Method and system for controlling home-automation devices in a dwelling

A system for controlling home-automation devices in a dwelling, wherein the home-automation devices are controlled by a control device comprising a touch screen and which sends each command to a central unit that redirects the command to the home-automation device being controlled, the central unit being connected by radio link to the home-automation devices, the system comprising:

• circuitry causing the central unit, using the radio link, to determine the list of home-automation devices;
• circuitry causing the control device, to associate each home-automation device with an icon and with an alphanumeric identifier;
• circuitry causing the control device to obtain an image of at least part of the dwelling;
• the control device, for displaying the image on the touch screen;
• circuitry causing the control device, to detect a selection of an icon from a list of icons;
• circuitry causing the control device, to detect a positioning of the icon in the image and storing the position of the icon determined;
• circuitry causing the control device, to detect a pressing on the image at the position of the icon stored;
• circuitry causing the control device, to generate a command at the central unit and intended for the home-automation device with which the icon is associated or displaying another icon related to the icon the position of which is stored if the pressing at the position of the icon in the image is detected, wherein other images are obtained of the dwelling
• circuitry causing the control device to display reduced images of other images obtained;
• circuitry causing the control device to display a selection of a reduced image of another image;
• circuitry causing the control device to display the other image corresponding to the reduced image selected;
• circuitry causing the control device to detect a selection of an icon from a list of icons;
• circuitry causing the control device to detect a positioning of the icon in the other image and storage of the position of the icon determined;
• detecting by the control device of a pressing on the other image at the position of the stored icon;
• and
• circuitry causing the control device to generate a command to the central unit and intended for the home-automation device with which the icon is associated or display of another icon linked to the icon the position of which is stored if the pressing at the position of the icon in the image is detected.
