Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of operating a home automation system according to claim 1. It also relates to an installation for the implementation of such a method.
  • command orders can be sent either manually by the action of a user on a remote control or automatically by an automation generating orders according to different parameters (including time or weather parameters).
  • the group control and the individual commands of several devices can be realized thanks to the same remote control having several communication channels or several addressing modes on the same communication channel.
  • the same equipment can be controlled individually by a remote control and, as part of a group, by another remote control called group remote control.
  • a group control can lead to heterogeneity in the states of the resulting electrical equipment. This is for example the case when some of the equipment does not differentiate the types of orders, in particular when they react to cyclic or sequential orders of the stop / start / stop type.
  • each command emitted reverses the state of the two lamps, which has the effect of always having a lamp on and a lamp off.
  • a command button has multiple command functions. This is for example the case of a button allowing, on some remote controls, to control the stop movement of a motorized roller shutter if it is in motion and to control the setting in a predetermined intermediate position of the shutter if it is stopped.
  • the order of command issued has the effect of stopping the movement of moving shutters when issuing the order and initiate a move to an intermediate position for those who were stationary at the time of order.
  • buttons of these remote controls can be assigned to macro commands, that is to say, commands involving several devices in a group, so as to create a particular situation of use of such equipment such as for example a situation in which the video recorder is turned on, the television is switched on and receives programs broadcast on a given frequency.
  • a system for this is described in the patent US 6,642,852 .
  • an order transmitter has defined control keys, for example a user-activated "ON” key to switch on a specific device, or a "ALL ON” key activated by the user for start a set of equipment. The same is true for "OFF" or “ALL OFF” stop buttons.
  • Other keys may correspond to the activation of macro-instructions themselves comprising a start or stop instruction of a device or a group of equipment.
  • the problem is that some equipment must be controlled by a "change of state” command, while others accept defined commands, for example "implementation”. service “or” stop ".
  • the document of the prior art therefore provides the interrogation of equipment to update a state table.
  • the invention relates to a command transmitter for which a pressing on some control keys does not have a predefined meaning but a contextual sense.
  • a context-sensitive command key is a key for which the command expected by the user depends on the state of the equipment.
  • the same control key can be used to control the stopping of a movable element of a device when it is in motion, while it can be used to control the intermediate position predefined of this element when this one is stopped.
  • the same key can still be used to control the ignition of a device when it is off and to control its extinction when it is turned on.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to reuse the control button of a piece of equipment (and the ergonomics of control) to control several pieces of equipment.
  • the state of the art therefore makes it possible to envisage a system in which the states of the controlled equipment are tested. If the state matches the desired command, the command is sent to apply to multiple devices or changed (other function) to apply to that device. If the state does not match, then the command is sent to the device.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method of operating a home automation system to overcome the problems mentioned and to improve the known operating methods of the prior art.
  • the invention proposes an operating method for coherently managing the grouped commands to several devices.
  • the operating method according to the invention is characterized by the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • a home automation installation 1 comprising several roller shutters VR1, VR2, VR3 and VR4 is represented in FIG. figure 1 .
  • These shutters can be controlled individually from each other for example using unrepresented order transmitters. They can nevertheless also be controlled simultaneously by a transmitter of orders 2. In fact, these shutters may have been registered as belonging to the same group that is controlled by this issuer of orders 2.
  • the issuer of orders 2 can alternatively control all the shutters when it is on the channel 1 and individually control the shutters or some shutters when it is on some other channels.
  • the figure 1 further represents the state of the various shutters at a time t corresponding to the sending of a control command by pressing, by the user, one of the control buttons 3a, 3b, 3c.
  • FIG. figure 2 A home automation system comprising several lamps L1, L2 and L3 is shown in FIG. figure 2 .
  • These lamps can be controlled individually from each other for example using unrepresented order transmitters. They can nevertheless also be controlled simultaneously by a transmitter of orders 20. In fact, these lamps may have been registered as belonging to the same group that is controlled by this issuer of orders 20.
  • the issuer of orders 20 alternatively can control all lamps when it is on channel 1 and individually control the lamps or some lamps when it is on some other channels.
  • the figure 2 further represents the state of the different lamps at a time t corresponding to the sending of a command order by pressing, by the user, a command button 30.
  • the figure 3 is a flow chart schematizing the basic principle of the operating method according to the invention.
  • a user exerts an action on a control key having a contextual sense and intended to control a group of equipment.
  • a status indicator of the equipment group is developed.
  • a control command is developed according to the status indicator.
  • a fourth step 80 the command is executed by the equipment of the group concerned.
  • the command is developed, according to the status indicator of the equipment group, within the issuer of orders.
  • the command is developed within each equipment.
  • the figure 4 is diagram representing the communications between two equipment and a transmitter of orders in the first embodiment of the method according to the invention.
  • three vertical lines respectively represent an emitter EO orders, a first equipment EQ1 and a second equipment EQ2.
  • the process generally applies to a larger number of equipment but only two devices have been represented for the sake of clarity.
  • a user performs an action A1 on a contextual control key of the EO command transmitter to control the equipment EQ1 and EQ2 in a grouped manner.
  • the command transmitter carries out a status interrogation sequence of the equipment, for example by broadcasting to the group concerned constituted by the equipment EQ1 and EQ2 of a message BRC11 (for example a message of broadcast to the attention of all equipment) to which the different equipment responds: a message MSG11 is the response of the first equipment EQ1 and a message MSG12 is the response of the second equipment EQ2.
  • the interrogation can also be carried out by point-to-point dialogs. This type of interrogation sequence is described in the document US 6,642,852 B2 from line 26 column 8 to line 17 column 9.
  • a status indicator of the group concerned is developed.
  • this indicator is purely binary: it is, for example, in the low state if all the elements of the group are not in an identical state and in the high state if all the elements of the group are in an identical state.
  • the status indicator may also be more complex, for example in the hexadecimal form "XY" in which the first nibble X indicates the number of devices in a first state and the second nibble Y indicates the number equipment in a second state.
  • the action on a contextual control key "stop / intermediate position" can cause the transmission of a broadcast BRC11 of a message containing a particular code to all equipment.
  • the equipment for which the moving elements are in motion for example up or down
  • step S11 the equipment for which the moving elements are in motion
  • step S12 the equipment for which the moving elements are in motion
  • step S11 the equipment for which the moving elements are in motion
  • step S12 the equipment for which the moving elements are in motion
  • step S12 puts in the state down the group status indicator. It is thus possible to provide that a device having a moving moving element does not respond to the interrogation of the BRC11 message as soon as it has captured a response of the same state from another equipment.
  • the communication network is thus relieved of unnecessary traffic.
  • the development of the group status indicator is carried out remotely, in a particular equipment programmed for this purpose, for example the second equipment EQ2.
  • a step S13 shown in dashed lines replaces step S12.
  • the other equipment in the example equipment EQ1
  • respond to the interrogation with a message MSG13 addressed to this particular equipment.
  • the particular equipment EQ2 then transmits the group status indicator to the command transmitter by a message MSG14.
  • a control command to be applied to the group is then developed.
  • This control command can take the form of a general change of state command if it has been detected that all elements are in the same state.
  • This control command may also take the form of a priority control command if it has been detected that not all elements are in the same state.
  • the group status indicator is a simple indicator that indicates that all equipment is in the same state (all at rest or conversely all moving) then a state change command is applied to the set. If all shutters were in motion, they will stop upon receipt of this order. If they were all at rest, they will leave in an intermediate position upon receipt of this order.
  • a priority function command command is issued, for example a stop command.
  • the group status indicator is more complex and contains the hexadecimal value "4A"
  • the elaborate command is a general shutdown command.
  • a group status indicator "86" would have given rise to the development of a general ignition control.
  • This broadcast takes the form of a collective message of diffusion type to the members of the group as represented by the BRC12 arrow or it is emitted by succession of messages point to point as represented by the arrows MSG15 and MSG16.
  • Point-to-point transmission may only concern equipment whose state must be modified as is the case in the patent US 6,642,852 .
  • step S11 is adapted to the previous case of shutters and a command transmitter whose key has a contextual character "stop / intermediate position".
  • the status interrogation of step S11 is advantageously associated with the transmission of a stop command.
  • the broadcast message BRC11 contains an instruction to stop the equipment.
  • the equipment responds systematically indicating their current state (movement, rest), or only the devices in motion at the time of receipt of the message BRC11 respond.
  • the responses are represented by the arrows MSG11 and MSG12.
  • step S12 the internal group status flag is set to the active state if it is confirmed that all equipment was stopped.
  • step S15 is issued a command to go to the intermediate position, broadcast to all equipment (BRC12 message). If, on the other hand, the group status indicator had revealed that all the equipment was not already at rest, then step 15 is to do nothing since the stop order has already been issued when step S11.
  • BRC12 message broadcast to all equipment
  • the figure 5 is a diagram representing the communications between two equipment and a transmitter of orders in the second embodiment of the method according to the invention. In this mode of execution, it is the equipment that elaborates the command according to the status indicator of the group.
  • a user performs an action A2 on a contextual control key of the command transmitter EO for controlling the equipment EQ1 and EQ2 in a grouped manner.
  • the command transmitter performs a status interrogation sequence of the equipment, for example by broadcasting to the group concerned constituted by the equipment EQ1 and EQ2 of a message BRC21 (for example a message of broadcast to the attention of all equipment) to which the different equipment responds: a message MSG21 is the response of the first equipment EQ1 and a message MSG22 is the response of the second equipment EQ2.
  • the interrogation can also be carried out by type dialogues point-to-point, however a point-to-multipoint communication is a priori more efficient.
  • Each device records the nature of action A2 and then listens and records responses from other equipment, which is materialized on the figure 5 by an intersection circle between the message MSG22 and the first equipment EQ1 and by the dotted arrow of the message MSG21, directed towards the second equipment.
  • each equipment is therefore able to develop, in steps S22 and S23, a group status indicator. Then, in steps S24 and S25, each equipment develops the command to be applied to the group according to the action A2 and the status indicator of the group. In steps S26 and S27, the equipment then executes the command which concerns them by modifying their state if necessary.
  • the first embodiment of the operating method is also described with reference to the figure 6 when applied to the roller shutter installation described in figure 1 .
  • a user presses the stop button 3b. It is assumed that such an action normally results in bringing the shutter controlled to the intermediate position if it was stopped at the time of issuing the order and that it has the effect of stop the movement of the ordered shutter if it was in motion at the time of issuing the order.
  • a first test of the state of the shutters ordered is carried out before the control command is executed.
  • the command transmitter sends a status request, to which the various roller shutters respond by indicating their status (in motion or stopped) to one of them. shutters or the issuer of orders.
  • a step 120 these states are compared at the level of a shutter or the issuer of orders having received them. The result is then returned to the various shutters.
  • the various roller shutters all comprise two-way communication means and at least one of the roller shutters or the command transmitter comprises means for comparing the states of the different roller shutters.
  • all the shutters react, in a step 140, as if they were individually controlled.
  • the action of the user causes a change of state of the roller shutters: if they were in motion, they are stopped and, if they were stopped, they are set in motion to reach an intermediate position predefined.
  • the states are not identical, some shutters react, in a step 130, differently from the way they would react if they were individually controlled, because the control command sent to step 100 by the transmitter of orders is interpreted as a priority order common to all roller shutters.
  • the priority control command is a stop control command to satisfy security constraints, but it should be noted that the priority order could also have been an intermediate position control command.
  • control order is then interpreted, in a step 140, by the various shutters as if they had each received an individual command, that is to say that in the particular case described above, the order of order is interpreted as an intermediate position control command.
  • this installation can also operate according to a variant described with reference to the figure 7 .
  • an element (a shutter or a lamp) of the installation is designated as a pilot element and the behaviors of the other elements of the installation are modeled on the behavior of this pilot element with respect to the order of order considered.
  • shutter VR2 is for example the component designated as pilot.
  • the shutters VR1 and VR4 have a state identical to that of the shutter VR2.
  • a first test of the state of the shutters ordered is carried out before the control command is executed.
  • the command transmitter sends a status request, to which the various roller shutters respond by indicating their status (in motion or stopped) to one of them. shutters or the issuer of orders.
  • a step 220 the states of the roller shutters are compared to a reference state corresponding to the state of a particular roller shutter having been defined as a pilot roller shutter.
  • a roller shutter If the state of a roller shutter is identical to that of the pilot roller shutter, its identifier is saved in a step 260 to define, in a step 270, a first subgroup sg1.
  • a roller shutter If the state of a roller shutter is different from that of the pilot roller shutter, its identifier is saved in a step 230 to define, in a step 240, a second subgroup sg2.
  • the shutters VR1 and VR4 are integrated in the first group sg1 also including VR2.
  • the VR3 pane having a different state, its identifier is stored to form the second subgroup sg2.
  • the definition of the subgroups is complete.
  • the shutters of the first subgroup perform, in a step 280, the same command would have made the roller shutter pilot if it had been ordered individually.
  • pressing the stop button 3b causes movement to a predefined intermediate position.
  • a step 250 the shutters of the second subgroup do not react to the action of the user on the issuer of orders.
  • the definition of a pilot equipment makes it possible to define a model for the equipment of the installation.

  • the definition of the equipment group can be carried out conventionally according to various methods of pairing.
  • the issuer of orders can learn the identifiers of the different equipments of the group during a configuration session.
  • This session can include an installer action on each device to be included in a group (for example, by sending an order with an individual command when they are placed in learning mode), this action causing the sending of an information message to the listener listening.

  • Equipment being placed itself in a programming mode (by a particular maneuver on this equipment for example), it receives a message from the issuer informing it that it is associated with a given order issuer. It stores the information in an appropriate memory, so that when this command transmitter (or this channel) is operated in a command mode, it interprets the corresponding command as addressed to it.
