoticz web app?

That why timers would be superb

The Domoticz web interface ain't so bad!
Down the road, I am considering doing a new "Automation" tab in Domoticz that would include:
- Events: leaving and entering a location, or detecting an iBeacon (just like today)
- Timers: using the Domoticz timer system on every device
Unfortunately, there is not much else I can do in Automation.
Things are very limited on iOS.

It would be very nice if one could scan for nearby iBeacons in the location settings to find the proper UUID/Major/Minor values. Could that be implemented?

I have installed version 2.1 and have some small layout things.
When a dimmer is at 100% the circle is not centered.

In the scene widget maybe you can move the word Domoticz to the top? Now the second row with buttons is not fully visible.

How/where do you get this widgets from? I've search in the entire app but cannot find the Widgets config screen. Am I missing something?
