- radio switches After manual operation by a user and / or after mechanical operation by technical equipment, radio switches send commands by radio over specified distances (typically less than 200 meters range in buildings and less than 20 km range outside buildings) to one or more actuators, devices or systems .
- Such radio switches include in particular radio switches and other remote controls that are stimulated to transmit radio signals by manual actuation. Such radio switches are z. B. shown in the publication WO 2004/034560 A2.

A dealer, installer or end user is usually not able to do this.
- radio switches One problem of such radio switches is that a range of functions or various work or operating parameters have previously been fixed or only to a very limited extent, e.g. B. can be changed by coding devices on the radio switches themselves, or by means of complex processes. Up to now, maintenance of such radio switches has only been possible to a very limited extent, if at all.
- this object is achieved by a radio switch explained below.
- Such a radio switch has a first wireless interface for sending out switching commands. Furthermore, the radio switch has a second wireless interface that is set up separately from the first wireless interface. The second wireless interface is set up for the wireless transmission of information from an external device to the radio switch and / or from the radio switch to the external device.
- Such a radio switch enables simple configuration, maintenance or diagnosis of the functionality of the radio switch or of a system with such a radio switch and actuators, devices or subsystems controlled by it by means of an external device that is connected to the second wireless interface of the radio switch can be coupled.

A configuration or maintenance can easily be carried out with such radio switches despite very limited energy reserves, because the energy required for this is made available via the second wireless interface.
- operating the wireless switch means, for example, that the wireless switch is set up to be operated in an active operating state using energy that is transmitted from the external device to the wireless switch.
- the second wireless interface is set up as a bidirectional data interface for the wireless exchange of information between the radio switch and the external device.

In this way, z. B. maintenance data or a history of the reliability of the radio switch can be collected.
- the bidirectional interface enables such data to be read out. Furthermore, in this way, the reliability or quality of the radio switch during operation (for example a link quality of a radio connection between the radio switch and one or more actuators) can be exchanged and queried bidirectionally.
- the second wireless interface is set up as follows: as an inductive interface, in particular for near-field communication (range typically a few centimeters to a few meters) and / or as a radio interface and / or as an optical interface and / or as a capacitive interface and / or as an acoustic interface.
- the second wireless interface is an inductive interface based on what is known as the “near field Communication "or" NFC "standard set up. This enables good and reliable compatibility with external devices that also have a corresponding NFC interface.

- the radio switch can be installed in locations without direct access to a wired infrastructure and advantageously draws the energy required for operation from the immediate vicinity.
- This has the advantage of a maintenance-free operation (from the point of view of the energy supply) without changing or charging batteries.
- the wireless switch can be configured or maintained via the second wireless interface in such a way that a functional scope of the wireless switch and / or operating parameters of the wireless switch are influenced by one or more of the following measures: activation, deactivation, reading, changing.
- Some or all of the functions and / or operating parameters of the radio switch can be activated / stored in the radio switch. These can be selected and / or activated via the external device by means of communication via the second wireless interface. Alternatively, new functions and / or operating parameters that are not yet stored there are loaded / programmed into the radio switch, likewise via the external device by means of communication via the second wireless interface.

- the online service specifies a certain scope for configuring or maintaining the wireless switch, the scope for configuring or maintaining the wireless switch in the external device being authorized via the release obtained.
- the external device first sends a request for configuration or maintenance of the wireless switch to the online service. This checks the request or a related scope of a configuration or maintenance or whether the external device has the appropriate rights.
- the online service uses a user account to check whether certain configurations or settings of the wireless switch have been activated in advance or have been acquired by a user of the external device. In this case, the online service authorizes the request or a related scope of configuration or maintenance, which can then be carried out via the external device on the radio switch. If these mechanisms fail, configuration or maintenance of the wireless switch via the external device will be denied by the online service.

- a last step S9 after successful communication between the radio switch 1 and an associated actuator 22, 23 or 24, this pairing is permanently stored, preferably in the relevant actuators 22, 23 or 24, optionally also in the radio switch 1 and / or in the external device 12 and / or in the online service 21. An assignment is thus fixed and, optionally, the quality of the radio connection has also been checked.
- the advantage of these measures is that in order to assign and check a pairing between the radio switch 1 and one or more of the actuators 22, 23 or 24, the device 12 does not have access to a radio network or a radio connection between the radio switch 1 and the actuators 22, 23 .24 is necessary. Rather, information is exchanged about this between the radio switch 1 and the device 12 via the wireless communication link between these components of the system. In this way, the system can be configured or maintained without a user of the device 12 having to be granted access to the radio network or a radio connection between the radio switch 1 and the actuators 22, 23, 24. This increases security.
- a step S1 the device 12 is brought into the vicinity of the radio switch 1.
- the wireless interface (interface 14 according to FIG. 1) of the device 12 supplies the radio switch 1 with electrical energy.
- a step S3 a communication link between the wireless interface of the device 12 and the wireless interface (interface 3 according to Figure 1) of the wireless switch 1 initiated.
- a radio telegram is sent from the radio switch 1 to one or more of the actuators 22, 23, 24, initialized by the device 12.
- a reaction of the one or more actuators 22, 23, 24 is checked.
- the radio switch 1 is switched to receive mode and the acknowledge signals of the one or more actuators 22, 23, 24 are evaluated.
- a history of the radio connection between the radio switch 1 and the one is read out or the several actuators 22,
- step S8 troubleshooting measures are initiated and carried out, e.g. B. by a software update or a new configuration of the wireless switch 1 by the device 12 according to the measures explained above.
- step S9 the device 12 recommends other repair measures, e.g. B. a hardware replacement of the wireless switch 1.
- non-volatile memory 11 microcontroller, central processing unit 12 external device
