Method for configuring a home automation installation and tool for implementing same
First Claim
1. A method of configuring at least one command receiver comprised in an item of equipment in a home in a home automation installation, the command receiver of the item of equipment being uniquely identified by an identifier recorded in a memory of the command receiver and duplicated on a medium accessible so that the identifier of the command receiver is visible, the configuring method using a configuring tool comprising an inputting means, a radio signal transmission means and at least a first memory and a second memory, the method comprising at least one iteration of the following steps:
- a first step of inputting the identifier of the command receiver in the first memory of the configuring tool;
a step of presenting to an installer a plurality of set-up functions written on a notice;
a second step of inputting, by the installer, information of a first type in the second memory of the configuring tool, the information of the first type being distinct from the identifier of the command receiver, wherein the information of the first type is scanned by the configuring tool from amongst the plurality of set-up functions written on the notice;
a step of generating, in the configuring tool, a message comprising the identifier of the command receiver in the first memory and the information of the first type in the second memory;
a step of determining a type of an action based on at least the information of the first type;
a step of transmitting to the command receiver, by the radio signal transmission means, the message in the form of an electromagnetic signal, wherein the information of the first type does not include the identifier of the command receiver;
a step of carrying out, in the item of equipment, the action, which is at least partially determined by the information of the first type.

Abstract
Method of configuring equipment in a home automation installation, each item of equipment being identified thanks to an identifier recorded in memory and duplicated on an accessible medium so as to be visible, the configuring method using a configuring tool comprising an inputting means, a signal transmission means and at least a first memory and a second memory, the method comprising several iterations of the following steps:
- the step of generating, in the configuring tool, a message comprising the content of the first memory intended for receiving, after an input, the identifier of an item of equipment and the content of the second memory intended for receiving, after an input, information of a first type;
- the step of transmitting, by the radio signal transmission means, the message in the form of an electromagnetic signal; and
- the step of carrying out, in the item of equipment, an action at least partially determined by the information of the first type.
