TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a motorized drive device for operating a barrier closing an opening made in a building, enclosure or fence, and, in particular, a barrier such as a gate, door, grille, shutter or any other equivalent equipment.

[0002] It also relates to a home automation closing system including such a motorized drive device, a barrier and an associated peripheral device. PREVIOUS STATE OF THE ART

[0003] We already know of home automation systems for closing that include a motorized drive device, a barrier and a peripheral device.

[0004] In the present invention, the term peripheral device means, in particular, a signaling device, such as for example a flashing light and / or an alarm, or an obstacle detection device.

[0005] The motorized drive device includes an electromechanical actuator and an electronic control unit.

[0006] The electronic control unit of the motorized drive device includes a power outlet for supplying electrical power to a peripheral device. The peripheral device is not electrically self-sufficient.

[0007] The peripheral device is electrically connected to the power supply socket of the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device.

[0008] However, these home automation closing systems have the disadvantage of controlling the peripheral device by wired communication and, more specifically, by an electrical signal delivered by the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device through the electrical power outlet and the electrical connection between the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device and the peripheral device.

[0009] Therefore, these home automation closure systems require wiring between the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device and the peripheral device controlled by wired communication, which may be visible or hidden following work on the home automation closure system, and in particular work involving excavation, cable routing and covering.

[0010] We also know of document WO 2010 / 095161 A1 which describes a home automation closing installation comprising a motorized drive device, a barrier and a peripheral device.

[0011] The motorized drive device includes an electromechanical actuator, an electronic control unit, a wireless transmitter functionally connected to the electronic control unit, the wireless transmitter cooperating with a signaling device by wireless communication.

[0012] The wireless transmitter, being integrated into the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device, controls the signaling device by means of wireless communication.

[0013] The signaling device includes an electronic control unit and a wireless receiver functionally connected to the electronic control unit.

[0014] The wireless receiver functionally connected to the electronic control unit of the signaling device is capable of communicating with the wireless transmitter functionally connected to the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device.

[0015] However, this home automation closing system has the disadvantage of only being suitable for new home automation closing systems where the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device integrates a wireless transmitter, so as to be able to control a peripheral device by wireless communication.

[0016] Therefore, peripheral devices controlled by wireless communication can only be associated with motorized drive devices having an electronic control unit incorporating a wireless transmitter. SUBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0017] The present invention aims to resolve the aforementioned drawbacks and to propose a motorized drive device enabling the compatibility of wired home automation closing systems, in particular those already in place, with new peripheral devices requiring wireless communication for their control.

[0018] In this regard, the present invention aims, according to a first aspect, at a motorized drive device for a home automation closing system comprising an electromechanical actuator, an electronic control unit, a wireless transmitter functionally connected to the electronic control unit, the wireless transmitter being configured to cooperate with a peripheral device by wireless communication.

[0019] According to the invention, the electronic control unit includes a power supply socket.

[0020] The wireless transmitter is electrically connected to the power outlet of the electronic control unit, so as to control the peripheral device by means of wireless communication.

[0021] The wireless transmitter is an external command transmission module for the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device.

[0022] This means, in particular, that the command-issuing module and the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device have separate printed circuit boards, and can be housed in separate enclosures.

[0023] The wireless transmitter further includes means for converting a first signal, the first signal being a power supply signal from the power supply socket of the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device, into a second signal, the second signal being a control signal of the peripheral device.

[0024] Thus, connecting the wireless transmitter to an electrical power outlet of the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device makes it possible to make a wired home automation closing system compatible, including an existing one, with a peripheral device requiring wireless communication for its control.

[0025] In this way, a peripheral device requiring wireless communication can be controlled either from a motorized drive device comprising a wireless transmitter electrically connected to an electrical power outlet of its electronic control unit intended to electrically supply another non-autonomous peripheral device with electrical energy, or from another motorized drive device comprising an electronic control unit incorporating a wireless transmitter.

[0026] In addition, the power supply socket of the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device allows either the peripheral device to be controlled by wireless communication, following the electrical connection of the wireless transmitter to it, or to supply electrical energy to another peripheral device not electrically autonomous by a wired electrical connection, following the electrical connection of electrical cables to it and connecting the other peripheral device.

[0027] Furthermore, connecting the wireless transmitter to a power outlet on the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device avoids the need for wiring, which may be visible or hidden, between the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device and the peripheral device controlled by wireless communication.

[0028] In this way, the electrical connection of the wireless transmitter to a power outlet of the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device makes it possible to avoid carrying out work at the level of the home automation installation of closure, and in particular work involving digging, passing cables and covering.

[0029] Connecting the wireless transmitter to a power outlet on the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device also simplifies and reduces the installation time of the peripheral device which is functionally connected to the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device by wireless communication.

[0030] Advantageously, the wireless transmitter can be electrically connected to the power outlet of the electronic control unit via a wired connection.

[0031] In practice, the wireless transmitter may include at least one connection element detachably connected to the power supply socket of the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device, in practice a connection socket compatible with the power supply socket of the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device.

[0032] According to a preferred feature of the invention, the wireless transmitter of the motorized drive device is configured to transmit the second signal to a wireless receiver of the peripheral device, following the detection of a predetermined operating condition of the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device.

[0033] In a first embodiment of the invention, the first signal emitted by a control element of the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device is a pulsed signal.

[0034] In a second embodiment of the invention, the first signal emitted by a control element of the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device is a continuous signal.

[0035] According to another preferred feature of the invention, the wireless transmitter is configured to transmit the second signal, known as the deactivation signal, to the peripheral device, following the detection of a predetermined operating condition of the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device or following the elapsed of a predetermined period of time from the moment of the transmission of the first signal.

[0036] In practice, the wireless transmitter includes an energy reserve, so that the wireless transmitter is supplied with electrical energy from the energy reserve to emit the second signal to the peripheral device, following the interruption of the first signal emitted by a control element of the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device.

[0037] The present invention relates, according to a second aspect, to a home automation system for closing systems comprising: a motorized drive device according to the invention, a barrier driven in movement by the motorized drive device, a peripheral device, the peripheral device comprising: an electronic control unit, a wireless receiver functionally connected to the electronic control unit, the wireless receiver being capable of communicating with the wireless transmitter functionally connected to the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device.

[0038] This home automation closing system has characteristics and advantages similar to those described previously in relation to the motorized drive device according to the invention.

[0039] According to another preferred feature of the invention, the peripheral device is configured so that the first signal triggers the activation of the peripheral device, following the emission of the second signal by the wireless transmitter to the peripheral device.

[0040] According to another preferred feature of the invention, the peripheral device is configured so that the second signal emitted by the wireless transmitter to the peripheral device, following the detection of a predetermined operating condition of the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device or following the elapsed of a predetermined period of time from the moment of the emission of the first signal, commands the extinction of light and / or sound signals emitted by the peripheral device.

[0041] Preferably, the peripheral device includes a self-contained electrical power supply module.

[0042] The present invention aims, according to a third aspect, at a method of commissioning a home automation closing system according to the invention, comprising a step of electrically connecting the wireless transmitter to the power supply socket of the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device.

[0043] This method of commissioning a home automation closing system has characteristics and advantages similar to those described previously in relation to the motorized drive device according to the invention.

[0044] In one embodiment, the step of electrically connecting the wireless transmitter to the power outlet of the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device is preceded by a step of electrically disconnecting another peripheral device that is not electrically self-sufficient and is electrically connected to the same power outlet of the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device.

[0045] This is particularly the case when it comes to carrying out maintenance or upgrading an existing installation by replacing a non-electrically self-powered peripheral device already connected to the power supply outlet of the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device with a new wirelessly communicating replacement or upgrade peripheral device.

[0046] Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent in the description below. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

DESCRIPTION OF METHODS OF IMPLEMENTING THE INVENTION

[0048] We will first describe, with reference to the figure 1 , a home automation system for closing according to the invention.

[0049] The home automation closing installation 1 includes at least one motorized drive device 2, at least one barrier 3 and at least one peripheral device 4.

[0050] The barrier 3 is installed at an opening 5 made in a building, enclosure, or fence. The barrier 3 allows the opening 5 to be closed off.

[0051] The barrier 3 of the home automation closing installation 1 is a mobile barrier either by horizontal or vertical sliding, or by pivoting, or by rolling.

[0052] Barrier 3 is a movable closing element such as a gate, door, grille, shutter or any other equivalent material.

[0053] The barrier 3 is driven in movement by the motorized drive device 2.

[0054] In the embodiment illustrated in the figure 1 , the barrier 3 of the home automation closing system 1 comprises a single leaf oscillating around a rotation axis X that is theoretically substantially vertical and perpendicular to the plane of the figure 1 The gate leaf 3 is connected to the motorized drive device 2.

[0055] In another embodiment not shown, the barrier 3 of the home automation closing system 1 comprises two leaves oscillating respectively around a theoretically substantially vertical axis of rotation X. Each leaf of the barrier 3 is connected to a motorized drive device 2.

[0056] The motorized drive device 2 sets the barrier 3 in motion between at least a first position and a second position, corresponding to an open position and a closed position.

[0057] The motorized drive device 2 includes an electromechanical actuator 6.

[0058] The electromechanical actuator 6 comprises a first part connected to the barrier 3 and a second part connected to the building, enclosure or fence.

[0059] Here, the rear end of the electromechanical actuator 6 is articulated on a fixed support 7 of the building, enclosure or fence, so as to oscillate around a transverse axis substantially parallel to and close to the axis of rotation X of the barrier 3.

[0060] The barrier 3 of the home automation closing installation 1 is driven by the electromechanical actuator 6 and is mobile between the open position and the closed position.

[0061] The motorized drive device 2 includes an electronic control unit 8.

[0062] The electromechanical actuator 6 is controlled by the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0063] The motorized drive device 2 also includes at least one control interface 9, 10, 11 functionally connected to the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0064] The control interface 9, 10, 11 is connected, by a wired or wireless link, to the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0065] The command interface 9, 10, 11 includes a control keyboard with selection elements and, optionally, display elements.

[0066] By way of example, and not exhaustively, selection elements can be push buttons or touch-sensitive keys, and display elements can be light-emitting diodes, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or TFT (Thin Film Transistor) display. Selection and display elements can also be implemented using a touchscreen.

[0067] The control interface 9, 10, 11 allows a user to control the motorized drive device 2 and, in particular, the electromechanical actuator 6 associated with the barrier 3, by pressing one of the selection elements.

[0068] The command interface 9, 10, 11 can be, for example, a local command unit 9.

[0069] The local control unit 9 can be connected, via wired or wireless link, to a central control unit 10.

[0070] The central control unit 10 controls the local control unit 9, and where applicable other similar local control units distributed throughout the building or enclosure.

[0071] The central control unit 10 can be in communication with a remote weather station outside the building or enclosure, including, in particular, one or more sensors that can be configured to determine, for example, temperature, brightness or wind speed.

[0072] A remote control 11, which may be a type of local control unit, and which is equipped with a control keypad, also allows a user to intervene on the electromechanical actuator 6 and / or the central control unit 10.

[0073] The motorized drive device 2 is preferably configured to execute the opening or closing commands of the barrier 3 of the home automation closing system 1, which can be issued, in particular, by the remote control 11.

[0074] The electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 also includes a command reception module, in particular for radio commands, issued by a command transmitter, such as the remote control 11, intended to control the electromechanical actuator 6 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0075] Of course, the order reception module can also allow the reception of orders transmitted by wired means.

[0076] Here, and as illustrated in the figure 1The electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 is located inside an electrical cabinet 13. Furthermore, the local control unit 9 is connected to the electrical cabinet 13 by a wired link.

[0077] The control means for the electromechanical actuator 6 of the motorized drive device 2 include hardware and / or software. By way of non-limiting example, the hardware may include at least one microcontroller.

[0078] The electromechanical actuator 6 of the motorized drive device 2 includes an electric motor (not shown).

[0079] The electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 is capable of starting the electric motor of the electromechanical actuator 6, and, in particular, enabling the supply of electrical energy to the electric motor.

[0080] Thus, the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 controls, in particular, the electric motor, so as to open or close the barrier 3, as described previously.

[0081] The motorized drive device 2 also includes a wireless transmitter 12. The wireless transmitter 12 is functionally connected to the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2. The wireless transmitter 12 is configured to cooperate with the peripheral device 4 by wireless communication.

[0082] Wireless communication between the wireless transmitter 12 and the peripheral device 4 can be either unidirectional or bidirectional.

[0083] Preferably, the peripheral device 4 is a signaling device, and, more particularly, a flashing light. Such a signaling device includes at least one lamp 14.

[0084] By way of non-limiting examples, said at least one lamp of the signaling device may be of the incandescent, halogen, or light-emitting diode type.

[0085] The signaling device may include, in combination or independently, an alarm 18, in particular an audible one. Such a signaling device includes a loudspeaker.

[0086] Advantageously, the peripheral device 4 is self-sufficient in terms of electrical power supply.

[0087] Thus, peripheral device 4 is controlled by a wireless and energy-autonomous control, or called wireless.

[0088] In practice, the peripheral device 4 includes a self-contained electrical power supply module, such as, for example, a battery.

[0089] Preferably, the battery is rechargeable. The battery can be recharged using a photovoltaic panel or any other energy recovery system, which may include thermal or aerodynamic systems.

[0090] The electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 includes a power supply socket 15.

[0091] The power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 allows, in particular, the supply of electrical energy to another peripheral device (not shown) which is not electrically self-sufficient.

[0092] The other peripheral device that is not electrically self-sufficient can also be a signaling device, and, more specifically, a flashing light. Such a signaling device includes at least one lamp.

[0093] By way of non-limiting examples, said at least one lamp of the signaling device may be of the incandescent, halogen, or light-emitting diode type.

[0094] The signaling device may also include an alarm, particularly an audible one. Such a signaling device includes a loudspeaker.

[0095] The peripheral device 4 cooperating with the wireless transmitter 12 of the motorized drive device 2 is different from the peripheral device powered by the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0096] And the wireless transmitter 12 is electrically connected to this same power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, so as to control the peripheral device 4 by means of wireless communication.

[0097] Here, the wireless transmitter 12 of the motorized drive device 2 is electrically connected to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 in place of the other peripheral device which is not electrically self-sufficient, i.e. in replacement of the other peripheral device.

[0098] Thus, the electrical connection of the wireless transmitter 12 to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 makes it possible to maintain compatibility of a home automation closing installation already installed with the peripheral device 4 requiring wireless communication for its control.

[0099] In this way, the peripheral device 4 requiring wireless communication can be controlled either from another motorized drive device comprising an electronic control unit integrating a wireless transmitter, as described in document WO 2010 / 095161 A1, or from the motorized drive device 2 comprising the wireless transmitter 12 electrically connected to the power supply socket 15 of its electronic control unit 8 intended to electrically supply another peripheral device not electrically self-sufficient.

[0100] In addition, the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 allows either the peripheral device 4, referred to as wireless, to be controlled by wireless communication, following the electrical connection of the wireless transmitter 12 to it, or to supply electrical energy to another peripheral device not electrically autonomous, referred to as wired, by a wired electrical connection, following the electrical connection of electrical cables to it and connecting the other peripheral device.

[0101] Furthermore, the electrical connection of the wireless transmitter 12 to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 avoids the need for wiring, which may be visible or hidden, between the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 and the peripheral device 4 controlled by wireless communication.

[0102] In this way, the electrical connection of the wireless transmitter 12 to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 makes it possible to avoid carrying out work at the level of the home automation closing installation 1, and in particular work involving digging, passing cables and covering.

[0103] The electrical connection of the wireless transmitter 12 to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 also simplifies and reduces the installation time of the peripheral device 4 which is functionally connected to the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 by wireless communication.

[0104] Advantageously, the wireless transmitter 12 is electrically connected to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 via a wired connection.

[0105] In practice, the wireless transmitter 12 of the motorized drive device 2 is an external command transmission module to the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0106] The wireless transmitter 12 and the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 have separate printed circuit boards and are housed in separate enclosures.

[0107] In addition, the wireless transmitter 12 includes at least one plugging element detachably connected to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0108] Here, the wireless transmitter 12 of the motorized drive device 2 is electrically connected to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 by means of two power supply cables, and in particular of short length, which can be for example on the order of 1 to 100 millimeters.

[0109] Alternatively, the wireless transmitter 12 of the motorized drive unit 2 is electrically connected to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive unit 2 by means of two electrical plugs. In such a case, the wireless transmitter 12 can be described as plug-in or pin-type.

[0110] Said at least one connection element of the wireless transmitter 12 may be, for example, an electrical power cable or an electrical plug.

[0111] Here, the 12 wireless transmitter includes two electrical connection elements.

[0112] Advantageously, the wireless transmitter 12 of the motorized drive unit 2 includes a housing. The housing of the wireless transmitter 12 is located inside the electrical cabinet 13 of the motorized drive unit 2.

[0113] The peripheral device 4 includes an electronic control unit 16, a wireless receiver 17 functionally connected to the electronic control unit 16.

[0114] The electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 is different from the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0115] The wireless receiver 17 of the peripheral device 4 is configured to communicate, via a wireless link, with the wireless transmitter 12 electrically connected to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0116] Advantageously, the wireless communication between the wireless transmitter 12 of the motorized drive device 2 and the wireless receiver 17 of the peripheral device 4 is a communication by radio waves.

[0117] We will now describe, with reference to figures 1 to 3, the signals exchanged between the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, the wireless transmitter 12 and the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4.

[0118] Preferably, the wireless transmitter 12 of the motorized drive device 2 includes means for converting a first signal S15, the first signal S15 being a power supply signal from the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, into a second signal S12_ON, S12_OFF, the second signal S12_ON, S12_OFF being a control signal of the peripheral device 4.

[0119] Thus, the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 includes at least one control element, in particular a microcontroller, emitting the first signal S15 to the wireless transmitter 12 electrically connected to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, so that the wireless transmitter 12 automatically emits the second signal S12_ON, S12_OFF to the wireless receiver 17 of the peripheral device 4.

[0120] The first signal S15 emitted by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 is a power supply signal from a peripheral device, in particular from the other peripheral device which is not electrically self-sufficient.

[0121] Here, the first signal S15 emitted by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 is an electrical signal.

[0122] The first signal S15 emitted by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 may correspond, in particular, to a movement signal in progress implemented by the electromechanical actuator 6 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0123] The emission of the first signal S15 by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 can correspond to the execution of a command to start the electromechanical actuator 6 by the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2. This command to start the electromechanical actuator 6 can be issued by the local control unit 9 or the central control unit 10.

[0124] The interruption of the first signal S15 by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 can correspond to the execution of a stop order of the electromechanical actuator 6 by the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2. This stop order of the electromechanical actuator 6 can be issued by the local control unit 9, the central control unit 10 or by a detection sensor functionally connected to the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, which may be, in particular, a limit switch, obstacle or wind sensor.

[0125] When the wireless transmitter 12 is electrically connected to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, the wireless transmitter 12 is supplied with electrical energy by this power supply socket 15, following the activation of the first signal S15, or in other words when the first signal S15 is switched to an ON state.

[0126] The second S12_ON, S12_OFF signal emitted by the wireless transmitter 12 of the motorized drive device 2 is a wireless communication control signal of the peripheral device 4.

[0127] The second signal S12_ON, S12_OFF emitted by the wireless transmitter 12 can correspond to several control commands provided by the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 through the first signal S15. These control commands can correspond, for example, to the activation or deactivation command of the peripheral device 4.

[0128] Here, the second S12_ON, S12_OFF signal emitted by wireless transmitter 12 is a radio signal.

[0129] The means of conversion of the wireless transmitter 12 of the motorized drive device 2 enabling the conversion of an electrical signal into a radio frequency signal may be, in particular, a microcontroller and / or electronic components, well known to those skilled in the art.

[0130] The wireless transmitter 12 of the motorized drive device 2 is configured to transmit the second signal S12_ON, S12_OFF to the wireless receiver 17 of the peripheral device 4, following the detection of a predetermined operating condition of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0131] The predetermined operating condition of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 can correspond to the command to start the electromechanical actuator 6, so as to move the barrier 3, or to the command to stop the electromechanical actuator 6.

[0132] The predetermined operating condition of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 may also correspond to a presence detection by obstacle detection sensors functionally connected to the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 or to a switching detection of the electrical power supply of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 to a backup battery, in particular during a power supply interruption by the mains network.

[0133] The electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 performs a predetermined action, in response to the reception by the wireless receiver 17 of the peripheral device 4 of a control signal emitted by the wireless transmitter 12 electrically connected to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0134] The predetermined action performed by the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 is the activation or deactivation of the lamp 14 of the peripheral device 4 and / or the activation or deactivation of the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4.

[0135] The predetermined action performed by the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 can also be the activation or deactivation of other elements emitting a light and / or sound signal, such as, for example, an infrared emitting cell.

[0136] When the predetermined operating condition of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 corresponds to the command to start up the electromechanical actuator 6, or in other words to the activation of the first signal S15, the wireless transmitter 12 emits the second signal called the second activation signal S12_ON.

[0137] When the predetermined operating condition of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 corresponds to the stop command of the electromechanical actuator 6, or in other words to the deactivation of the first signal S15, the wireless transmitter 12 emits the second signal called the second deactivation signal S12_OFF.

[0138] In a first embodiment, as illustrated in the figure 2, the first signal S15 emitted by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 is a pulsed signal, i.e. presenting successively a low state and a high state cyclically.

[0139] In the case where the other peripheral device not electrically autonomous, or in other words wired, is electrically connected to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, this pulsed signal allows, in particular, to supply electrical energy to the other peripheral device not electrically autonomous in a timed manner.

[0140] The timing given by the pulse signal makes it possible to generate the flashing light signals of the lamp and / or the intermittent audible alarm signals of the other peripheral device which is not electrically self-sufficient.

[0141] Thus, when the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 emits a pulsed signal, the other peripheral device not electrically self-powered connected electrically to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 is a peripheral device comprising a lamp and / or an alarm driven by an electrical control signal, called a power signal, having a timing corresponding to the predetermined frequency of flashing of the lamp or sound emission of the alarm.

[0142] In the case where the wireless transmitter 12 is electrically connected to this same power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, the first signal S15, called pulsed, allows, in particular, the activation of the peripheral device 4, called wireless, in particular from the start of the pulsed signal.

[0143] Thus, when the wireless transmitter 12 is electrically connected to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, the pulse signal emitted by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 triggers the emission by the wireless transmitter 12 of the second activation signal S12_ON corresponding to the activation of the lamp 14 and / or the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4.

[0144] In practice, the second activation signal S12_ON emitted by the wireless transmitter 12 is implemented following a change of state, in particular the first change of state, of the pulse signal emitted by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, in particular during a transition from a low state to a high state of the pulse signal.

[0145] Of course, the second activation signal S12_ON emitted by the wireless transmitter 12 can be triggered by the transition from a high state to a low state of the first signal S15, known as the pulse signal.

[0146] Following the reception of the second activation signal S12_ON by the wireless receiver 17 of the peripheral device 4, the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 triggers the generation of flashing light signals from the lamp 14 and / or intermittent audible signals from the alarm 18.

[0147] In addition, the pulse signal allows the timing of the flashing light signals of the lamp 14 and / or the intermittent audible signals of the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4 to be controlled by the periodic sending of the second signal S12_ON from the wireless transmitter 12.

[0148] The electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 can thus generate the flashing light signals of the lamp 14 and / or the intermittent audible signals of the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4 according to the predetermined timing of the pulsed signal from the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0149] Alternatively, the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 can generate the flashing light signals of the lamp 14 and / or the intermittent audible signals of the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4 following a predetermined timing different from the predetermined timing of the pulse signal from the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, in particular as long as the wireless receiver 17 of the peripheral device 4 receives the second S12_ON signal emitted periodically by the wireless transmitter 12.

[0150] In the first embodiment, following the cessation of the emission of the first signal S15, i.e. the pulse signal, by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, the wireless transmitter 12 emits the second deactivation signal S12_OFF corresponding to the deactivation of the lamp 14 and / or the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4.

[0151] In practice, the second deactivation signal S12_OFF emitted by the wireless transmitter 12 is implemented following a change of state of the pulse signal emitted by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, in particular during a transition from a high state to a low state of the pulse signal.

[0152] Of course, the second S12-OFF deactivation signal emitted by the wireless transmitter 12 can be triggered by the transition from a low state to a high state of the first S15 signal, known as the pulse signal.

[0153] Following the reception of the second S12-OFF deactivation signal by the wireless receiver 17 of the peripheral device 4, the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 interrupts the generation of flashing light signals from the lamp 14 and / or intermittent audible signals from the alarm 18.

[0154] In a second embodiment, as illustrated in the figure 3 , the first signal S15 emitted by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 is a continuous signal, i.e. presenting a single change of state, for example from a low state to a high state or from a high state to a low state, to trigger the emission of the second signal S12_ON, S12_OFF emitted by the wireless transmitter 12.

[0155] In the case where the other non-electrically self-powered peripheral device, or in other words wired, is electrically connected to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, this continuous signal only serves to trigger the power supply of the other non-electrically self-powered peripheral device and to control the activation or deactivation of the other non-electrically self-powered peripheral device, the timing of the flashing light signals of the lamp and / or the intermittent audible signals of the alarm being generated by an electronic control unit of the other non-electrically self-powered peripheral device.

[0156] In the case where the wireless transmitter 12 is electrically connected to this same power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, the first continuous signal S15 only triggers the operation of the wireless peripheral device 4, in particular as soon as the continuous signal changes state.

[0157] Thus, when the wireless transmitter 12 is electrically connected to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, the continuous signal emitted by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 triggers the emission by the wireless transmitter 12 of the second activation signal S12_ON corresponding to the activation of the lamp 14 and / or the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4, following the change of state of this continuous signal.

[0158] In practice, the second activation signal S12_ON emitted by the wireless transmitter 12 is implemented following the switching to the ON state of the continuous signal emitted by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, in particular during a transition from a low state to a high state of the continuous signal.

[0159] Of course, the second activation signal S12_ON emitted by the wireless transmitter 12 can be triggered by the transition from a high state to a low state of the first signal S15, called continuous.

[0160] Preferably, with reference to the first and second embodiments and, more particularly in the second embodiment, the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 includes means for timing the flashing light signals of the lamp 14 and / or the intermittent audible signals of the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4.

[0161] Thus, the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 allows the timing of the flashing light signals of the lamp 14 and / or the intermittent sound signals of the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4 to be generated.

[0162] In this way, the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 is autonomous to generate the timing of the flashing light signals of the lamp 14 and / or the intermittent sound signals of the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4.

[0163] In practice, the timing means of the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 are activated, following the emission of the second activation signal S12_ON by the wireless transmitter 12 which was generated by the change of state of the first signal S15 emitted by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0164] In the case of the second embodiment, the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 makes it possible to generate the timing of the flashing light signals of the lamp 14 and / or the intermittent audible signals of the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4 without having to use a pulsed signal emitted by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, but more simply a continuous signal emitted by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0165] Following the reception of the second activation signal S12_ON by the wireless receiver 17 of the peripheral device 4, the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 triggers the generation of flashing light signals from the lamp 14 and / or intermittent audible signals from the alarm 18.

[0166] In addition, the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 generates and times the flashing light signals of the lamp 14 and / or the intermittent audible signals of the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4 according to a predetermined timing.

[0167] Thus, the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 generates the flashing light signals of the lamp 14 and / or the intermittent sound signals of the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4 and itself generates the predetermined timing of these signals controlling the lamp 14 and / or the alarm 18.

[0168] The predetermined timing of the flashing light signals of the lamp 14 and / or the intermittent audible signals of the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4 can be achieved during the manufacture of the peripheral device 4, or adjusted by the user by means of a selection element, such as for example a button, of the peripheral device 4 or defined according to the frequency of the first signal S15 called pulsed.

[0169] The predetermined timing of the flashing light signals of the lamp 14 and / or the intermittent audible signals of the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4 may also be dependent on the predetermined operating condition of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 detected which caused the emission of the second activation signal S12_ON by the wireless transmitter 12.

[0170] In such a case, the data associated with the predetermined timing of the flashing light signals of the lamp 14 and / or the intermittent audible signals of the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4 may be contained in the frame of the second activation signal S12_ON emitted by the wireless transmitter 12.

[0171] In the second embodiment, following the change of state of the first signal S15, i.e. the continuous signal, by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, the wireless transmitter 12 emits a second deactivation signal S12_OFF corresponding to the deactivation of the lamp 14 and / or the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4.

[0172] In practice, the second deactivation signal S12_OFF emitted by the wireless transmitter 12 is implemented following the switching to the OFF state of the continuous signal emitted by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, in particular during a switch from a high state to a low state of the continuous signal.

[0173] Of course, the second S12_OFF deactivation signal emitted by the wireless transmitter 12 can be triggered by the transition from a low state to a high state of the first S15 signal, called continuous.

[0174] Following the reception of the second deactivation signal S12_OFF by the wireless receiver 17 of the peripheral device 4, the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 interrupts the generation of flashing light signals from the lamp 14 and / or intermittent audible signals from the alarm 18.

[0175] Advantageously, in the first and second embodiments described above, the second activation signal S12_ON emitted by the wireless transmitter 12 is implemented following the elapsed of a predetermined time period T expectation_ON from the moment of the emission of the first signal S15 by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0176] Thus, the second activation signal S12_ON emitted by the wireless transmitter 12 is implemented only if the first signal S15 is emitted during the predetermined time period T attente_ON, so as to avoid an untimely triggering of the peripheral device 4, and in particular the generation of flashing light signals from the lamp 14 and / or intermittent audible signals from the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4, in particular due to possible disturbances of the wireless transmitter 12 and / or the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0177] In the first embodiment, the predetermined time period Twait_ON from the moment of the emission of the first signal S15 by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 can, for example, be less than a supply period TON of the first signal S15, said to be pulsed, supplying electrical energy to the wireless transmitter 12, or be greater than a period including a supply period TON and a cut-off period TOFF of the first signal S15, said to be pulsed, supplying electrical energy to the wireless transmitter 12.

[0178] The supply period T ON of the first signal S15, called pulsed, supplying electrical energy to the wireless transmitter 12 corresponds to the same supply period T ON of the first signal S15, called pulsed, supplying electrical energy to the other peripheral device that is not electrically autonomous.

[0179] The T OFF cut-off period of the first S15 signal, called pulsed, supplying electrical energy to the wireless transmitter 12 corresponds to the same T OFF cut-off period of the first S15 signal, called pulsed, supplying electrical energy to the other peripheral device that is not electrically autonomous.

[0180] In the second embodiment, the predetermined time period Twait_ON from the moment of the emission of the first signal S15 by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 corresponds to a fraction of the supply period TON of the first signal S15, said to be continuous, supplying electrical energy to the wireless transmitter 12, also corresponding to the same fraction of the supply period TON of the first signal S15, said to be continuous, supplying electrical energy to the other peripheral device that is not electrically autonomous.

[0181] Furthermore, in the first and second embodiments described above, the second deactivation signal S12_OFF emitted by the wireless transmitter 12 is implemented following the elapsed of a predetermined time period T expectation_OFF from the moment of the interruption of the first signal S15 by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0182] Thus, the second deactivation signal S12_OFF emitted by the wireless transmitter 12 is implemented only if the first signal S15 is interrupted during the predetermined time period T expectation_OFF, so as to avoid an untimely shutdown of the peripheral device 4, and in particular the interruption of flashing light signals of the lamp 14 and / or intermittent audible signals of the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4, in particular due to possible disturbances of the wireless transmitter 12 and / or the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0183] In the first embodiment, the predetermined time period Twait_OFF from the moment of the interruption of the first signal S15 by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 is greater than a cut-off period TOFF of the first signal S15, said to be pulsed, supplying electrical energy to the wireless transmitter 12, also greater than the same cut-off period TOFF of the first signal S15, said to be pulsed, supplying electrical energy to the other peripheral device that is not electrically autonomous.

[0184] In the second embodiment, the predetermined time period T waiting_OFF from the moment of the interruption of the first signal S15 by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 corresponds to a predetermined duration.

[0185] In the first and second embodiments described above, the predetermined time periods T waiting_ON and T waiting_OFF can be of identical or different durations.

[0186] In one case, the predetermined time periods T waiting_ON and T waiting_OFF can be of fixed durations.

[0187] In another case, the predetermined time periods T waiting_ON and T waiting_OFF can have adjustable durations.

[0188] The adjustment of the duration of the predetermined time periods T waiting_ON and T waiting_OFF can be implemented by means of a selection element of the wireless transmitter 12.

[0189] Thus, the user can modify the value of the duration of the predetermined time periods T waiting_ON and T waiting_OFF using the selection element of the wireless transmitter 12.

[0190] As a non-limiting example, the selection element of the wireless transmitter 12 allowing adjustment of the duration of the predetermined time periods T waiting_ON and T waiting_OFF can be a jumper.

[0191] In the example of the first embodiment, the adjustment of the duration of the predetermined time periods T expectation_ON and T expectation_OFF can be implemented automatically by the wireless transmitter 12, depending on the frequency of the first signal S15, called pulse signal, emitted by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0192] In practice, the wireless transmitter 12 includes an energy reserve, so that the wireless transmitter 12 is supplied with electrical energy from the energy reserve to transmit the second deactivation signal S12_OFF to the peripheral device 4, following the interruption of the first signal S15 emitted by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0193] Thus, the wireless transmitter 12 is supplied with electrical energy by the energy reserve, following the interruption of the first signal S15 by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0194] When the first signal S15 is interrupted by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, or in other words corresponding to an OFF state, the wireless transmitter 12 is no longer supplied with electrical energy through the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0195] In this way, the wireless transmitter 12 is kept active by the energy reserve, so that it can transmit the second deactivation signal S12_OFF to the peripheral device 4, following the interruption of the first signal S15.

[0196] In addition, the energy reserve allows the wireless transmitter 12 to remain active during the predetermined time period T expect_OFF, so that it can transmit the second deactivation signal S12_OFF to the peripheral device 4, following the elapsed time period T expect_OFF starting from the moment of the interruption of the first signal S15 by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0197] Furthermore, the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 can switch to an energy saving mode, following the interruption of the first signal S15, so as to minimize the electrical energy consumption of the motorized drive device 2.

[0198] The energy reserve of the wireless transmitter 12 can be a capacitor or an accumulator, which can be charged when the first signal S15 is emitted by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, or a battery, such as for example a cell.

[0199] In an example of an embodiment that can be implemented by the first and second embodiments described above, the wireless transmitter 12 sends the second deactivation signal S12_OFF to the peripheral device 4, referred to as wireless, following the elapsed of a predetermined time period T activation from the moment of the emission of the first signal S15 by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, so as to control the extinction of light and / or sound signals emitted by the peripheral device 4, and, in particular, the stopping of the lamp 14 and / or the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4.

[0200] Here, the wireless transmitter 12 includes a timer to determine the period of time elapsed from the moment of the emission of the first signal S15, so that it can emit the second deactivation signal S12_OFF, following the attainment of the predetermined time period T activation.

[0201] The timer can be an internal counting element of a microcontroller of the wireless transmitter 12, or a counting element associated with a clock of the wireless transmitter 12.

[0202] In another example of an embodiment that can be implemented by the first and second embodiments described above, the wireless transmitter 12 sends the second deactivation signal S12_OFF to the peripheral device 4, referred to as wireless, following the reception by the command receiving module of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 of a stop command of the electromechanical actuator 6.

[0203] The stop command of the electromechanical actuator 6 received by the command receiving module of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 can come from the local control unit 9, the central control unit 10, or a detection sensor functionally connected to the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0204] Alternatively, the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 emits a stop signal, following the elapsed of a predetermined period of time, so as to command the stopping of the peripheral device 4, and, in particular, the stopping of the lamp 14 and / or the alarm 18 of the peripheral device 4.

[0205] Thus, the wireless transmitter 12 only sends the second activation signal S12_ON to the peripheral device 4. The stop signal sent by the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 replaces the second deactivation signal S12_OFF sent by the wireless transmitter 12 to the peripheral device 4, so as to be able to switch the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 into an energy saving mode, following the transmission of the first signal S15 by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0206] In this way, the peripheral device 4 is autonomous, following the reception of the second activation signal S12_ON by the wireless receiver 17, and the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 minimizes its electrical energy consumption, following the emission of the first signal S15 by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0207] Furthermore, in such an embodiment, the wireless transmitter 12 does not transmit the second deactivation signal S12_OFF to the peripheral device 4, so that the wireless transmitter 12 does not need to monitor, and in particular convert and process, the first signal S15 emitted by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, following the transmission of the second activation signal S12_ON by the wireless transmitter 12.

[0208] Here, the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 includes a timer to determine the period of time elapsed from the moment of the emission of the first signal S15, so that the stop signal can be emitted, following the attainment of the predetermined period of time.

[0209] The timer can be an internal counting element of a microcontroller of the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4, or a counting element associated with a clock of the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4.

[0210] In an example of an embodiment that can be implemented by the first and second embodiments described above, the wireless transmitter 12 again transmits the second activation signal S12_ON to the peripheral device 4, referred to as wireless, following the elapsed of a predetermined period of time, so as to prolong the duration of activation of the light and / or sound signals emitted by the peripheral device 4.

[0211] As a non-limiting example, the duration of the predetermined time period can be on the order of twenty seconds.

[0212] Thus, the return of the second activation signal S12_ON by the wireless transmitter 12 to the peripheral device 4 allows the light and / or sound signals emitted by the peripheral device 4 to remain active as long as the second deactivation signal S12_OFF is not emitted by the wireless transmitter 12 to the peripheral device 4.

[0213] Here, the wireless transmitter 12 includes a timer to determine the period of time elapsed from the moment of the emission of the first signal S15, so that it can emit the second activation signal S12_ON again, following the attainment of the predetermined period of time.

[0214] The timer can be an internal counting element of a microcontroller of the wireless transmitter 12, or a counting element associated with a clock of the wireless transmitter 12.

[0215] In addition, the return of the second activation signal S12_ON by the wireless transmitter 12 to the peripheral device 4 can reset a timer of the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4, so as to keep active the light and / or sound signals emitted by the peripheral device 4.

[0216] The timer of the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 allows the light and / or sound signals emitted by the peripheral device 4 to be interrupted, following the elapsed maximum operating time period of the peripheral device 4, in particular in the absence of reception of the second deactivation signal S12_OFF by the wireless receiver 17 of the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4, so as to minimize the electrical energy consumption of the peripheral device 4, and in particular to save its battery.

[0217] Advantageously, the return of the second activation signal S12_ON by the wireless transmitter 12 to the peripheral device 4 is implemented provided that the first signal S15 is kept active by the control element of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0218] In the first embodiment, the return of the second activation signal S12_ON by the wireless transmitter 12 to the peripheral device 4 is implemented provided that the first pulsed signal S15 periodically switches between the ON state and the OFF state.

[0219] In the second embodiment, the return of the second activation signal S12_ON by the wireless transmitter 12 to the peripheral device 4 is implemented provided that the first signal S15, called continuous, is maintained in the ON state.

[0220] Furthermore, the return of the second activation signal S12_ON by the wireless transmitter 12 to the peripheral device 4 can be implemented depending on the predetermined operating condition of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 detected which caused the first emission of the second activation signal S12_ON by the wireless transmitter 12.

[0221] We will now describe a method for commissioning the home automation closing system 1 according to the invention.

[0222] The commissioning process includes a step of electrically connecting the wireless transmitter 12 to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0223] In one embodiment, the step of electrically connecting the wireless transmitter 12 to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 is preceded by a step of electrically disconnecting the other peripheral device not electrically self-sufficient connected electrically to the same power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0224] We will now describe the pairing of the wireless transmitter 12 electrically connected to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 with the peripheral device 4.

[0225] The pairing action of the wireless transmitter 12 electrically connected to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 with the peripheral device 4 consists of exchanging data, in particular at least one identifier, between the wireless transmitter 12 and the peripheral device 4, so as to enable wireless communication between them.

[0226] In order to perform this pairing action, the peripheral device 4 is initially configured in a learning mode.

[0227] The configuration of the peripheral device 4 in a learning mode can be implemented when the peripheral device 4 is put into service, in particular by the first power-up of the latter, or when this learning mode is selected by a selection element of the peripheral device 4, such as for example a button.

[0228] In a first embodiment example, following the configuration of the peripheral device 4 in a learning mode and the reception of an order to start the electromechanical actuator 6 by the order receiving module of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, the wireless transmitter 12 is supplied with electrical energy via the first signal S15 through the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 and emits the second activation signal S12_ON towards the peripheral device 4.

[0229] Then, following the reception of the second activation signal S12_ON by the wireless receiver 17 of the peripheral device 4, the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 stores the identifier of the wireless transmitter 12.

[0230] Thus, the wireless transmitter 12 is paired with the peripheral device 4, so as to allow wireless communication between the wireless transmitter 12 and the peripheral device 4.

[0231] The order to start up the electromechanical actuator 6 received by the command receiving module of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 can be an order issued by the local control unit 9 or the central control unit 10.

[0232] In a second embodiment, following the configuration of the peripheral device 4 in a learning mode and the configuration of the wireless transmitter 12 in a pairing mode, a command to start the electromechanical actuator 6 is executed by the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2. Then, the wireless transmitter 12 is supplied with electrical energy via the first signal S15 through the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 and transmits the second activation signal S12_ON to the peripheral device 4.

[0233] Then, following the reception of the second activation signal S12_ON by the wireless receiver 17 of the peripheral device 4, the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 stores the identifier of the wireless transmitter 12.

[0234] Thus, the wireless transmitter 12 is paired with the peripheral device 4, so as to allow wireless communication between the wireless transmitter 12 and the peripheral device 4.

[0235] The configuration of the wireless transmitter 12 in a pairing mode can be implemented when this mode is selected by a selection element of the wireless transmitter 12, such as for example a button.

[0236] The order to start up the electromechanical actuator 6 executed by the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 can be either an order issued by the local control unit 9 or the central control unit 10 and then received by the order receiving module of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, or correspond to a declaration of the peripheral device 4 in the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2, in particular through the selection and display elements of the control interface 9, 10, 11 functionally connected to the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2.

[0237] In a third embodiment, where the wireless transmitter 12 includes the energy reserve, the pairing action of the wireless transmitter 12 electrically connected to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 with the peripheral device 4 can be implemented by activating a selection element of the wireless transmitter 12, in particular by pressing a button, so as to emit a pairing signal to the peripheral device 4.

[0238] Then, following the reception of the pairing signal by the wireless receiver 17 of the peripheral device 4, the electronic control unit 16 of the peripheral device 4 stores the identifier of the wireless transmitter 12.

[0239] Thus, the wireless transmitter 12 is paired with the peripheral device 4, so as to allow wireless communication between the wireless transmitter 12 and the peripheral device 4.

[0240] In addition, such a selection element of the wireless transmitter 12 can be activated after the wireless transmitter 12 has been paired with the peripheral device 4, so as to test the wireless communication between the wireless transmitter 12 and the peripheral device 4 or to deactivate the pairing previously implemented between the wireless transmitter 12 and the peripheral device 4.

[0241] Thanks to the present invention, the electrical connection of the wireless transmitter to an electrical power outlet of the electronic control unit of the motorized drive device makes it possible to maintain compatibility of a home automation closing system already installed with a peripheral device requiring wireless communication for its control.

[0242] In this way, a peripheral device requiring wireless communication can be controlled either from a motorized drive device comprising a wireless transmitter electrically connected to an electrical power outlet of its electronic control unit intended to electrically supply another non-autonomous peripheral device with electrical energy, or from another motorized drive device comprising an electronic control unit incorporating a wireless transmitter.

[0243] Of course, many modifications can be made to the examples of embodiment described above without departing from the scope of the invention.

[0244] In particular, the peripheral device can be an obstacle detection device, such as, for example, an infrared emitting cell, especially one that is electrically self-powered. The infrared emitting cell is designed to receive a command from the wireless transmitter 12, so as to emit an infrared light beam to detect an obstacle or a presence between the transmitter and an infrared receiving cell.

[0245] The infrared receiver cell can be electrically connected to the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 by a wired connection or be electrically self-powered.

[0246] Furthermore, connecting the wireless transmitter 12 to the power supply socket 15 of the electronic control unit 8 of the motorized drive device 2 can also enhance an existing home automation system for closing by controlling several peripheral devices 4 requiring wireless communication for their operation using the same initial signal S15. The peripheral devices 4 can include, in particular, visual and / or audible signaling devices, or at least one visual signaling device and at least one audible signaling device.

[0247] Furthermore, the envisaged embodiments and variants can be combined to generate new embodiments of the invention.
