Method of processing upgoing and downgoing application messages originating from or destined for an electronic unit for control of a home automation installation by a server

A method for processing downlink messages toward an electronic control unit of a home automation installation by a server comprising the following steps:

• a step of collecting an outcoming message on an outcoming queue coming from an application module, the outcoming message comprising an identifier of an electronic control unit and useful data;
• a step of establishing a connection between the server and the electronic control unit corresponding to the identifier of the electronic control unit comprised in the outcoming message;
• a step of transmitting a downlink application message to the electronic control unit, the downlink application message comprising useful data determined from the useful data of the outcoming message;
• a step of releasing the connection immediately or subsequently to a maximum delay.

A method for processing uplink application messages by an electronic control unit of a home automation installation toward a server comprising the following steps:

• a step of memorizing identification data of useful data corresponding to an uplink application message in order to allow correlating said useful data with the useful data of a subsequent downlink application message;
• a step of establishing a connection to the server at the initiative of the electronic control unit;
• a step of transmitting an uplink application message ( by the electronic control unit toward the server comprising the useful data and an identifier of the electronic control unit;
• a step of accepting the release of the connection immediately or subsequently to a maximum delay.

A method for processing downlink application messages by an electronic control unit of a home automation installation coming from the server comprising the following steps:

• a step of establishing a connection between the server and the electronic control unit;
• a step of receiving a downlink application message to the electronic control unit, the downlink application message comprising downlink useful data;
• a step of accepting the release of the connection immediately or subsequently to a maximum delay;
• a step of verifying the correspondence of the downlink useful data with uplink useful data of a previous uplink application message by using memorized identification data of useful data.
