Abstract:
A home automation installation includes several sensors, several pieces of controlled home automation equipment, and a control unit communicating with the sensors and the controlled home automation equipment. To control this installation, it is provided to select a control scenario by the control unit for at least one parameterized sensor from among the sensors, at a current moment belonging to a periodic time range from among one or more time ranges associated with the parameterized sensor, and as a function of at least one current value of the signal coming from the parameterized sensor, then to send, by the control unit to at least one of the pieces of controlled home automation equipment, at least one order depending on the selected control scenario. To parameterize the control unit, a procedure is provided consisting of choosing a sensor to be parameterized from among at least one periodic activation time range and/or at least one periodic inhibition time range and associating at least one control scenario with at least one state or a change of state of the signal from the sensor to be parameterized.
Abstract:
A method for configuring a control interface for controlling a system including one or more pieces of home automation equipment, the control interface including an information screen on which may be displayed a time scale representing a time period with a defined duration, the method including steps of: (i): defining a plurality of associations, each association being defined between a scenario for controlling one or more pieces of home automation equipment and a triggering instant defined within the time period, at which the scenario has to be triggered by the control interface, (ii): producing a grouping of at least one portion of the association from among the plurality of defined associations, the triggering instants of which are defined within a time interval with a defined duration within the time period, (iii): positioning a collective reference mark on the time scale corresponding to the grouping at the time interval.
Abstract:
A method for operating a control device of a home automation installation of a building, the control device comprising a data input device and a display device, the control device being configured so as to control the operation of home automation equipment items and communicate with sensors, the method including automatic operation configuration steps of selecting an icon representing a first condition for implementation of an action relating to the installation out of a proposed set of condition icons, positioning the first selected condition in a matrix table accommodating the condition icons, selecting an icon representing a second condition for implementation of an action relating to the installation, and positioning the icon representing the second condition on a same row or a same column as the icon representing the first condition in the matrix table.
