In the Pierre Smart system, automation is the key feature that truly unlocks the full potential of smart living. This is the “superpower” of Pierre, enabling users to simplify everyday tasks through logical sequences that anyone can set up in the Smart Pierre app.
Key Points:
1. Easy-to-Set Automations:
• Automating simple tasks, like turning lights on based on motion or presence sensors, can be set up with just a few clicks. Users don’t need technical expertise to create these automations, making it accessible for everyone.
2. Complex Automation Possibilities:
• Pierre also supports complex automations that can involve multiple conditions and actions. For instance, you can set up office door automation where:
• Doors are locked by default outside of office hours.
• During working hours, the first person to unlock the door will keep it unlocked until the end of the day, when it automatically locks again.
3. Automation as a Lifestyle Enhancer:
• Automation in Pierre isn’t just about convenience—it’s about enhancing your daily life by removing repetitive actions. From controlling lights to managing temperature, or even securing doors, these automated tasks streamline your experience and free up time for more important things.
4. Flexibility and Adaptability:
• As life changes, so do your needs. For instance, when a new baby arrives, the automation setup in your home may need to change to accommodate different routines. With Pierre, you can easily modify or replace automations within seconds—no need to call a technician or specialist to reprogram your system.
5. Quick Edits on the Fly:
• Automation in Pierre is designed to be flexible. With just a few taps in the app, you can adjust or create new sequences, making it simple to adjust automation settings as your lifestyle evolves.
In essence, the automation feature in Pierre provides both simplicity and power, helping you automate everyday tasks and creating smart systems that enhance comfort and efficiency in your home or office.
