Problems solved by technology

These programs are still complex
[0015] Despite the advances made in prior art devices, even for a user who is familiar with computer technology, it is still difficult for the user to simply, intuitively and above all gradually master a device that is extremely rich in possibilities for the automation of home devices. not very easy
[0016] A user of a prior art device has the option to name the device as he wishes, but he cannot simply and understandably name the rooms or sub-units of the home without a minimum of abstraction or prioritization efforts. Sets are assigned perfectly recognizable names at first glance, and only when required to do so

Embodiment Construction

[0044] figure 1 Represents a home automation installation 1 comprising multiple equipment items of five different types.

[0045] The item of equipment includes an actuator acting on the home automation product to displace it or activate it, and a home automation product. Said actuator comprises means for receiving commands through a Hertzian channel represented by an antenna. Alternatively, the commands are sent through other communication means such as power line communication or an infrared type link.

[0046] A first equipment item 1 a of a first type TYP1 is eg an actuator 11 driving a terrace awning 12 . They can be controlled by the first specific control means 10 .

[0047] The second equipment items 2a, 2b, 2c of the second type TYP2 are eg actuators for roller shutters 21, 23 and 25 driving shutters 22, 24 and 26 respectively. They can be controlled by the keys 20a, 20b and 20c of the second specific control device 20, respectively.

[0048] The third equipment ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a training method for a device for controlling home automation apparatuses in a building, said method including: a display screen on which each home automation apparatus is represented by any apparatus icon or, failing that, by an apparatus-type icon combined with an apparatus name, an information reception means, characterized in that an action at a control means specific to a home automation apparatus results, at the control device, in the initiation of a step for the automatic search for and selection of the apparatus or apparatus-type icon representing said home automation apparatus.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for controlling home automation equipment in a building. Background technique [0002] The item of home automation equipment communicates with the control device via a wireless link, eg provided by radio frequency. Such equipment items include actuators for lighting, heating and air conditioning, natural or forced ventilation, intruder alarms, and even actuators for closing or shading, manipulating moving panels or projection screens, and related driven products. [0003] A number of problems are associated with the control of such items of equipment that are often at least partially inaccessible and / or visible from user-accessible controls. [0004] In particular, the number of equipment items often forces grouping by equipment type (barrier actuators, lighting actuators, locking actuators), to execute simultaneous commands, or to send information to only one type of equipment. However, depending on location, other ...
