This differs from the two embodiments presented above in that the transmission module ME itself contains the logic analyzer 2, which measures the number and the frequency of changes of state detected by the detector. changes of state 4 but also the electrical state (low state SEB or high SEH) of the voltage at the socket D.
- the state change detector 4 provides, in addition to the change pulses SCE status signal, an additional signal called the SEH high status signal "produced as soon as a voltage (high level) is detected at the socket D. It should be noted that this SEH signal" can also be supplied by the power supply device (not shown) of the ME transmission module or by analysis of the state change pulses.
- the activation / deactivation module MAD1 is considered to be a remote module from the remote control module MCD. However, it will be understood that this might not be the case. It would then be incorporated into the MCD module like Figs. 4a to 4c.
- An operating variant of this alternative embodiment may be the following.
- the system switches to advanced mode called first type.
- the transmission means 15 receive an advanced mode signal SMA supplied by the logic analyzer 2 and emit a first calibrated signal Cl.
- SMA advanced mode signal supplied by the logic analyzer 2
- a first calibrated signal Cl first calibrated signal
- successive energizations of the socket D alternately cause the continuous emission of two continuous control signals, noted for example CC + and CC " .
- the renewal of the multiple press specific to the advanced mode causes, in turn, the emission of a second control signal calibrated C2 also intended for the remote control means MCD.
- control signals C1, C2, CC and CC " received by the reception means 16 are then transmitted in the form of control orders SCI, SC2, SCC + and SCC " .
- Signals from command SCI and SC2 are calibrated pulses which are respectively intended for activation / deactivation modules MAD1 and MAD2 to control for example the activation and deactivation of electrical devices A1 and A2, while the control signals SCC + and SCC " are transmitted continuously as long as the socket D is energized and can, for example, allow the operating parameters Al or A2 currently activated to be adjusted.
- This control system comprises a local control module MCL and at least one remote control module MCD.
- the local control module MCL is connected in series between a connection element 5 (for example a socket D) controlled by a switch I and an electrical appliance A, such as an electric lamp A, controlled by an activation module / MADO deactivation.
- the MCL module comprises a generator 1 of status signals SEH7SEB ', a detector of changes of state 4 delivering SCE signals, a logic analyzer 2 and means 17 transmission of SCAD activation / deactivation signals or SCP configuration signals.
- the remote control module MCD comprises means 18 for receiving the activation / deactivation signals SCAD or configuration signals SCP received from the transmission means 17 of the local control module MCL. It also includes an activation / deactivation module MADl connected in series between a PI socket and an electrical appliance, such as an electric lamp L1. This module MAD1 receives control signals from the reception means 18.
- a local control module MCL and of a remote control module MCD operate in three distinct modes: a basic mode 60, a temporary advanced mode 61 and a permanent advanced mode 62 which is a mode selectable by the user, for example by means of a MAP switch (connected to the analyzer logic 2 of the MCL module) provided for this purpose.
- the basic mode 60 is engaged without specific manipulations (supports normally spaced at the level of the standard switch); it corresponds to the functional standby of the system. In this mode, pressing the standard switch allows normal control of the electrical appliance A, that is to say the usual lighting of the room. The activation of the electrical appliance A is advantageously produced at the end of a delay following the closing of the switch I.
- the temporary advanced mode 61 is activated by two very close presses on the standard switch ("ON / OFF "or" OFF / ON ”) (shown diagrammatically at 63). The time between these two pressures must be less than the delay mentioned above relative to the basic mode.
- the local control module MCL then emits an activation / deactivation control signal SCAD or a configuration signal SCP depending on the mode selected.
- This signal SCAD or SCP received by a remote control module allows the device to be controlled L1 to be immediately activated or deactivated or configured according to its initial state.
- the system automatically returns to basic mode 60 if the permanent advanced mode 62 is not selected (branch 64).
- temporary advanced mode 61 As for the distinction between temporary advanced mode 61 and permanent advanced mode 62, it can be selected by the MAP switch located on the local control module MCL (branch 65 of the Organigram).
- the permanent advanced mode makes it possible to permanently fulfill a remote control function of the device L1 by means of the normally spaced pressures on the switch I.
- one of these advanced modes which could then be called global mode, corresponding to the simultaneous control of the ordinary lamp A and of the apparatus to be controlled (the lamp L1) can also be envisaged.
- the MADO activation / deactivation module controls the deactivation of the device A, which prevents its blinking during close presses on the switch.
- the permanent advanced mode 62 is activated at the end of the temporary advanced mode 61.
- a double press on the switch (shown diagrammatically at 66) makes it possible to return to basic mode.
- the device A is stopped as long as the permanent advanced mode 62 is activated.
- Another possible mode of operation of the system which is the subject of this embodiment is substantially identical to that which has just been described, but also provides a configuration function which consists in precisely adjusting by means of simple presses of the switch I a characteristic of the device controlled, for example the intensity level of the lamp L1.
- This function is for example selected by means of an FDP switch (connected to the analyzer 2) that the local control module MCL comprises.
- the setting operation is for example the following.
- a first press on the switch I will control the progressive increase (or decrease) of the parameter of the appliance to be controlled, for example the light intensity of the lamp L1.
- a second press will stop the increase (or decrease) process and set the parameter at the value then reached.
- Another press will allow the control of the progressive decrease (respectively increase) of the parameter. And so on.
- any newly received setup command signal has the effect of gradually decreasing the parameter.
- the basic mode, the temporary advanced mode and the permanent advanced mode operate in the manner described above, but each command is then associated with a possibility of configuration.
- the device controlled if it is out of operation, sees its operating characteristic progressively increased to a maximum level whereas if it is already running, it sees its operating characteristic progressively reduced. For example, if the device is an L1 lamp, when it is off, in this operating mode, it is gradually lit up to its maximum intensity level and when it is already lit, it is gradually turned off until 'to extinction.
- a position of the switch I stabilizes the light intensity level (for a lamp) while the other alternately causes a positive and negative variation in its lighting.
- control system of this embodiment may also include a wired control module MCF which is associated with the or each remote control module MCD.
- the remote control module MCD comprises a continuity test means 51 intended to transmit a signal TE to a warning means 52 that includes the wired control module MCF.
- the MADl activation / deactivation module can recognize the state of continuity of the circuit made up of the lamp L1. If the switch with which the LL lamp to be controlled is fitted is open, if the bulb is burnt out, or if there is a connection problem that could prevent this LL lamp from operating normally, a non-continuity state is detected by the means 51 which then transmits a TE signal which, received by the warning means 52, warns the user of the problem encountered.
- the warning means 52 consist for example of a flashing indicator.
- the wired control module MCF can also include a fugitive switch 53 connected to the activation / deactivation module MADl.
- the short presses on the fugitive switch 53 of the wired control module MCF allow the emission of short duration pulses which are transmitted to the activation / deactivation module MADl, thus causing the activation or deactivation of the device L1 , while long presses on the same switch 53 allow the emission of long pulses, and thus precisely regulate the level of a characteristic of operation (a desired light intensity) of the control device, for example an L1 lamp.
- the control system is specially designed to operate with several MCD remote control modules. To do this, it comprises a transmitter 54 designed to transmit, on the one hand, a confirmation signal SCO and, on the other hand, an inhibition signal SIN.
- the SCO confirmation signal and the inhibition signal have the same frequency and coding characteristics as the SCAD and SCP signals. While the confirmation signal SCO has a duration strictly less than the duration of these control signals SCAD and SCP, the inhibition signal SIN on the contrary has a duration strictly greater than the duration of these control signals SCAD and SCP.
- the operation is as follows.
- a remote control module MCD When a remote control module MCD receives an activation / deactivation control signal SCAD when the electrical appliance (for example a lamp Ll) associated with it is deactivated, it must activate it immediately after a delay strictly greater than the duration of this SCAD signal.
- SCAD activation / deactivation control signal
- a remote control module MCD receives only an SCP setting signal when the electrical device associated with it is deactivated, it must activate it progressively after a period strictly greater than the duration of this SCP signal.

It further comprises means 17 for transmitting the SMA and SMB analysis signals delivered by the logic analyzer 2 as a function of the electrical characteristics which it has measured and analyzed.
- the pressures normally spaced on the switch I cause the delivery, by the logic analyzer 2, of a particular signal called the basic mode signal SMB.
- Another particular signal called the advanced mode signal SMA is emitted when two very close presses on the switch I are detected by the logic analyzer 2.

- two very close presses over time on the switch II or on the switch 12 make it possible to selectively and respectively control the shutter VR1 and the shutter VR2 according to the process described above.
- four very close presses on one or the other of the switches II, 12 allow the simultaneous control of the two shutters VR1, VR2.
- the remote control module MCD comprising reception means 11 capable of receiving simultaneously or separately the two high status signals SEH'A and SEH'B and of transforming them into a status signal top single SEH'U for the state change detector 4.
- a change of state of the electrical connection element (the socket D) associated with the re-emission module MR is therefore detected by the passage of a signal d 'high state SEH'U to a low state signal SEB' (not shown).
- the reception means 11 are associated with analysis means 3b included in the control means 3 and intended to activate a first predetermined advanced mode if the two separate status signals SEH'A and SEH 'B. are received simultaneously.
- the analysis means 3b are themselves associated with the outputs 31 in order to activate or deactivate the output corresponding to the first advanced mode. This first advanced mode allows the individual control of each electric shutter VR1, VR2 from each switch II, 12.
- a second advanced mode is always activated after a particular multiple press, thus making it possible to control all the shutters VR1 and VR2 at the same time.
- the means 3a for selecting and issuing control orders fulfill the same functions as those described for the previous embodiment.
- Fig. ld presents a simplified diagram of another possible embodiment of the remote control module MCD.
- the remote control module MCD contains detection means 4a, 4b for detecting changes of state respectively at separate receivers l ia and 11b included in the means 11 for receiving re-emitted status signals SEB ', SEH'A, SEH'B (not shown).
- the data supplied by the state change detection detector 4a allow the activation of the first advanced mode while that supplied by the detector 4b contributes to the activation of the second advanced mode.
- the control means 3 may contain, in addition to the means 3a for selecting and issuing control orders, two separate devices for counting detected changes in state (not shown).
- the number of presses for switching to advanced mode, the number of status signals retransmitted, the number of advanced modes as well as the number of electric shutters controlled are given as indicative and nonlimiting examples.
- FIG. 12 another embodiment of a control system according to the present invention applied to the control of a roller shutter which differs from that shown in FIG. 10a in that the remote control module MCD generates two distinct signals SA4 and SD4.
- a particular multiple press allows you to switch to advanced mode (for example two very close presses on switch I). Then, a new pressure will cause the emission of said control signal SA4 which activates for example, the descent of the electric roller shutter VR. The following pressure allows the emission of said control signal SD4 which activates, for example, the raising of the shutter VR.
- Motorization MVE comprising means 45 for receiving the control signals produced by the remote control module MCD and means 46 for activating / deactivating the electric shutter as a function of the signals (S A4, SD4) received by the control module remote MCD.
- Such a method of using the control system according to the present invention can also be applied for controlling the variation of light intensity and more generally for any adjustment of the operating parameters of an electrical appliance.
- the various signals which are emitted, in all of the embodiments which have been previously described, whether by radio, by carrier currents or by any other means from one module to another module, can be the subject encryption by any appropriate encryption means. This avoids interference between various devices operating within the same perimeter.
- the signals are transmitted on encryption parameters defined by factory default but which can be modified by any appropriate means, such as a cursor placed, for example, on a local control module MCL, a transmission module ME or a MR retransmission module.
- the remote control modules they automatically record and memorize these encryption parameters on the first signal received. This memorization is effective until a possible initialization operation after which it will be necessary to redefine new encryption parameters.
