Smart PIERRE - Keys
Description
The Keys section of the Smart PIERRE app lists every door and gate in the property and shows the state of each one.
Real-Time Status
Each entry point shows whether it is locked or unlocked, and whether it is open or closed. The two are separate: a door can be unlocked and still closed.
Settings
A long press on a door or gate opens its settings, where the name and the security options can be changed.
Slide to Confirm
When enabled, unlocking requires a confirmation swipe rather than a single tap. This prevents a door being unlocked by accident.
Automation
Doors and gates can be locked or unlocked automatically from triggers such as the time of day, a motion sensor, or another event in the system.
Technical Notes
- Enable Slide to Confirm on every door that leads outside.
- The open/closed state requires a contact sensor on the door or gate. Without it, only the locked state is real — the rest is what was commanded.
- Review which users hold access to which doors at handover.
- Keep a mechanical key available for a power or network failure.
