PIERRE Partner - Motion Sensor
Description
The Motion Sensor is a wired input that reports movement in a space. The state is available to automation, notifications and alarm functions in the PIERRE system.
Configuration
To add the sensor:
- Open the desired Controller.
- Navigate to Inputs.
- Select Add and choose the sensor type.
- Configure: Name, Group, Role, Picture, Identifier and Signal Type.
- Submit and save the configuration.
To edit a sensor, open the Controller, go to the Inputs tab and select it from the list. The same fields are available, and the sensor can be deleted from here.
Motion sensor signal configuration
Select the Signal you want to use:
- Rising – Triggered when the signal changes from OFF to ON.
- Falling – Triggered when the signal changes from ON to OFF.
- Change – Triggered when the signal changes, regardless of whether it changes from OFF to ON or from ON to OFF.
- Change inverted – Triggered when the signal changes, with the signal state interpreted inversely.
The selected Signal determines which change in the Motion Sensor's signal will trigger the associated action or automation.
Fields
- Identifier — links the input to the electrical project documentation.
- Signal Type — the signal that the sensor produces on activation.
Automation Applications
- Switching lights on detected movement, with a timeout that switches them off again.
- Triggering notifications when movement is detected outside expected hours.
- Use as a condition in scenarios, for example suspending ventilation in an empty room.
Technical Notes
- Occupies one controller input.
- Reports movement only — it does not measure distance or direction.
- The signal type must match the sensor's output.
