Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating an automatic home automation system with a battery-buffered control center and the luminous flux network as a bidirectional, digital data path for standardized, keyed, frequency-constant signals, which control center receives commands from sensors and its own microprocessors and controls - sigale to the actuators.
  • the invention further relates to a home automation system, in particular with a combination switch, for carrying out the method.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method of the type mentioned and a home automation system, which allow simple, inexpensive and aesthetically pleasing control, regulation and display ben, and offer increased reliability.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention in that the current modems of the control center, sensors and actuators adapt the transmission power inversely proportionally to the impedance at the transmission frequency of the connected network.
  • the head of the home automation system also known as mini home automation system in apartments, is a control center connected to the lighting network, which contains data traffic, microprocessors with the stored programs, status display and alarm circuit.
  • the home automation system also includes sensors that send signals to the control center via the network. Examples of sensors are PIR motion detectors, residual light sensors, temperature sensors (inside and outside), moisture sensors, level sensors (oil level in the tank, water ingress in the cellar), smoke gas detectors, setpoint sensors for temperature, brightness and humidity and contacts ( Manual operation, doors, windows, open or closed).
  • the home automation system system includes actuators with the main groups of switches and displays.

  • the temperature, the humidity, a level or a condition in general are displayed.
  • the possible uses of the home automation system are therefore extremely varied.
  • the inventive, inversely proportional adaptation of the transmission power to the impedance at the transmission frequency of the connected network is to be understood such that when the consumer power is connected low, the impedance is high and thus the transmission power is low. With many connected high-performance consumers, on the other hand, the impedance is low and thus the transmission power of the network modem (s) is high.
  • a corresponding automatic system is arranged in each network modem itself, a separate network modem being provided for the control center and for each combination switch, sensor, actuator and intelligent socket.
  • the data transmission via the network takes place from and to all units, be it sensors, actuators or combination switches, via the control center which controls the data traffic.
  • the sensors and / or actuators are preferably cyclically polled by the control center under program control. If the response is missing or incorrect, the request is repeated several times, for example ten times. If the feedback is still missing or incorrect, the alarm is triggered.
  • Intervals are usually in the range of 0.1 - 0.5 see, depending on the size of the system.
  • the alarm intensity is expediently increased step by step.
  • the first stage for example, there is a blinking with red light. If after another multiple attempts If there is still no correct feedback, the alarm intensity can be increased by sounding a separate acoustic signal or combined with the optical flashing signal. If nothing has been done and there is still no correct feedback, a remote alarm can be triggered automatically, especially by calling the police.

If the person does not move for a long time, e.g. 5 minutes, the PIR sensor triggers the shutdown. If the actual values for residual light and / or temperature are above the relevant target value, the automatic does not switch when a person enters.
  • the residual light threshold With the manual adjustment of the residual light threshold, the possibility is created to adapt the lighting to the needs of the user and the function of the room. If the residual light threshold is set to the minimum, the light practically always switches on, which is particularly advantageous in dark rooms. When the residual light threshold is set to the maximum for activating the automatic, the signals of the PIR sensor are not sufficient for switching on the light. With this setting, the automatic light function is practically switched off. The possible intermediate positions for the residual light threshold can cover all the needs of the user.
  • the room temperature is raised in that - triggered by a signal from the combination switch - a known heat source is automatically switched on by an actuator. Depending on the heat source, the temperature is raised quickly (e.g. heat radiator) or delayed (e.g. radiator). With a thermostat set to the minimum, the automatic temperature control can be switched off, even in the long term, depending on the season.
  • a known heat source e.g. heat radiator
  • delayed e.g. radiator
  • This individual comfort temperature also called the desired temperature of the room, is reduced when the person leaves the room or during long periods of immobility by a value that can also be set on the combination switch or controlled by the control center, for example by 6-8 ° C.
  • the multifunctional combination switch preferably comprises a manual setting for the light intensity of the room lighting, for example with a dimmer controlled by the building management system. This corresponds essentially to a conventional combination in a switch in which the light intensity can be set using a dimmer.
  • the multifunctional combi switch expediently also includes a setting for the delayed light shutdown of the room lighting when the last person has left the room or remains motionless, and / or a setting for the delayed raising of the room temperature when the first person enters the room. This makes sense with regard to the light if the room is only left for a short time or if e.g. is read practically motionless with respect to the temperature when the room is briefly entered.
  • the adjustable shut-off of the light or raising the temperature is preferably carried out after 10 seconds to 30 minutes, in particular after 30 seconds to 5 minutes.
