Pierre’s Wave switch, powered by the Zigbee protocol, is an ideal wireless solution for smart lighting control. Key features include:
1. Zigbee Connectivity: Offers reliable, low-energy wireless communication with other smart devices in the Zigbee network, ensuring a stable connection.
2. Smart Switching: Acts as a smart switch for seamless on/off control of lights, both locally and remotely via the Pierre app.
3. Multiple Device Integration: Easily integrates with other Zigbee-enabled devices, allowing for a fully connected smart environment.
4. Automation & Scheduling: Enables users to set up lighting automations and schedules, optimizing energy use based on time, occupancy, or other triggers.
5. Energy Efficiency: As part of the Pierre ecosystem, it contributes to reducing energy consumption through smart automation.
6. Retrofit-Friendly: This solution is perfect for retrofit projects, offering an easy, wireless way to upgrade existing lighting systems without the need for extensive rewiring.
Wave is an excellent option for those looking to modernize lighting control in both homes and offices, offering a versatile and efficient solution
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.
