Curtains control in the PIERRE smart home system offers an efficient and customizable solution for managing curtains within a home.
- Control through Smart PIERRE app and Automated Control: Users can manage their curtains either manually through the Smart PIERRE mobile app or automate their operation with schedules. The app allows users to easily open or close curtains with a simple command and set them to operate automatically at specific times of the day. For instance, curtains can be scheduled to open in the morning to let in natural light and close in the evening to ensure privacy.
- Integration with Smart Home Devices: The system integrates seamlessly with other smart home devices and sensors, responding to environmental factors such as sunlight, temperature, and room occupancy. This enables automatic adjustments that enhance comfort and energy efficiency. For example, curtains can be programmed to close during the hottest part of the day to block out heat, reducing the need for air conditioning and maintaining a cooler indoor temperature.
- Motorized Operation: The curtains are powered by electric motors equipped with four essential wires: left direction (L1), right direction (L2), neutral (N), and protective earth (PE). These motors enable smooth and precise movement, allowing curtains to be adjusted to any position with accuracy.
- Automations and Scheduling: Through the Smart PIERRE mobile app, users can create detailed automation scenarios and schedules. For example, curtains can be set to adjust automatically based on time of day, such as opening with the sunrise and closing at night. They can also respond to environmental conditions, such as closing when the room reaches a certain temperature or when direct sunlight is detected. This level of automation ensures that curtains contribute to both energy efficiency and comfort, adapting to the user's needs and preferences without manual intervention.
- Real-Time Adjustments: The app also allows for real-time adjustments, providing users with the ability to override automated settings as needed. Whether manually adjusting the curtains for a special occasion or modifying schedules for changes in routine, the system offers flexibility and control.
The PIERRE smart home system’s curtain control combines control through Smart PIERRE app, automation, and scheduling, providing a comprehensive solution that enhances convenience, comfort, and energy efficiency in the home.

What to do if Blinds/Curtains don't work?
First we need to separate the PIERRE smart home system from blinds/curtains, to check if everything works without smart control.
How to check how the Blinds/Curtains behave without PIERRE smart home system?
You have to connect L1 or L2 directly to the fuse.
What to do if the motor does not raise or lower the Blinds/Curtains?
If the motor does not raise or lower the blinds, the motor only makes a "buzzing" sound, the relay should be checked again. On the relay, it is necessary to check how much return current the relay receives and whether it is a problem of relay burnout.
What to do if the engine does not perform any function, does not make a sound as if it is in operation?
If the engine does not perform any function, does not make a sound as if it is in operation, measure the resistance of the motor and determine that the motor is faulty.
When the relays and/or varistors in the relay should be checked?
If an error occurs that implies that the blind/curtain is lowered by pressing the button and returns independently when the button is released the relays and/or varistors in the relay should be checked.
