  • the tilt sensor gives discrete values, for example a logic high level for a given range, and a logic low level outside this range.
  • a second step E22 the microcontroller implements one or the other of the software modules MODE 1, MODE 2 as a function of the detected inclination information. This has the consequence of activating a first mode of operation of the installation in a step E23 or a second mode of operation of the installation in a step E24.
  • the operating mode of the installation is entirely managed by the RCU remote control unit.
  • a first particular inclination value INCL 1 is detected, there is a transition to a third step E23.

  • the control commands are sent automatically by the remote control unit RCU, according to time information given by the clock CLK and / or according to measurements made by the first environmental sensor ES1 and transmitted to the remote control unit and / or as a function of measurements made by the second environment sensor ES2.
  • a fourth process step E24 is passed.
  • the second software module MODE 2 is activated, and causes a manual operation of the installation.
  • the control commands are sent by the RCU remote control unit only when the user intervenes for this purpose on the man-machine interface, for example by pressing the keys on the keyboard.
  • the modes of operation are not fully managed by the remote control unit.
  • the steps E23 and E24 of the operating method are replaced by steps E23 'and E24' which contain additional actions or substitutions for those which have just been described.

This plane horizontal is for example the surface of a desk. If the inclination sensor INCL internal to the housing is aligned to the largest dimension, it measures a zero inclination (or a logic low) and this value activates the first operating mode of the installation.
  • the second environment sensor ES2 measures a physical quantity, for example an illumination, which is used to automatically generate control commands addressed to the actuator.
  • the SCR screen displays, for example, the information delivered by the environmental sensors, and an "AUTO" indication to indicate that the installation is operating automatically.

  • the second ES2 environmental sensor is then in the optimal position for the measurement.
  • the figure 4 represents the same RCU remote control unit, which has been tilted to the horizontal position.
  • the inclination sensor INCL internal to the housing measures 90 ° (or a logic high) and this value activates the second mode of the installation.
  • the UP and DN keys on the keypad must be operated by the user to control the up or down of the PNL mobile panel.
  • the SCR screen displays for example messages of good execution of the orders transmitted, and a "MANU" indication to indicate that the installation works manually.
  • the position of the keys on a horizontal plane is this time conducive to good handling.
  • the fact that the second environmental sensor is mis-oriented has no effect in this mode of operation.
  • the human-machine interface MMI is further enriched by the possibility of generating particular commands related to a moving action of the housing in one or more directions, this movement being detected by the motion sensor POS.
  • the orientation instruction of the blades of a Venetian blind is fixed by moving more or less the remote control unit RCU as represented by the arrow MOV Y.
  • This motion sensor therefore advantageously replaces a potentiometer or an adjustment wheel. It includes for example an accelerometer.
  • An example of a screen in manual mode is shown in figure 6 .
  • the pictogram indicates the setting of the sun protection set up by the PNL mobile panel.
  • the screen can also be used in a programming mode, in association with the detection of displacements imposed on the housing, to move in drop-down menus, as is known from the state of the art.
  • the UP and DN keys of the MMI man-machine interface can be dispensed with by using a slight vertical movement MOV Z to report each validation, as in a "click" of computer mouse.
