接著，針對控制裝置10之動作例1進行說明。圖6係控制裝置10之動作例1之流程圖。於動作例1中，將控制裝置10設為已與控制對象機器(照明裝置20、空調裝置30及通風裝置40)配對，並可與控制對象機器無線通信者。另，於動作例1中，說明了控制裝置10之動作，但控制裝置10a及控制裝置10b亦可進行與控制裝置10相同之動作。於動作例1中，上位控制裝置50起初未加入機器控制系統100。此時，控制裝置10進行第1模式之動作(S11)。於第1模式之動作中，控制裝置10之控制部12藉由使通信部11與上位控制裝置50發送之控制指示無關地發送控制信號而控制機器。具體而言，控制部12基於對觸控面板15之操作，使通信部11發送控制信號。使用者例如可通過顯示於顯示部16之如圖4所示之圖像，控制空調裝置30。又，於第1模式之動作中，控制部12藉由基於向觸控面板15之操作控制開關部17，而接通及斷開向機器之電力供給。使用者例如可通過顯示於顯示部16之如圖3所示之圖像，接通及斷開機器之主電源。接著，控制部12進行可與通信部11通信之上位控制裝置50之檢測(S12)。換言之，控制部12檢測上位控制裝置50是否加入機器控制系統(無線通信之網路)(通信部11是否可與上位控制裝置50通信)。控制部12例如使通信部11發送配對處理之請求，對於發送之請求有應答之情形時，與進行應答之裝置進行配對處理。此處，進行應答之裝置為上位控制裝置50之情形時，控制部12藉由配對處理之結束，判斷為檢測出上位控制裝置50。另，進行應答之裝置是否為上位控制裝置50，例如係藉由配對處理中自進行應答之裝置發送之ID是否為特定之ID而判斷。然而，配對處理或其他處理中，亦可對控制裝置10通知進行應答之裝置自身為上位控制裝置50，進行應答之裝置是否為上位控制裝置50之判斷方法並未特別限制。另，配對處理之請求可定期發送，亦可基於使用者向觸控面板15之操作而發送。又，配對處理之請求亦可非藉由控制裝置10而係藉由上位控制裝置50發送。控制部12檢測出上位控制裝置50之前(S12為”否(No)”)，繼續第1模式之動作(S11)。另一方面，控制部12於第1模式之動作中檢測出上位控制裝置50之情形時，將第1模式之動作切換成第2模式之動作(S13)。於第2模式之動作中，控制部12基於通信部11接收之控制指示，使通信部11發送控制信號，藉此控制機器。換言之，控制部12使通信部11發送與由控制指示所指示之控制內容相同之控制內容之控制信號。於第2模式之動作中，對上位控制裝置50賦予機器之控制權限，控制裝置10作為控制指示之中繼器發揮功能。根據第2模式之動作，使用者藉由操作資訊終端60，而可控制照明裝置20、空調裝置30及通風裝置40。又，根據第2模式之動作，使用者藉由操作資訊終端60，而可一併控制控制裝置10之控制對象機器、控制裝置10a之控制對象機器、及控制裝置10b之控制對象機器。具體而言，使用者藉由操作資訊終端60，而可不進入各房間地將設施101內之控制對象機器一併切斷電源。又，根據第2模式之動作，使用者容易使上位控制裝置50及複數個控制裝置協作(連動)。於第2模式之動作中，亦可於控制裝置10、控制裝置10a及控制裝置10b之各顯示部16，顯示用以控制設施101內之所有機器之圖標(按鍵)。該情形時，例如若對控制裝置10進行用以控制控制裝置10a之控制對象機器之操作，則控制裝置10對上位控制裝置50進行通知，上位控制裝置50基於該通知對控制裝置10a發送控制指示。控制裝置10a基於控制指示對上述控制對象機器發送控制信號。藉此，使用者可藉由向控制裝置10進行操作，而控制控制裝置10a之控制對象機器。另，用以控制設施101內之所有機器之圖標亦可僅顯示於控制裝置10、控制裝置10a及控制裝置10b中特定之控制裝置之顯示部16。例如，使用者外出時使用之用以斷開設施101內之所有機器之圖標無需顯示於設施101內之所有控制裝置之顯示部16。用以斷開設施101內之所有機器之圖標例如顯示於配置於玄關或離玄關最近之位置之控制裝置之顯示部16為佳。如此，於第2模式之動作中，與第1模式之動作相同，使用者亦可藉由操作控制裝置10之觸控面板15而由無線通信控制機器。然而，於第2模式之動作中，亦可將對於觸控面板15之操作設為無效。即，於第2模式之動作中，控制部12亦可禁止使通信部11與控制指示無關地發送控制信號，而僅作為控制指示之中繼器動作。換言之，控制部12於第2模式之動作中亦可不進行自發地發送控制信號。藉此，將具有控制權限之裝置一元化。若有複數個具有控制權限之裝置，則有產生需要設定控制之優先度之情形。又，藉由一個使用者操作一個控制裝置，亦可能發生如操作其他控制裝置之其他使用者進行不經意之控制般之事態。若將具有控制權限之裝置一元化，則可抑制此種事態之產生。又，於第2模式之動作中，與第1模式之動作相同，基於使用者對於觸控面板15之操作，而控制部12控制開關部17。然而，於第2模式之動作中，控制部12亦可基於對於觸控面板15之操作，而禁止控制開關部17。具體而言，於第2模式之動作中，開關部17亦可藉由控制部12，以維持向機器供給電力之狀態(接通電力供給之狀態)固定。藉此，藉由斷開控制對象機器之主電源，而抑制變成無法由上位控制裝置50控制控制對象機器之事態。以上，針對控制裝置10之動作例1進行了說明。如動作例1所示，控制裝置10具有擴張性，若上位控制裝置50加入機器控制系統100，則可基於上位控制裝置50發送之控制指示而動作。另，於第2模式之動作中，若控制裝置10檢測出上位控制裝置50自機器控制系統100(無線通信網路)脫離，則將第2模式之動作切換成第1模式之動作。 [動作例2] 控制裝置10亦可基於與設施101關聯之環境資訊來控制機器。以下，針對控制裝置10之動作例2進行說明。圖7係控制裝置10之動作例2之流程圖。另，於動作例2中，係說明控制裝置10之動作，但控制裝置10a及控制裝置10b亦可進行與控制裝置10相同之動作。首先，通信部11接收房間102內之溫度資訊作為環境資訊(S21)。具體而言，通信部11自空調裝置30所具備之溫濕度計測裝置31接收溫度資訊。接著，控制部12基於通信部11接收之溫度資訊而使通信部11發送控制信號，藉此控制空調裝置30(S22)。具體而言，控制部12使通信部11發送用以使接收到之溫度資訊所示之溫度接近設定溫度之控制信號。如此，控制裝置10可基於環境資訊控制設置於設施101之機器(例如空調裝置30)。另，通信部11亦可接收複數種環境資訊。例如，通信部11亦可接收溫度資訊、濕度資訊及外氣溫資訊中之2者以上。該情形時，控制部12基於接收到之複數種環境資訊，使通信部11發送控制信號。又，步驟S22中受控制之機器不限於空調裝置30。於步驟S22中，亦可控制照明裝置20或通風裝置40。於步驟S22中，亦可控制複數台機器。又，於第2模式之動作中，上位控制裝置50亦可基於與設施101關聯之環境資訊控制機器。該情形時，控制裝置10之通信部11接收環境資訊，且將接收之環境資訊發送至上位控制裝置。上位控制裝置50基於接收之環境資訊發送控制指示。 [效果等] 如上說明，控制裝置10具備：通信部11，其與設置於設施101之機器進行通信，且用以與可對控制裝置10發送控制指示之上位控制裝置50進行通信；及控制部12，其藉由使通信部11與控制指示無關地發送控制信號，而進行控制機器之第1模式之動作。控制部12於檢測出可與通信部11通信之上位控制裝置之情形時，將第1模式之動作切換成第2模式之動作，於第2模式之動作中，基於通信部11接收之控制指示而使通信部11發送控制信號，藉此控制機器。通信部11係第1通信部及第2通信部之一例，上位控制裝置50係控制指示裝置之一例。藉此，若上位控制裝置50加入機器控制系統100，則控制裝置10可基於上位控制裝置50發送之控制指示而動作。即，實現具有擴張性之控制裝置10。又，通信部11亦可進而自環境計測裝置接收與設施101關聯之環境資訊。控制部12亦可進而藉由基於通信部11接收之環境資訊，使通信部11發送控制信號，而控制機器。通信部11係第3通信部之一例。藉此，控制裝置10可基於環境資訊控制設置於設施101之機器。又，控制裝置10亦可設置於設施101之壁面。控制裝置10亦可進而具備：由使用者操作之觸控面板15；顯示部16，其與觸控面板15對向配置，並顯示圖像；及開關部17，其基於向觸控面板15之操作，接通及斷開向機器之電力供給。藉此，控制裝置10亦可作為所謂壁開關而動作。又，控制部12於第2模式之動作中，亦可禁止使通信部11與控制指示無關地發送控制信號。藉此，將具有控制權限之裝置一元化，抑制因有複數個具有控制權限之裝置而產生之事態的產生。又，上位控制裝置50亦可對包含控制裝置10之複數個控制裝置發送控制指示。藉此，上位控制裝置50可與複數個控制裝置一併進行控制指示。又，通信部11亦可與機器進行無線通信，且與上位控制裝置50進行無線通信。藉此，控制裝置10可藉由無線通信對機器發送控制信號。又，控制裝置10可藉由無線通信自上階控制裝置50接收控制指示。又，控制裝置10執行之設置於設施101之機器之控制方法藉由與控制指示無關地發送控制信號，而進行控制機器之第1模式之動作。上述控制方法於檢測出可與控制裝置10通信之上位控制裝置50之情形時，將第1模式之動作切換成第2模式之動作，於第2模式之動作中，藉由基於接收之控制指示發送控制信號而控制機器。上位控制裝置50係控制指示裝置之一例。藉此，若上位控制裝置50加入機器控制系統100，則控制裝置10可基於上位控制裝置50發送之控制指示而動作。即，實現具有擴張性之控制裝置10。

embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, any one of the embodiments described below is a general or specific example. The numerical values, shapes, materials, constituent elements, arrangement positions and connection forms, steps, and order of steps of the following embodiments are examples, and do not limit the gist of the present invention. In addition, among the constituent elements of the following embodiments, constituent elements not described in the independent request item showing the highest-level concept will be described as arbitrary constituent elements. In addition, each diagram is a schematic diagram, and is not necessarily a strict diagram. In addition, in each figure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the structure which is substantially the same, and repeated description is abbreviate | omitted. (Embodiment) [Configuration of Machine Control System] First, a configuration of a machine control system according to an embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of a machine control system according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the machine control system 100 is a system installed in the facility 101 for controlling the machines installed in the facility 101. The facility 101 is, for example, a single-family house. The facility 101 includes a plurality of rooms separated by walls and doors. The plurality of rooms are specifically a room 102, a room 102a, and a room 102b. In the machine control system 100, a control device is installed in each room. The control device 10 is installed in the room 102, the control device 10a is installed in the room 102a, and the control device 10b is installed in the room 102b. Hereinafter, the control device 10 is mainly described, but the control device 10a and the control device 10b have the same configuration. The control device 10 is a controller used by a user to control the lighting device 20, the air-conditioning device 30, and the ventilation device 40 provided in the room 102. The control device 10 also functions as a so-called wall switch (wall switch device). FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the control device 10. FIG. 3 is a front view of the control device 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the control device 10 is disposed on a wall surface 103 of the room 102. The control device 10 is installed on the wall surface 103 in a state where at least a part of the frame body 18 is housed in the switch box 104 embedded in the wall surface 103. The installation method of the control device 10 is substantially the same as that of a general-purpose wall switch, and the switch box 104 can also be used by a wall switch. As shown in FIG. 3, the control device 10 functions as a so-called GUI (Graphical User Interface), and displays, for example, an image including an icon (key) on the display unit 16 of the control device 10. When the user touches the icon portion of the operation display portion 16 (touch panel), the power supply to each device of the lighting device 20, the air conditioning device 30, and the ventilation device 40 can be turned on and off. In addition, an image for performing detailed control of each of the above-mentioned devices is also displayed on the display section 16 of the control device 10. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of an image for controlling the air-conditioning apparatus 30. Based on the image shown in FIG. 4, the user can switch the operation mode of the air conditioner 30 and change the set temperature. For example, by sliding operation on the display portion 16 (touch panel 15), the image shown in FIG. 3 is converted into the image shown in FIG. 4. In addition, although not shown in the figure, an image for performing dimming control and toning control of the lighting device 20 and air volume control of the ventilation device 40 may be displayed on the display unit 16. Here, it is assumed that a high-level control device 50 is newly introduced to the machine control system 100 in which the control device 10, the control device 10a, and the control device 10b are already installed. In such a case, it is preferable to minimize the construction and the like so that it can be easily introduced into the high-level control device 50. The machine control system 100 is characterized by considering the subsequent addition of a higher-level control device 50. The details of the machine control system 100 are described below. Fig. 5 is a block diagram showing the machine control system of the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, specifically, the machine control system 100 includes a control device 10, a control device 10a, a control device 10b, a lighting device 20, a lighting device 20a, a lighting device 20b, an air-conditioning device 30, an air-conditioning device 30a, and an air-conditioning device 30b. . The device control system 100 includes a ventilation device 40, a ventilation device 40a, a ventilation device 40b, a higher-level control device 50, an information terminal 60, and an outdoor unit 80. In addition, FIG. 5 also illustrates the power system 70 as an external power source. Hereinafter, each constituent element constituting the machine control system 100 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 1 and 5. [Control device] As described above, the control device is a controller provided in one room for a user to control a machine installed in the room, for example. As long as the control device can control at least one machine, it can also control multiple machines with different functions. The machine control system 100 only needs to include at least one control device. In the embodiment, the control device 10 installed in the room 102 controls the lighting device 20, the air-conditioning device 30, and the ventilation device 40. In other words, the lighting device 20, the air-conditioning device 30, and the ventilation device 40 are controlled devices of the control device 10. Similarly, the control device 10a installed in the room 102a controls the lighting device 20a, the air-conditioning device 30a, and the ventilation device 40a. The lighting device 20a, the air-conditioning device 30a, and the ventilation device 40a are control targets of the control device 10a. The control device 10b installed in the room 102b controls the lighting device 20b, the air-conditioning device 30b, and the ventilation device 40b. In other words, the lighting device 20b, the air-conditioning device 30b, and the ventilation device 40b are the control target devices of the control device 10b. Hereinafter, a detailed configuration of the control device 10 will be described. Since the control device 10a and the control device 10b have the same configuration as the control device 10, detailed description is omitted. Specifically, the control device 10 includes a communication section 11, a control section 12, a memory section 13, a power supply section 14, a touch panel 15, a display section 16, and a switch section 17. As shown in FIG. 2, the control device 10 includes a housing 18. The communication unit 11 is an example of the first communication unit, and performs wireless communication with a device installed in the facility 101. Specifically, the communication unit 11 wirelessly transmits control signals to the lighting device 20, the air-conditioning device 30, and the ventilation device 40 based on the control of the control unit 12. Specifically, the communication unit 11 is a communication module (communication circuit) for wireless communication. In addition, basically, the control device 10 may not perform wireless communication with other control devices (the control device 10a and the control device 10b), and may also perform wireless communication with other control devices. The control device 10 performs wireless communication using a small-scale network in the facility 101. Therefore, basically, the control device 10 cannot be connected to the network, but can be connected to the network via a router or the like. The communication unit 11 is an example of a second communication unit, and can perform wireless communication with the host control device 50. The higher-level control device 50 sends a control instruction to the control device 10 in order for the control device 10 to control the lighting device 20, the air-conditioning device 30, and the ventilation device 40. The communication unit 11 is an example of the third communication unit, and receives environmental information related to the facility 101 from the environmental measurement device through wireless communication. The environmental measurement device is, for example, the temperature and humidity measurement device 31 included in the air conditioner 30, and the environmental information is temperature information and humidity information measured by the temperature and humidity measurement device 31. That is, the communication unit 11 receives temperature information and humidity information from the temperature and humidity measuring device 31. In addition, the environmental measurement device is, for example, an outdoor unit 80 (illustrated in FIG. 1), and the environmental information may also be displayed as temperature information outside the temperature outside the facility 101 measured by the outdoor unit 80. That is, the communication unit 11 may also receive outside temperature information from the outdoor unit 80. In this case, the outdoor unit 80 includes a communication module (communication circuit) for performing wireless communication with the communication unit 11. In addition, the environmental measurement device may receive temperature information, humidity information, and outside temperature information from a temperature and humidity measurement device that is separate from any of the air conditioning device 30 and the outdoor unit 80. In this case, the separate temperature and humidity measuring device includes a communication module (communication circuit) for wireless communication with the communication unit 11. The control unit 12 controls the lighting device 20, the air-conditioning device 30, and the ventilation device 40 by causing the communication unit 11 to wirelessly transmit a control signal. The control unit 12 controls the switch unit 17 based on the operation on the touch panel 15. That is, the control unit 12 controls ON and OFF of the power supply to the lighting device 20, the air-conditioning device 30, and the ventilation device 40. The control unit 12 displays an image on the display unit 16. Specifically, the control unit 12 is implemented by a processor, a microcomputer, or a dedicated circuit. The specific operation of the control unit 12 will be described later. The memory unit 13 is a memory device such as a control program executed by the memory control unit 12. Specifically, the memory section 13 is realized by a semiconductor memory or the like. The power source unit 14 converts AC power supplied from the power system 70 into DC power suitable for the operation of the control device 10, and supplies the DC power to each of the constituent elements provided in the control device 10. Specifically, the power supply unit 14 is a power supply circuit including an AC / DC converter, a DC / DC converter, or the like. The touch panel 15 is a detection device operated by a user. The touch panel 15 may be a touch panel of an electrostatic capacitance method, or a touch panel of other methods such as a resistive film method. The display unit 16 displays images used by the user to control the lighting device 20, the air conditioning device 30, and the ventilation device 40 based on the control of the control unit 12. Examples of images displayed on the display unit 16 are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. Specifically, the display unit 16 is realized by a liquid crystal panel, an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) panel, or the like. The switch unit 17 turns on and off the power supply from the power system 70 to each of the lighting device 20, the air-conditioning device 30, and the ventilation device 40 based on the operation of the touch panel 15. That is, the switch unit 17 turns off the main power sources of the lighting device 20, the air-conditioning device 30, and the ventilation device 40. Specifically, the switch unit 17 is controlled by the control unit 12 based on the operation on the touch panel 15. The switch unit 17 includes three switch elements that are directly controlled without wireless communication by the control unit 12, corresponding to the lighting device 20, the air-conditioning device 30, and the ventilation device 40. The switching element is located on the power line from the power system 70 to each device, and turns on and off the electrical connection between the power system 70 and each device. The switching element may be an element that opens or closes an electrical contact such as a relay element in structure, or may be a semiconductor switching element such as a power transistor. The switching unit 17 only needs to include at least one switching element. That is, the switch unit 17 only needs to be able to directly turn on and off the power supply to at least one device. The communication unit 11, the control unit 12, the touch panel 15, the display unit 16, and the switch unit 17 are housed in a housing 18 (shown in FIG. 2). The frame 18 is formed of, for example, a resin, but may be formed partially or entirely of a metal. As described above, at least a part of the frame body 18 is embedded in the wall surface 103 of the facility 101. [Lighting Device] The lighting device 20, the lighting device 20a, and the lighting device 20b are each installed in a plurality of rooms in the facility 101. The lighting device 20 is provided in the room 102, the lighting device 20a is provided in the room 102a, and the lighting device 20b is provided in the room 102b. Hereinafter, a detailed configuration of the lighting device 20 will be described. In addition, since the lighting device 20a and the lighting device 20b have the same structure as the lighting device 20, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted. The lighting device 20 is an example of a device installed in the facility 101 and is a so-called ceiling lamp in a lighting room. The specific aspect of the lighting device 20 is not particularly limited, and may be a downlight, a chandelier, a spotlight, a wall lamp, or the like. Specifically, the lighting device 20 includes an LED (Light Emitting Diode) as a light source. The lighting device 20 may include a semiconductor light emitting element such as a fluorescent tube, a semiconductor laser, or a solid light emitting element such as an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) or an inorganic EL as a light source. Although not shown, the lighting device 20 includes a communication module (communication circuit) for wireless communication with the control device 10, and receives a control signal transmitted by the communication unit 11 included in the control device 10. That is, the lighting device 20 may emit light or go out based on a control signal received from the control device 10. For example, when the control signal has a designated dimming rate (dimming ratio), the lighting device 20 emits light at the designated dimming rate. When there is a specified color temperature in the control signal, the lighting device 20 emits light at the specified color temperature. In addition, the switch unit 17 controls ON and OFF (lighting and extinction) of the power supply from the power system 70 to the lighting device 20.

The air-conditioning apparatus 30 is installed in the room 102, the air-conditioning apparatus 30a is installed in the room 102a, and the air-conditioning apparatus 30b is installed in the room 102b. Hereinafter, a detailed configuration of the air-conditioning apparatus 30 will be described. In addition, since the air-conditioning apparatus 30a and the air-conditioning apparatus 30b have the same structure as the air-conditioning apparatus 30, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted. The air-conditioning apparatus 30 is an example of the equipment installed in the facility 101, and is an air-conditioning apparatus for general households. The air-conditioning apparatus 30 is an air-conditioning apparatus capable of adjusting the temperature of the wind sent from the air-conditioning apparatus 30 by having a heat exchanger (not shown) or the like. That is, the air conditioner 30 has a ventilation function and a heating and cooling function. The air-conditioning apparatus 30 is not limited to a general household air-conditioning apparatus, but may be an industrial air-conditioning apparatus. The air conditioner 30 includes a temperature and humidity measuring device 31. The temperature and humidity measuring device 31 measures the temperature and humidity of the room 102, and outputs temperature information indicating the measured temperature (room temperature) and humidity information indicating the measured humidity. The temperature and humidity measuring device 31 includes a thermistor or a thermocouple as a device for measuring temperature, and a polymer resistance type humidity sensor or a polymer capacitance type humidity sensor as a device for measuring humidity. The temperature and humidity measurement device 31 in the facility 101 may be a temperature and humidity measurement device 31 separate from the air conditioner 30. Although not shown, the air conditioner 30 includes a communication module (communication circuit) for wirelessly communicating with the control device 10, and receives a control signal transmitted by the communication unit 11 included in the control device 10. That is, the air-conditioning apparatus 30 can switch the operation mode and change the set temperature based on the control signal received from the control apparatus 10. The air conditioner 30 sends the temperature information and humidity information output from the temperature and humidity measuring device 31 to the communication unit 11 provided in the control device 10. The switch unit 17 controls ON and OFF of the power supply from the power system 70 to the air-conditioning apparatus 30. [Ventilation device] The ventilation device 40, the ventilation device 40a, and the ventilation device 40b are installed in each of a plurality of rooms in the facility 101. The ventilation device 40 is provided in the room 102, the ventilation device 40a is provided in the room 102a, and the ventilation device 40b is provided in the room 102b. Hereinafter, a detailed configuration of the ventilation device 40 will be described. Since the ventilation device 40a and the ventilation device 40b have the same configuration as the ventilation device 40, detailed description is omitted. The ventilation device 40 is an example of a machine installed in the facility 101, and is installed in the room 102, and ventilates between the room 102 (indoor) and the outside of the facility 101 (outside). The ventilation device 40 is a so-called ventilation fan, and the air in the room 102 is exhausted to the outside of the facility 101 by the rotation of the fan. Basically, the ventilation device 40 cannot collect (inhale) the air outside the facility 101 into the room 102. In addition, the ventilation device 40 can change the exhaust volume (air volume). In addition, unlike the air conditioning apparatus 30, the ventilation apparatus 40 does not have a temperature adjustment function for exhausting air outside the facility 101. That is, the ventilation device 40 has a ventilation function, but does not have a cooling function and a heating function. Although not shown, the ventilation device 40 includes a communication module (communication circuit) for wirelessly communicating with the control device 10, and receives a control signal transmitted by the communication unit 11 included in the control device 10. That is, the ventilation device 40 can change the air volume based on the control signal received from the control device 10. The switch unit 17 controls ON and OFF of the power supply from the power system 70 to the ventilation device 40. [High-level control device] The high-level control device 50 is an example of a control instruction device, which is a combination of controlling instructions sent to a plurality of control devices (control device 10, control device 10a, and control device 10b) for controlling equipment installed in facility 101. Controller. The higher-level control device 50 is provided, for example, for one facility 101, and sends control instructions to a plurality of control devices in the facility 101. The host controller 50 is installed in the room 102, but the host controller 50 may be installed in other rooms. The higher-level control device 50 may be installed outside the facility 101. Specifically, the high-level control device 50 is separate from the plurality of control devices, and is installed in the home gateway of the facility 101, but may also be a HEMS (Home Energy Management System) controller. The higher-level control device 50 may also be a server device (cloud server) provided outside the facility 101. The host control device 50 may also be implemented by two devices, a home gateway and a server device. That is, the functions of the host control device 50 can also be shared by the home gateway and the server device. In addition, one of the plurality of control devices in the facility 101 may be used as the high-level control device 50. The higher-level control device 50 may send a control instruction together with a plurality of control devices, for example. Thereby, the control target device of the control device 10, the control target device of the control device 10a, and the control target device of the control device 10b can be controlled together. In addition, the higher-level control device 50 may individually send control instructions to the plurality of control devices. Specifically, the high-level control device 50 includes a communication section 51, a control section 52, a memory section 53, and a power supply section 54. In addition, since the high-level control device 50 does not have a user interface, the information terminal 60 is used as a user interface, for example. As the user interface of the higher-level control device 50, the control device 10, the control device 10a, or the control device 10b may also be used. The host control device 50 may not have a user interface. In this case, the information terminal 60 may be omitted. The communication unit 51 performs wireless communication with the control device 10, the control device 10a, the control device 10b, and the information terminal 60. Specifically, the communication unit 51 is a communication module (communication circuit) for wireless communication. The communication unit 51 sends control instructions individually or collectively to a plurality of control devices, for example. The communication unit 51 receives a user instruction from a communication unit 61 provided in the information terminal 60. The user instruction is input by the user to the touch panel 63 of the information terminal 60. The control unit 52 generates a control instruction based on the user instruction received by the communication unit 51, and causes the communication unit 51 to send the generated control instruction. Specifically, the control unit 52 is realized by a processor, a microcomputer, or a dedicated circuit. The memory unit 53 is a memory device such as a control program executed by the memory control unit 52. Specifically, the memory unit 53 is realized by a semiconductor memory or the like. The power supply unit 54 converts AC power supplied from the power system 70 into DC power suitable for the operation of the high-level control device 50 and supplies the DC power to each constituent element included in the high-level control device 50. Specifically, the power supply unit 54 is a power supply circuit including an AC / DC converter, a DC / DC converter, or the like. The power supply unit 54 can also be implemented as an AC adapter. [Information Terminal] The information terminal 60 is used as a user interface of the host control device 50. Specifically, the information terminal 60 is, for example, a smart phone or a tablet terminal, but may be a personal computer or the like. The information terminal 60 includes a communication section 61, a control section 62, a touch panel 63, and a display section 64. The display section 64 displays an image used by the user for input on the touch panel 63 based on the control of the control section 62. Specifically, the display portion 64 is realized by a liquid crystal panel, an organic EL panel, or the like. The touch panel 63 receives input from a user. The touch panel 63 may be a touch panel of an electrostatic capacitance method, or a touch panel of other methods such as a resistive film method. When the information terminal 60 is a personal computer, the information terminal 60 includes a keyboard, a mouse, and the like instead of the touch panel. The control unit 62 performs control to cause the display unit 64 to display an image. In addition, the control unit 62 generates a user instruction based on the input received by the touch panel 63, and causes the communication unit 61 to transmit the generated user instruction. Specifically, the control unit 62 is implemented by a processor, a microcomputer, or a dedicated circuit. The communication unit 61 sends a user instruction to the communication unit 51 included in the higher-level control device 50. Specifically, the communication unit 61 is a communication module (communication circuit) for wireless communication. [Operation Example 1] Next, an operation example 1 of the control device 10 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of an operation example 1 of the control device 10. In the operation example 1, the control device 10 is set as a person who has been paired with the control target device (the lighting device 20, the air-conditioning device 30, and the ventilation device 40) and can wirelessly communicate with the control target device. Although the operation of the control device 10 has been described in the operation example 1, the control device 10 a and the control device 10 b may perform the same operation as the control device 10. In the operation example 1, the host controller 50 is not added to the machine control system 100 at first. At this time, the control device 10 performs an operation in the first mode (S11). In the operation of the first mode, the control section 12 of the control device 10 controls the device by causing the communication section 11 to transmit a control signal regardless of the control instruction sent from the higher-level control device 50. Specifically, the control unit 12 causes the communication unit 11 to send a control signal based on the operation on the touch panel 15. The user can control the air-conditioning apparatus 30 by, for example, an image shown in FIG. 4 displayed on the display unit 16. In the operation in the first mode, the control unit 12 controls the switch unit 17 based on the operation to the touch panel 15 to turn on and off the power supply to the device. The user can, for example, turn on and off the main power source of the machine through the image shown in FIG. 3 displayed on the display section 16. Next, the control unit 12 performs detection of the upper control device 50 capable of communicating with the communication unit 11 (S12). In other words, the control unit 12 detects whether or not the higher-level control device 50 is incorporated into a machine control system (wireless communication network) (whether the communication portion 11 can communicate with the higher-level control device 50). For example, the control unit 12 causes the communication unit 11 to send a request for pairing processing, and when there is a response to the sent request, it performs pairing processing with the device that responds. Here, when the responding device is the high-level control device 50, the control unit 12 determines that the high-level control device 50 is detected by the end of the pairing process. In addition, whether the responding device is the higher-level control device 50 is determined by, for example, whether the ID sent from the responding device in the pairing process is a specific ID. However, in the pairing process or other processes, the device that responds to the notification from the control device 10 itself is the higher-level control device 50, and the method of determining whether the responding device is the higher-level control device 50 is not particularly limited. In addition, the request for the pairing process may be sent periodically, or may be sent based on the operation of the user to the touch panel 15. In addition, the request for the pairing process may be sent by the higher-level control device 50 instead of the control device 10. Before the control unit 12 detects the higher-level control device 50 (No in S12), the control unit 12 continues the operation in the first mode (S11). On the other hand, when the control unit 12 detects the situation of the higher-level control device 50 during the operation in the first mode, it switches the operation in the first mode to the operation in the second mode (S13). In the operation in the second mode, the control unit 12 controls the device by causing the communication unit 11 to send a control signal based on the control instruction received by the communication unit 11. In other words, the control section 12 causes the communication section 11 to transmit a control signal having the same control content as the control content instructed by the control instruction. In the operation in the second mode, the control authority is given to the host control device 50, and the control device 10 functions as a repeater of the control instruction. According to the operation in the second mode, the user can control the lighting device 20, the air-conditioning device 30, and the ventilation device 40 by operating the information terminal 60. In addition, according to the operation in the second mode, the user can control the control target device of the control device 10, the control target device of the control device 10a, and the control target device of the control device 10b by operating the information terminal 60 at the same time. Specifically, by operating the information terminal 60, the user can turn off the power of the control target devices in the facility 101 without entering each room. In addition, according to the operation in the second mode, the user can easily coordinate (interlock) the higher-level control device 50 and the plurality of control devices. In the operation in the second mode, icons (keys) for controlling all the devices in the facility 101 may be displayed on each display section 16 of the control device 10, the control device 10a, and the control device 10b. In this case, for example, if the control device 10 is operated to control the control target device of the control device 10a, the control device 10 notifies the higher-level control device 50, and the higher-level control device 50 sends a control instruction to the control device 10a based on the notification. . The control device 10a transmits a control signal to the control target device based on the control instruction. Thereby, the user can control the control target device of the control device 10a by operating the control device 10. In addition, the icons used to control all the devices in the facility 101 may be displayed only on the display portion 16 of the specific control device among the control device 10, the control device 10a, and the control device 10b. For example, the icons used to disconnect all the machines in the facility 101 when the user goes out need not be displayed on the display portion 16 of all control devices in the facility 101. The icons for disconnecting all the machines in the facility 101 are preferably displayed on the display unit 16 of the control device arranged at the entrance or the closest place to the entrance, for example. In this way, in the operation of the second mode, the operation is the same as that of the first mode, and the user can also control the device by wireless communication by operating the touch panel 15 of the control device 10. However, in the operation in the second mode, the operation on the touch panel 15 may be disabled. That is, in the operation in the second mode, the control unit 12 may prohibit the communication unit 11 from transmitting a control signal regardless of the control instruction, and may operate only as a repeater of the control instruction. In other words, the control unit 12 may not send the control signal autonomously during the operation in the second mode. With this, the devices with control authority are unified. If there are a plurality of devices with control authority, there may be cases where the priority of control needs to be set. In addition, by operating one control device by one user, it is also possible for a situation such as inadvertent control by other users operating other control devices to occur. If a device with control authority is unified, this kind of situation can be suppressed. The operation in the second mode is the same as the operation in the first mode. Based on the operation of the touch panel 15 by the user, the control unit 12 controls the switch unit 17. However, in the operation in the second mode, the control unit 12 may disable the control of the switch unit 17 based on the operation on the touch panel 15. Specifically, in the operation in the second mode, the switch unit 17 may be fixed by the control unit 12 to maintain a state where power is supplied to the device (a state where the power supply is turned on). Accordingly, by turning off the main power of the control target device, it is possible to suppress the situation where the control target device cannot be controlled by the higher-level control device 50. The operation example 1 of the control device 10 has been described above. As shown in Operation Example 1, the control device 10 is expandable. If the higher-level control device 50 is added to the machine control system 100, it can operate based on the control instruction sent by the higher-level control device 50. In addition, during the operation in the second mode, if the control device 10 detects that the higher-level control device 50 is detached from the machine control system 100 (wireless communication network), the operation in the second mode is switched to the operation in the first mode. [Operation Example 2] The control device 10 may control the equipment based on the environmental information associated with the facility 101. Hereinafter, operation example 2 of the control device 10 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart of an operation example 2 of the control device 10. In the second operation example, the operation of the control device 10 is described. However, the control device 10 a and the control device 10 b may perform the same operation as the control device 10. First, the communication unit 11 receives temperature information in the room 102 as environmental information (S21). Specifically, the communication unit 11 receives temperature information from the temperature and humidity measuring device 31 included in the air conditioner 30. Next, the control unit 12 controls the air conditioner 30 by sending a control signal to the communication unit 11 based on the temperature information received by the communication unit 11 (S22). Specifically, the control unit 12 causes the communication unit 11 to transmit a control signal for bringing the temperature indicated by the received temperature information closer to the set temperature. In this way, the control device 10 can control a device (for example, the air-conditioning device 30) installed in the facility 101 based on the environmental information. The communication unit 11 may also receive a plurality of types of environmental information. For example, the communication unit 11 may receive two or more of temperature information, humidity information, and outside temperature information. In this case, the control unit 12 causes the communication unit 11 to send a control signal based on the plurality of types of environmental information received. The equipment to be controlled in step S22 is not limited to the air conditioner 30. In step S22, the lighting device 20 or the ventilation device 40 may also be controlled. In step S22, a plurality of machines can also be controlled. In the operation in the second mode, the higher-level control device 50 may control the equipment based on the environmental information associated with the facility 101. In this case, the communication unit 11 of the control device 10 receives the environmental information and sends the received environmental information to the higher-level control device. The higher-level control device 50 sends a control instruction based on the received environmental information. [Effects, etc.] As described above, the control device 10 includes the communication unit 11 that communicates with equipment installed in the facility 101 and communicates with the higher-level control device 50 that can send control instructions to the control device 10; and the control unit 12, which causes the communication unit 11 to transmit a control signal irrespective of the control instruction to perform the operation of the first mode of controlling the device. The control unit 12 switches the operation of the first mode to the operation of the second mode when detecting that the upper control device can communicate with the communication unit 11, and based on the control instruction received by the communication unit 11 during the operation of the second mode The communication unit 11 transmits a control signal to control the device. The communication unit 11 is an example of a first communication unit and a second communication unit, and the host control device 50 is an example of a control instruction device. Thus, if the higher-level control device 50 is added to the machine control system 100, the control device 10 can operate based on the control instruction sent by the higher-level control device 50. That is, the expandable control device 10 is realized. The communication unit 11 may further receive environmental information related to the facility 101 from the environmental measurement device. The control unit 12 may further control the device by sending a control signal to the communication unit 11 based on the environmental information received by the communication unit 11. The communication unit 11 is an example of the third communication unit. Thereby, the control device 10 can control the equipment installed in the facility 101 based on environmental information. The control device 10 may be installed on a wall surface of the facility 101. The control device 10 may further include: a touch panel 15 operated by a user; a display portion 16 arranged opposite to the touch panel 15 to display an image; and a switch portion 17 based on the direction of the touch panel 15. Operate, switch on and off the power supply to the machine. With this, the control device 10 can also operate as a so-called wall switch. In addition, during the operation of the control unit 12 in the second mode, the communication unit 11 may be prohibited from transmitting a control signal regardless of the control instruction. Thereby, the devices having the control authority are unified, and the occurrence of the state of affairs caused by the plurality of devices having the control authority is suppressed. The higher-level control device 50 may also send a control instruction to a plurality of control devices including the control device 10. Thereby, the higher-level control device 50 can perform a control instruction together with a plurality of control devices. In addition, the communication unit 11 may perform wireless communication with the device and wireless communication with the host control device 50. Thereby, the control device 10 can send a control signal to the device through wireless communication. In addition, the control device 10 may receive a control instruction from the upper-level control device 50 through wireless communication. In addition, the control method of the equipment installed in the facility 101 executed by the control device 10 performs the operation of the first mode of controlling the equipment by transmitting a control signal regardless of the control instruction. The above control method switches the operation of the first mode to the operation of the second mode when detecting that the upper control device 50 can communicate with the control device 10. In the operation of the second mode, the control instruction based on the reception is used. Send control signals to control the machine. The host controller 50 is an example of a control instruction device. Thus, if the higher-level control device 50 is added to the machine control system 100, the control device 10 can operate based on the control instruction sent by the higher-level control device 50. That is, the expandable control device 10 is realized. (Other Embodiments) Although the embodiments have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, the configuration of the control device described in the above embodiment is an example. For example, the control device may be a controller that does not include a component (a switch unit, etc.) for functioning as a wall switch. The control device may be installed outside the facility. Further, the machine control system described in the above embodiment may further include a server device or the like that uses a high-level control device as a control target. In this case, the server device is a higher-level device than the higher-level control device.
