Automate your Alarm in the PIERRE app by setting conditions based on the Motion sensor or the window/door Magnet sensor within a specific time range. The Alarm will turn on if the Motion sensor detects movement or if the window/door is opened, and only during the defined time period. This setup enhances security by ensuring the alarm activates when either condition is met, while preventing unnecessary alerts outside of the designated hours.
