In the PIERRE smart home system, fans/motors are integrated to provide efficient room ventilation, either by connecting inside air with the outside or circulating air between rooms. These fans are controlled via the PIERRE app, allowing users to schedule on/off functions based on environmental factors such as temperature. Automation setups enable fans to run at specific times, ensuring energy-efficient operation and maintaining a balanced atmosphere.
- System wiring: Fans are wired through relay boards and managed by the PIERRE Pro or Lite controllers, seamlessly integrating them into the overall smart home system. This setup allows for remote control and monitoring via the PIERRE app, making it easy to adjust fan operation from anywhere. Fans can also be grouped into zones, offering personalized airflow management for different areas of the home. The wiring configuration is straightforward, requiring minimal hardware for easy installation.
- Energy efficiency: A key advantage of integrating fans into the PIERRE smart home system is energy conservation. Automations ensure that fans only operate when necessary, reducing energy waste. For instance, fans can be programmed to turn on when specific temperature thresholds are reached, and they can work alongside other devices like thermostats to optimize air circulation and cooling.
- Remote control and comfort: The PIERRE app provides remote control of fans, offering convenience and the ability to maintain a comfortable environment even when not at home. By integrating fans into the PIERRE smart home system, users can improve air quality, enhance energy efficiency, and ensure overall comfort with minimal manual intervention.

Does it work without PIERRE?
If not: Is it energetically well-connected and is there power? If we connect the digital wire to GND, the lamp should turn off; if we connect it to +12V, the lamp should be at maximum brightness.
Is the controller online?
If not: Check internet connectivity.
Has the device been added to the configuration?
If not: Add it in the PIERRE Partner application.
Are the GND and OUTPUT cables properly connected and does the LED on the relay board light up?
If not: Check the polarity of the relay, maybe they are reversed. To rule out the relay issue, provide 12VDC directly from the power supply to the relay signal wire instead of the output.
Are the wires connected to the relay?
If not: Check all connections of the relay. Does the Line (L) connected? Are the correct wires connected?
Which types of fan coil units can be integrated into the system?
The simplest fan coil units to control are those that can be turned On and Off via relays, with each speed level controlled by separate relays. There are also fan coils that can be controlled using a 0-10V signal, which can also be integrated into the system. Additionally, Modbus communication is possible, but in this case, it is important to consult the manufacturer or supplier in advance regarding the Modbus register addresses and the necessary detailed documentation to ensure the control process is implemented correctly.
