Permission Management

Updated: 31 Oct 2024
Description

Permission management in the PIERRE smart home system is an essential feature that ensures access to the property is controlled and regulated efficiently. To manage permissions, open the Smart PIERRE application and navigate through Menu, Settings, Users, select User from the list, and click on Access. Here, you can view, add, or remove access permissions for individuals, providing real-time control over who can enter the property. This process allows homeowners to adjust access as needed.

Key features of permission management include:

  • Flexibility: Homeowners can grant temporary access to guests or revoke permissions for individuals no longer authorized, ensuring that all changes are implemented immediately to maintain a high level of security.
  • Customizable time frames: Access permissions can be set for continuous access or limited to specific dates and times. If access is limited, it can be defined by a start date, end date, specific days, and designated hours.

Additionally, the system accounts for different time zones, ensuring accurate control regardless of the user’s location. This detailed level of control allows homeowners to manage permissions based on their specific needs, ensuring that access to the property remains both flexible and secure at all times.
