Method for configuring, monitoring or supervising a home automation installation

A discovery method of a home automation installation comprising at least one home automation device and at least one central control unit, the method comprising the following steps:

• sending, by a management unit remotely connected to the home automation installation via a wide area network, of at least one compliance announcement or description message according to a target second communication protocol in connection with:
• at least one location identifier of the at least one home automation device according to the target second communication protocol which corresponds to a location identifier of the at least one home automation device according to the at least one first communication protocol;
• and at least one of:
• a type of the at least one home automation device;
• at least one description of a function or of a group of functions according to the target second communication protocol;
• and
• at least one description of a state variable or of a group of state variables of the at least one home automation device according to the target second communication protocol.

A control method of a home automation installation comprising at least one home automation device and at least one central control unit, the control method comprising the following steps:

• reception, by a management unit remotely connected to the home automation installation via a wide area network, of at least one first control message originating from at least one node communicating according to a target second communication protocol comprising at least one location identifier of the at least one home automation device according to the target second communication protocol and at least one definition of a function of the at least one home automation device according to the target second communication protocol;
• determination, by the management unit, of at least one identification element of the at least one home automation device whose content or combination enables a unique identification of the at least one home automation device based on the at least one location identifier of the at least one home automation device according to the target second communication protocol;
• application, by the management unit, of a function conversion rule arranged to convert the at least one definition of the function according to the target second communication protocol into at least one definition of a function according to the at least one first communication protocol;
• sending, by the management unit, at least one second control message to the at least one central control unit to which the at least one home automation device corresponding to the at least one identification element is related, the at least one second control message relating to the function according to the at least one first communication protocol.
