Description

The Pierre Wave IR Remote Control is a wireless device that allows users to control infrared (IR) appliances, such as air conditioners, by sending IR signals. This device makes it possible to integrate standard IR-controlled appliances into the Pierre smart home ecosystem, transforming them into smart devices.

Key Features:

    1.    Smart Integration for IR Devices:
    •    The IR remote control can convert regular IR-controlled devices, like air conditioners, into smart devices that are fully integrated into the Pierre system. This allows users to control these devices through the Pierre app and create smart home automations and scenarios.
    2.    Automation and Control:
    •    By adding the IR remote control, users can automate their air conditioners or other IR devices based on temperature, time, or other triggers set within the Pierre system. For instance, the air conditioner can be programmed to turn on or off automatically based on room temperature or time of day.
    3.    Line of Sight Requirement:
    •    One important consideration is that the IR remote control requires a clear line of sight to the device being controlled. Since IR signals are line-of-sight, the remote must be positioned where it can directly communicate with the appliance.
    4.    No Feedback Loop:
    •    Unlike other smart devices, the IR remote control does not provide feedback to the system, meaning there is no confirmation if the command has been executed. Therefore, users must ensure that the remote is correctly positioned and pointed at the device for successful operation.

By using the Pierre Wave IR Remote Control, users can easily integrate traditional appliances into the Pierre smart system, allowing for automation and remote control while keeping in mind the limitations of IR technology.

Troubleshooting
Does Pierre have its own thermostat?

Yes, PIERRE offers its own smart thermostats, which can be found in the thermostat product category.
 

Is a thermostat required?

No, a classic thermostat is not necessary. Instead, a temperature sensor integrated with the PIERRE system can monitor the room’s temperature and manage the heating/cooling devices accordingly.
 

If I remove an old thermostat, can I replace it with a PIERRE display for heating control?

Yes, you can replace an old thermostat with a PIERRE display, as long as the display includes a temperature sensor for temperature monitoring.
 

Can a display work as a thermostat?

Yes, most Pierre displays have built-in temperature sensors and can control heating/cooling systems just like a thermostat. All displays have relays that can send signals to heating/cooling devices to turn them on or off.
 

How can heat quantity measurement be solved with the PIERRE system?

To measure heat quantity, a PIERRE Pro Controller and an Intesis Mbus to Modbus converter are required. The heat meters are connected in series to the PIERRE Controller.

Can I adjust different temperatures in different rooms?

Yes, you can control the temperature room by room.
