  • Telemetry modules can be particularly useful in everyday life. For example, it can be important to find out immediately when on vacation or traveling when electrical devices in your home fail or the alarm system goes off. Likewise, a traveler may wish to remotely activate electrical devices in his home, for example to find a warm home, a preheated sauna or fresh coffee when he returns.

Basically, it can communicate with any other subscriber in the communication network, for example mobile stations or internet subscribers (via an internet bridge).

For example, for a change in potential of the signal input from a high level to a low level, the message "device defective" can be stored. For a potential change in the opposite direction, however, the message identifier "device is working" can be stored. Each time one of these potential changes occurs, the telemetry module then sends the corresponding message identifier to the recipient intended to receive the message.

For example, for a change in potential of the control output from a low level to a high level, the associated control identifier can be "switch on device", while for the reverse potential change, the associated control identifier can be "switch off device”.
  • the control unit compares the content of the received message with the stored control identifiers. Provides the If the control unit determines that the received message contains a control command which corresponds to one of the stored control identifiers, it initiates the corresponding change in status of the electrical status of the control output.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un module de télémétrie (1) qui est conçu sous forme de terminal capable de communication bidirectionnelle, pour un réseau de communication (3). Ce module comprend au moins une entrée de signal électrique (25, 27), qui permet la connexion à un composant émetteur de signal, ainsi qu'au moins une sortie de commande électrique (23), qui permet la connexion à un composant devant être commandé. Ce module comprend également un dispositif mémoire (19), qui peut être programmé de préférence par un utilisateur du module de télémétrie (1) et dans lequel un identificateur de message, en relation avec une modification d'état prédéfinie respective de l'état électrique de l'entrée de signal (25, 27), et un identificateur de commande, en relation avec une modification d'état prédéfinie respective de l'état électrique de la sortie de commande (23), peuvent être enregistrés. Ce module comprend également une unité de commande électronique (11), connectée à l'entrée de signal (25, 27) et à la sortie de commande (23), qui est conçue pour induire l'expédition d'un message contenant l'identificateur de message respectivement associé, notamment sous forme d'un message court SMS, sur le réseau de communication (3), à un destinataire prédéfini (5, 7), en fonction d'une modification d'état de l'état électrique de l'entrée de signal (25, 27), et qui est en outre conçue, lors de la réception d'un message, notamment d'un message court SMS, sur le réseau de communication (3), pour comparer ce message à chaque identificateur de commande enregistré et, en cas de correspondance, pour effectuer la modification d'état, associée à chaque identificateur de commande correspondant, de l'état électrique de la sortie de commande (23). Les identificateurs de message et de commande sont de préférence enregistrés sur une carte d'identification de l'abonné (carte SIM).
