The invention relates to a home-automation system and a method for constituting the topology of a home-automation system comprising a plurality of central control units, the method being executed by a user terminal (T) connected to the at least one home-automation system and comprising the following steps: receiving (ECTT3, ECTT4) from at least one central control unit (U1, U2) among the plurality of central control units (U1, U2) at least one message (MDL1, MDL2) comprising a list (DL1, DL2) comprising at least one home-automation device with which said central control unit is capable of communicating; selecting (ECTT6) at least one combination of at least one device in connection with one central control unit among the plurality of control units (U1, U2) for which the communicated device list (DL) comprises the selected device, with a view to connecting at least one device to said central control unit; and sending (ECTT7) a connection message (MR) to the at least one central control unit (U) selected in step ii so as to trigger a connection of the at least one device (D) to said central control unit (U).
A method for constituting the topology of a home automation installation comprising a plurality of central control units (U), the method being executed by a user terminal (T) connected to the at least one home automation installation and comprising the following steps:
A home automation installation comprising at least a first central control unit (U1) and a second central control unit (U2), each central control unit comprising at least a first communication module intended for communication, according to a first local protocol (P1) for the first central control unit (U1) and according to a second local protocol (P2) for the second central control unit (U2), with the aim of monitoring and/or controlling home automation devices (D), a second communication module (4) with a management unit (Sv) accessible via a wide area network and a third communication module (4′) for communication according to a third local protocol with a mobile communication terminal (T), the installation further comprising a plurality of home automation devices (D) comprising a first group (DGrU1) of home automation devices (D) comprising at least one home automation device (D) attached to the first central control unit (U1) and a second group (DGrU2) attached to the second central control unit (U2).
