Abstract: Disclosed is a method for automatically configuring a network address of network interfaces of communicating elements intended to form part of a home-automation system for a building and belonging to an unconfigured network part, the unconfigured network part including a head network equipment item and at least one communicating element, the network address of each network interface including a network prefix. The method is implemented subsequent to the connection of the head network equipment item to a configured communication network arranged in the form of a hierarchical network including at least two successive hierarchy levels, the method including steps of: negotiating the network prefix of the network interface of the head network equipment item; propagating the network prefix to the communicating elements belonging to the network part with a view to the automatic configuration of the network addresses of the set of network interfaces of the communicating elements.

Abstract: Disclosed is a communication method implemented in a home-automation system for a building including communicating elements including home-automation and network equipment, the communicating elements being connected to an unconfigured communication network, each communicating element utilizing a predefined communication protocol, and having physical and network addresses including a network prefix cut up into a plurality of addressing fields, at least one of which is not filled. The method includes steps, implemented by a first home-automation equipment item, of: receiving a message including a compressed header containing a first destination network address indication field and a second indication field indicating a fully compressed source network address; obtaining based on the header, without decompression of the source network address and/or of the destination network address, a recipient network element identified, and determining whether the first home-automation equipment item is the recipient; and processing the message as a function of the determination result.

Abstract: Disclosed is a sliding window for a building including a motorized drive device and device for locking an opening member relative to a window frame in a locked chained position, having a first sub-assembly on the window frame and a second sub-assembly on the opening member. Also disclosed is a method for controlling the operation of such drive device, including, during a configuration phase, a step of determining reference positions of the second sub-assembly relative to the first sub-assembly. Moreover, the method includes, during a control phase: receiving an order to control the movement of an electromechanical actuator by an electronic control unit, and moving the opening member at a first set speed or a second set speed, as a function of the order received, at least one preceding order executed and the position of the second sub-assembly relative to the first sub-assembly, according to the reference positions.

Abstract: This multifrequency device (10) is configured to be connected via at least two conductors (121, 122) to an electricity supply grid (11). This device comprises: at least one radiofrequency module (13) comprising at least one first and one second input/output port (131, 132), which ports are able to emit and/or receive radiofrequency signals at two different frequencies; and at least two matching circuits (14, 15) that are configured to block the propagation of radiofrequency signals propagating over the conductors, each matching circuit comprising a plurality of terminals. One terminal (141, 151) of each matching circuit is connected to the first conductor or to the second conductor. One terminal (142, 151) of each matching circuit is connected to the first input/output port or to the second input/output port of the radiofrequency module. This device also comprises decoupling means (C1, C2) that are configured to stop the propagation of electrical supply signals between the conductors and between at least one conductor and an input/output port of the radiofrequency module.

Abstract: A method for controlling a shading device includes: moving a screen by electrical activation of an electromechanical actuator; determining a value of data representing operation of a motorised drive device during screen movement; and comparing the determined data to a first predetermined threshold. Depending on the result, the method includes: reducing a rotational speed setpoint of an output shaft of the electromechanical actuator if the value of the determined data≥the value of the first predetermined threshold, to reduce power consumed by the electromechanical actuator; or maintaining the rotational speed setpoint of the output shaft of the electromechanical actuator as long as the determined data
