Scenarion automation

Updated: 30 Oct 2024
Description

The Scenario Automation feature in the Smart Pierre app allows users to automate various scenarios, making it possible to trigger multiple I/O devices simultaneously based on specific conditions. This feature enhances the smart home experience by providing seamless control over various devices.

Key Features:

1.  Custom Time and Delay Conditions:

  • Users can add a New Time condition to specify when the scenario should activate, or a New Delay to set a delayed action after the scenario starts. This ensures that each step of the scenario follows the exact schedule needed.

2. Integrating Existing I/O Devices:

  • The system allows users to include Existing I/O devices into the scenario, ensuring that multiple I/O devices can be triggered simultaneously when the scenario is activated.

3. Simultaneous Device Activation:

  • The main advantage of Scenario Automation is that it triggers all the I/O devices included in the scenario at the same time. For example, a "Good Morning" scenario can open all blinds, shaders, and curtains simultaneously at a specific time, such as 8 AM from Monday to Friday, providing a smooth and automated start to your day.

4. Automated Conditions:

  • The scenario will activate automatically when the predefined conditions, such as time or device states, are met. This allows users to sit back and let the system manage multiple devices without manual intervention.

5. Manual Activation:

  • Automated scenarios can also be manually triggered by tapping on the scenario card on the Dashboard. When activated, the scenario's status changes to Active, and its icon turns blue. When the scenario is not active, the icon is gray, and the status reads Press to Activate, indicating that the scenario can be started with a single tap.

The Scenario Automation feature ensures that your smart home operates efficiently by coordinating multiple devices according to your schedule and preferences, simplifying daily routines and enhancing convenience.

Steps
Automated Scenario - Blinds/Curtains

You can create scenario for the Blinds/Curtains from Taskbar or from the Menu.

Creating a scenario for the Blinds/Curtains  is important because it allows seamless automation, improving convenience, energy efficiency, and security. Scenarios can adjust multiple Blinds/Curtains simultaneously based on time, weather, or light levels, helping to personalize your smart home experience and reduce the need for manual control. In this case automation is created based on the Brightness sensor in case when it detects level of light intensity lower than 75 %.
