The Location Restriction feature in the Smart Pierre app allows you to restrict access and control of smart devices based on geographic location. You can set this restriction for a specific Building, defining a radius around it to limit where users can control devices.
Key Features:
1. Set Location for Building:
• The location is defined on a per-building basis, allowing you to specify a geographic point and set a radius around the building.
2. Permissions Based on Location:
• In the Permissions settings, you can apply location-based restrictions to users. This ensures that users can only control smart devices when they are within the defined radius.
3. Use Case Example:
• This feature is especially useful in office environments, where you may want to restrict employees from controlling smart devices from home or other off-site locations. For example, lights, thermostats, or other devices can only be managed when the user is physically present at the office.
The Location Restriction feature ensures tighter control over device access and enhances security, particularly in environments where remote control is not desirable.
