Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control device of home automation equipment in a building.
  • the home automation equipment communicates with the control device via a wireless link, for example provided by radio frequencies.

  • the number of devices often requires grouping by type of equipment (blind actuators, lighting actuators, locking actuators, to perform simultaneous commands, or transmit information to a single type of equipment.
  • other groupings are necessary depending on the location, for example: all rolling shutters on the ground floor, all blinds on the south facade, all equipment (whatever their type) of the stay ...
  • the patent US6,791,467 also discloses a universal adaptive type remote control capable of remotely recognizing the various equipment of the house and displaying on a screen, for example a touch screen, icons representative of these equipment and their state (for example: "known but out of reach ").
  • This universal remote control functionality is preferably implemented in an existing personal digital assistant (PDA) product. Pressing the touch screen above an icon activates a configuration file, resides in the universal remote control and / or downloaded from the device and displays on the screen a representation of the control panel of the equipment. It then becomes similar for the user to give an order by pressing the image of a button on the control panel or pressing directly on the actual button of the equipment. It is also possible to query the status of the equipment from the universal remote control, or a warning signal is sent to the remote control when a particular event occurs in the equipment.

  • the previous equipment is also called “Rolling Shutter Stay 2" when viewed from the default location icon ILOC0 or when viewed from the type icon ITYP2 "Shutters Rollers Lemon
  • This variant can also apply even when the selection of the equipment icon is carried out without resorting to steps 701 to 704 of the method, for example when the equipment icon is selected using the second selection means 150 or when using another discovery process.
  • the figure 8 represents a mode of execution of a method of operation of a home automation system according to the invention having a mode of setting or configuration of a scenario.
  • a first step 801 it switches to scenario setting mode, for example following a specific manipulation of the control zone 108. It then opens a grouping window of the scenario equipment. As in the previous cases, this window appears in superposition, or in a screen part specially assigned to this use.
  • a second step 802 the user selects the equipment participating in the scenario: each time a device is selected, its equipment icon is duplicated in the grouping window.
  • a third step 803 the user opens the control window of a scenario equipment and proceeds to adjust the degrees of orientation and / or deployment using the control buttons, as explained above.
  • the setting is the setting you want when you run the scenario later. It can however be directly applied to the equipment, for example by action on the first command button 603.
  • a third step 804 the user uses the specific control means of the equipment to fine-tune its setting.
  • a fifth step 805 the scenario is recorded, that is to say that all the adjustment parameters are memorized to be transmitted as setpoints during a later execution of the scenario.
  • control device makes it possible to combine, systematically or whenever necessary, both a virtual adjustment of the equipment (by changing the appearance of an icon or a representation of the equipment) and a real adjustment of it.
  • the user does not have to choose between a scenario setting mode where all equipment is adjusted virtually or a setting mode where all equipment is actually adjusted.
  • a step of recording the state of the equipment takes place. This step is like a "snapshot" of the state of the equipment.
  • This scanning method advantageously combines with the operating method and / or the training method of the invention to ensure that an equipment icon is selected quickly or is at best representative of the actual state of a device.
  • a control device 100 is placed in permanent listening of the communication traffic on the home automation network and it detects whether or not the presence of communication traffic on the home automation network. This is, for example, a step of detecting command order transmission or command order execution information.
  • a second step 902 is started, in which the scanning is carried out with a first frequency F1.
  • the controller individually interrogates each actuator to know its current state. Having knowledge of the current state, the control device updates the graphical representations of the equipment, in particular the equipment icons. The interrogation takes place in the form of a succession of individual requests or in the form of a collective request. In this step 902, there is therefore a request addressed to the actuators for the actuators to respond with information on their state.
  • a third step 903 is passed, in which the scanning is carried out in advance, for example immediately.
  • the anticipated scanning can be general, that is to say concern all the equipment of the network or be selective, that is to say only concern the equipment concerned by the communication traffic on the network.
  • this step 903 there is a request addressed to the actuators for the actuators to respond with information on their state.
  • a fourth step 904 there is, as the case may be, updating of all the graphical representations of equipment by modifying their appearances according to the new states or updating of certain graphic representations of equipment by modification of their appearances according to the new states.
  • updating of all the graphical representations of equipment by modifying their appearances according to the new states or updating of certain graphic representations of equipment by modification of their appearances according to the new states.
  • selection of one or more icons of particular equipment corresponding to one or more equipment whose position has just been modified.
  • the signal serving to direct the process to the second step 902 or the third step 903 is preferably discriminated so that step 903 is not triggered by any communication traffic.
  • the third step 903 is implemented if the traffic comprises a signal recognized as being a control command, issued by a control means.
  • the third step 903 is implemented if the traffic comprises a signal recognized as being an acknowledgment (feedback) emitted by an actuator when an order has been executed.
  • the third step 903 is implemented if the traffic comprises one or the other of the preceding signals but addressed to a specific actuator, the one currently selected on the control screen.
  • the user is informed of the relevance of the current status of the equipment icons. For example, if an update goes back more than a fixed time threshold, adjustable according to the equipment, then the equipment icon appears in gray to indicate that there is a doubt. Similarly, it may be displayed information on the schedule of the last update.
  • the method allows a control device 100 possibly using the operating method according to the invention or the learning method according to the invention and communicating on a home automation network with actuators 11, 21, 23, 25, 31, 33, 41, 51 to scrutinize the state of a home automation system. It comprises a request step 902, 903 addressed to the actuators so that the actuators respond with information on their state, a step 901 for detecting communication traffic on the home automation network, the request step is anticipated 903 when the result of step 901 of detection is positive.
