Description

The Valves category in the PIERRE Partner app refers to electrovalves, versatile components used in various applications, including heating, cooling, and water management. These valves regulate water flow by opening or closing based on the system's requirements.

Key Features:

Applications:
- Heating/Cooling: Electrovalves are essential in HVAC systems, managing the flow of water for heating or cooling. For instance, they can control the distribution of heated or cooled water to different zones within the system.
- Flood Prevention: These valves can be integrated into flood prevention systems, automatically shutting off the water flow in case of leaks or flood detection.
Setup in the Pierre Partner App:
- Users can configure valves by entering essential details such as the valve’s name, image, and role for easy identification.
- Proper configuration of the PIN where the electrovalve is connected is critical to ensure seamless operation and effective automation.

By incorporating valves into the PIERRE Smart Home ecosystem, users can automate vital aspects of water and climate management, significantly improving both efficiency and safety.
