1. Architecture for the centralised control of events occurring in correspondence with remote peripheral electronic devices, comprising:
- at least one electronic central device (111), said electronic central device including a processing unit or CPU (123), a transmitting unit (115), a receiving unit (117) and a power supply unit (114);
at least a device (121) for generating a network timing signal;
at least one electronic peripheral device (11a, 11b, . . . 11n), said peripheral device being provided with a processing unit or CPU (23), a storage unit (25), a transmitting unit (15), a receiving unit (17), a device (21) for generating a local timing signal, a battery (13) and means for periodically interrupting and activating the electronic power supply to this transmitting and/or receiving unit, wherein said at least one peripheral device (11a, 11b, . . . 11n) is programmable by means of a flow of data autonomously output from said central device and received by said at least one peripheral device.
