The Recuperator section in the Smart Pierre app allows users to manage and control their connected recuperator systems. Recuperators can be found on the Dashboard and the I/O list, providing convenient access to their status and controls.
Key Features:
1. Dashboard Control:
- Recuperators can be controlled directly from the Dashboard using the On, Off, and Auto buttons. When the recuperator is active, the system displays "Running (recovery)" to indicate its current status.
2. Advanced Settings:
- A long press on the recuperator card opens advanced settings, allowing users to adjust the Intensity, access the Automation tab, Edit other settings, and view the Used In tab, which shows where the recuperator is integrated into the smart home system.
3. Automation:
- Recuperators can be automated based on various triggers. For example, the recuperator can turn On when a presence sensor detects occupancy or turn Off when a window contact sensor detects that a window is open. Additionally, time-based automation allows the recuperator to operate on specific days and for set periods, such as from Monday to Friday between 5 AM and 8 AM.
The Recuperator section offers full control, automation, and customization options, ensuring optimal air quality and energy efficiency in your smart home system.
Recuperator control is quick and simple, managed directly from the Dashboard.

Automate your Recuperator in the PIERRE app by setting conditions based on the door and window magnet sensors and a specific time range. This ensures the Recuperator activates only when both the door and window are closed, and within a designated time period, such as from Monday to Sunday, from 8 AM to 4 PM.
