Domoticz

Hi,

I can't find any IOS app that works correctly with recent releases of domoticz. I have a paid version of Pilot, setpoints are no longer working. There is no response from the developer any more, I see that others have the same experience with Pilot support. Domoticz app won't even connect to the server any more and it has not been updated for three years. Is there any other app/solution for IOS devices? I just hope that I don't have to switch to the horrible home assistant...

thank you

Why you need an app when the webui is as good? And it is Opensource so feel free to create your own version.

Or switch over to HA. All your troubles will disappear...

For IOS you can use homekit by installing homebridge and use the edomoticz plug-in

Homebridge install instruction are describe Here: https://github.com/homebridge/homebridg ... n-Raspbian

Edimoticz plug-in can be found here: https://github.com/PatchworkBoy/homebridge-edomoticz

It is a bit of work, but then you can use the Apple home app and Siri to control domoticz which is much better than the webui or the domoticz app

I have tried homebridge couple of years ago, but it was working only on LAN, unless you have some apple device (TV or something like that) which acts as a hub. Am I right?
So far, web gui as a shortcut on IOS seems to be only working option...

Great. I'll try this also
I see that homebridge-edomoticz last update was 2 years ago.
Is this plugin this maintained ?

That’s correct. HomeKit Only works outside the home lan if you enable either an appletv or HomePod as hub

It's also a bit of work to setup a free dns (no-ip...) & certificate (let's encrypt) but after this any device with any standard web browser does the job. No need for any dumbphone app, that's magic & just works not needing any third party mess since years, believe me!

When there is some work to make things just work: Go ahead with something standard is my advice.

But then you miss features like Siri integration. Very Nice to just say “hey Siri goodmorning” to my phone and have the heating and lights switched on. That’s impossible with a web app

Sure, did not even think about this use case as I'm really too suspicious to setup anything needing an always-on microphone in my home, being a physical device or a smartphone app... Dumbphones are even forbidden upstairs where the bedrooms are and that's common rule, so not only targeting my childs for obvious reasons (always easiest to ask for what you abide yourself anyway).
