We consider the sequence of fractional parts $\lbrace \xi \alpha ^n\rbrace $, $n=1,2,3,\dots $, where $\alpha >1$ is a Pisot number and $\xi \in {\mathbb Q}(\alpha )$ is a positive number. We find the set of limit points of this sequence and describe all cases when it has a unique limit point. The case, where $\xi =1$ and the unique limit point is zero, was earlier described by the author and Luca, independently.
