BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Actualmente, ya son conocidos en el mercado diferentes tipos de dispositivos de comunicación que, a través de sus protocolos de comunicación, permiten el control remoto de diferentes elementos de una instalación. Currently, different types of communication devices are already known in the market which, through their communication protocols, allow remote control of different elements of an installation.
El problema es que dichos dispositivos, hasta ahora, solo cuentan con una determinada placa de protocolo o controlador (driver) que trabaja a un determinado rango de frecuencia para que funcione con un único y determinado protocolo de comunicación, ya sea con un protocolo propio de un determinado fabricante que trabaja a una determinada frecuencia, o bien con un protocolo estándar, que son los más comunes, como pueden ser los de zigbee, zware, homekit, alexa (el altavoz de Amazon), etc. que usan sus frecuencias concreta para cada uno. The problem is that these devices, until now, only have a certain protocol board or controller (driver) that works at a certain frequency range so that it works with a single and certain communication protocol, either with its own protocol. a certain manufacturer that works at a certain frequency, or with a standard protocol, which are the most common, such as those of zigbee, zware, homekit, alexa (the Amazon speaker), etc. They use their specific frequencies for each other.
Ello hace que dichos módulos se puedan utilizar con los aparatos o elementos que admiten el protocolo en cuestión, pero no con otros distintos y, por tanto, tampoco admiten modificaciones o ampliaciones de comunicación con otros aparatos o elementos que no trabajen a través de tales protocolos de comunicación, haciendo que su uso sea muy limitativo. This means that these modules can be used with the devices or elements that support the protocol in question, but not with other different ones and, therefore, they do not allow modifications or extensions of communication with other devices or elements that do not work through such protocols. communication, making its use very restrictive.
El objetivo de la presente invención es, pues, proporcionar al mercado un nuevo tipo de módulo de comunicación mucho más universal y, por tanto, con mayor versatilidad y capacidad de aplicación de uso de manera que, aunque estando inicialmente ideado para su aplicación en una instalación domótica, en particular para controlar de modo remoto el accionamiento de cortinas, persianas y toldos, con el mismo dispositivo, si se quiere, se pueda controlar cualquier otro elemento o aparato de cualquier fabricante que forme parte o no de dicha instalación domótica, o que se pueda incluir con posterioridad, independientemente del protocolo de comunicación que utilice, permitiendo controlar de manera remota, por ejemplo, la calefacción, la iluminación, el agua caliente, los electrodomésticos, la alarma, o cualquier otro aparato eléctrico de una o más instalaciones en una o más viviendas o locales. The objective of the present invention is, therefore, to provide the market with a new type of communication module that is much more universal and, therefore, with greater versatility and application capacity of use so that, although initially designed for its application in a Home automation installation, in particular to remotely control the operation of curtains, blinds and awnings, with the same device, if you want, you can control any other element or device of any manufacturer that is part or not of said home automation installation, or that can be included later, regardless of the communication protocol used, allowing remote control, for example, heating, lighting, hot water, electrical appliances, alarm, or any other electrical appliance of one or more facilities in one or more homes or premises.
