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 it been added to configuration?
If not: Add it in the PIERRE Partner application.
Also, check if it's specified within the push button which lamp you want to control.
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?
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.
Lights, switches, and other devices except for sockets will be connected in a star pattern, but where should the star point be? Room-by-room, or can everything be in the house’s distribution cabinet?
The PIERRE system uses star wiring, meaning every device to be controlled must be wired to a central location – the distribution box of the PIERRE Controllers. This box can be separated from high-voltage wiring or combined with it. In some cases, star points are created per floor, with each floor having its own PIERRE distribution box. These boxes are all connected to the internet, ensuring complete system integration and control.
How should the lighting be wired?
For lighting, each fixture to be switched separately must have its own wire. If multiple lights are on the same circuit, they can be connected and controlled by a single switch. All wires must be connected to the PIERRE distribution box. The switch wires must also be wired directly to the PIERRE distribution box.
