Doors in PIERRE Partner application

Updated: 31 Oct 2024
Description

The Doors feature in the PIERRE Partner app provides complete control and automation for managing doors within your smart home, offering flexibility and enhanced security.

Key Features:

1. Adding Doors:

  • To add a door, select the appropriate Controller, navigate to the Outputs tab, and choose Door as the type. Fill in the form with details like Name, Role, Group, Pin, and upload a photo. You can enable or disable the Slide to Confirm and Hide Activity options. Set the Timeout to define how long the door remains in auto mode, and enable the Use Sensor field to indicate whether a sensor is actively in use. You can also add a new sensor. Tap Submit/Save to confirm.

2. Editing Doors:

  • To edit a door, go to the Outputs tab in the Controller, select the door from the list, and modify fields such as Name, Role, Group, Pin, photos, Slide to Confirm, Hide Activity, Timeout, and Use Sensor. The same process applies as with adding a door. Confirm changes by tapping Submit and Done.

3. Automated Scenarios:

  • Doors can be automated for convenience and security. For example, when an RFID reader is activated, the door can automatically unlock. Automation can also be time-based, such as scheduling the door to unlock at specific times during the day.

4. Seamless Integration:

  • Doors seamlessly integrate with other devices in the PIERRE smart home system, allowing users to manage access control and monitor the door's status alongside other smart home functions. Doors can be linked with keypads, RFID readers, or mobile devices for remote unlocking, providing additional security and flexibility. Multiple sensors can be used to track the door's open/closed state and automatically trigger actions like turning on lights when the door opens.

The Doors feature in the PIERRE Partner app offers a flexible and secure solution for managing door automation, integrating with other devices to create a cohesive smart home experience.
