Solution - PIERRE Alexa Integration

Supported Languages

English (US, UK, CA, AU, IN), Spanish (US, ES, MX), French (FR, CA), German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, and Hindi.

What you can do with Alexa + PIERRE

• Turn lights and smart plugs on/off, dim, and change colors
• Control RGB/RGBW/RGBCW lighting (including warm/cool white)
• Open/close window coverings (blinds, curtains, shades), including percentage positions
• Check and control thermostats (mode and target temperature)
• Ask for temperature and humidity from sensors
• Lock/unlock doors (with voice code) and open/close gates
• Activate scenes you’ve set up in PIERRE

Requirements

• A PIERRE account with your devices set up and named
• An Amazon account and an Alexa-enabled device (Echo, Echo Show, etc.)
• Stable internet for both PIERRE and Alexa

NOTE: Alexa integration is available in the English and Arabic stores.

Connect PIERRE to Alexa (one-time setup)

1. Open the Alexa app → More → Skills & Games.
2. Search for the Smart PIERRE (Smart Home) skill and Enable it.
3. Sign in with your PIERRE credentials to link your account.
4. When prompted, tap Discover Devices (or say “Alexa, discover devices”). Alexa will find your PIERRE devices and scenes.

Tip: After discovery, you can edit device names and room assignments in the Alexa app for more natural phrases.

Please note that if your PIERRE user account has access to multiple Buildings, Amazon Alexa will import and integrate the IO list of all Buildings. If you do not need this in such a form, it is recommended to create a new user account that has access only to the specific Building.

Scenes

• “Alexa, activate [scene name].” / “Alexa, turn on [scene name].”

Note: Scenes can be activated (on) but not deactivated via Alexa.

Notes & limitations

• Device names: Use the exact names from PIERRE, or rename in Alexa for easier phrasing.
• Percentage control: Use any value 0–100% for dimming and coverings.
• Temperature units: Alexa uses Celsius or Fahrenheit based on your Alexa settings.
• Color support: RGB lights accept 130+ color names; RGBW/RGBCW also support warm/cool/daylight whites.
• Scenes: Only activation is supported (no “turn off scene”).

Best practices

• Keep names short and unique (e.g., “Kitchen Light 1”, “Hall Thermostat”).
• Group devices into Rooms in the Alexa app for commands like “Alexa, turn off the Kitchen.”
• For locks, do not share your voice code; consider Disable Unlock by Voice if you don’t need it.
