The PIERRE smart home system integrates locks to provide advanced remote control and automation, enhancing both security and convenience.
Smart Lock Integration: Connects to the controller, enabling remote operation of doors or gates through the Smart PIERRE application.
Various Control Triggers: Users can manage locks using button presses, RFID readers, or automated schedules, ensuring that only authorized individuals can unlock doors or gates.
Enhanced Security: Significantly boosts security by controlling access remotely and monitoring the status of entry points.
Fail Safe and Fail Secure Locks: The system supports both types of locks based on operation. Fail Safe locks remain unlocked during a power outage, requiring continuous power to keep the door locked. Fail Secure locks stay locked during a power failure, necessitating power to unlock the door. This choice depends on the specific security needs of the installation.
Integration and Automation: The integration process involves connecting the smart lock to the PIERRE controller via a wired connection. The PIERRE Partner application is used to add and manage the lock, allowing for versatile control methods such as push buttons, RFID readers, or mobile apps. Automation options enable routines like unlocking the door upon arrival or locking it automatically at night, offering both convenience and improved security.

What color mean what on Controller LED?
Green – Online:
The controller is online and connected to the network, functioning as expected.
Red – Offline:
The controller is offline, indicating a disconnection from the network or that there is no internet access.
Light Blue – AP Mode:
The controller is in Access Point (AP) Mode, meaning it is broadcasting its own network, allowing devices to connect directly to the controller for setup or configuration.
Dark Blue – AP Mode with Pierre Partner:
The controller is in AP Mode, and it is actively being managed through the Pierre Partner system. This mode is used for more advanced setup or partner-level configuration.
Purple – Searching for IP Address:
The controller is attempting to obtain an IP address from the router or network. It is searching for an internet connection.
Orange – Firmware Update:
The controller is in the process of downloading a firmware update, ensuring that the system stays up-to-date with the latest software and features.
These LED color indicators provide essential information about the controller’s current status, making it easy to monitor its connection, operation mode, and maintenance activities.
Has the device been added to the configuration?
If not: Add it in the PIERRE Partner application.
Is the door properly connected to the GND and one of PIERRE's output?
If not: Connect it correctly according to the diagram.
To rule out the lock or wire malfunction, you can remove the wire connected from the lock to the PIERRE's output and touch it to the 12V. If the lock clicks, it means everything is working after the PIERRE. Alternatively, try moving the PIERRE to another available output (also change the pin in the Partner app accordingly).
In which state of the door/gate is better to use contact sensor to receive signal?
It is better to use contact sensor to receive signal when door/gate is closed, because in case that door/gate stayed half-opened contact sensor will send signal that door/gate stayed opened. It does not make the difference between opened and half-opened status, only between opened and closed.
What happens if there is a power outage?
If the power goes out, smart devices will retain their last state and resume functionality when power is restored. For critical devices, battery backups can be used to maintain operation during an outage.
How strong is the electric strike for locks?
Each electric strike has a specified strength limit, which can be found in the product details.
Should the lock be connected to the intercom or PIERRE system?
This depends on the setup. The lock can be connected to the PIERRE system, the intercom, or both if the intercom has additional unlocking features.
What happens if there’s a power outage?
Gate motors and locks can be backed up by battery power, allowing them to function during outages. Additionally, it's always recommended to have manual operation options.
