Description

The Scenarios section in the Smart Pierre app allows users to create, manage, and automate a variety of actions across their smart home system. You can view all existing scenarios and use the Add button to create a new one.

Key Features:

    1.    Scenario Execution:
    •    Tapping any scenario allows you to run it manually or check if it’s connected to an automation. This gives instant control over predefined actions, like turning off devices or adjusting settings.
    2.    Automation Status:
    •    Each scenario displays whether it has an active automation, helping you easily see which scenarios are set to trigger automatically.
    3.    Edit and Customize Automation:
    •    With a long press on any scenario, you can edit its name, actions, and automation triggers, allowing you to fine-tune your smart home setup according to your preferences.

Example Scenario: “Leave Home”

Leave Home is a common scenario where the app automates various actions as you leave the house. Here’s how it could work:

    •    All devices turn off: Lights, appliances, and other smart devices are either turned off or set to auto mode.
    •    Alarm activation: The home security system is automatically armed.
    •    Lock all doors: All connected smart locks are automatically secured, ensuring the house is locked when you leave.

By setting up this scenario, you can simplify the process of securing your home and conserving energy whenever you’re away. With a single tap or automated trigger, you ensure everything is managed without any manual effort.

Good to Know:

• When a scenario is executed, all I/O devices are set to the specific states predefined in the scenario.
• Scenarios cannot revert the devices to their previous state before the scenario was triggered, meaning any changes made by the scenario will remain until manually adjusted or another automation occurs.

This addition should clarify how scenarios affect I/O devices and what users can expect when they trigger a scenario.
