Abstract
A system for controlling of at least one connected thing by using a switch capable of switching from an open position to a closed position and vice versa. The system includes a regulation device parallel-mounted with the switch in an electrical power supply circuit of the at least one connected thing. The regulation device includes: a module for detecting a change in position of the switch; and a communications module capable of transmitting information on the detected change in position to the at least one connected thing.
Claims9
A system for controlling at least one connected thing by using a switch capable of switching from an open position to a closed position and vice versa, wherein the system comprises:
- a regulation device parallel-mounted with said switch in an electrical power supply circuit of said at least one connected thing, wherein said regulation device comprises:
- a module configured to detect a change in position of said switch;
- and
- a communications module configured to transmit information on the detected change in position to said at least one connected thing.
A method for controlling at least one connected thing connected to an electrical power supply circuit on which there is disposed a switch capable of switching from an open position to a closed position and vice versa, wherein the method comprises the following acts:
- permanently powering said at least one connected thing;
- detecting a change in position of said switch by a regulation device parallel-mounted with said switch in an electrical power supply circuit of said at least one connected thing;
- and
- transmitting information from the regulation device on said detected change in position to said at least one connected thing.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a computer program product stored thereon comprising program code instructions to implement a method of controlling when the instructions are executed by a processor of a regulation device, wherein the instructions configure the regulation device to:
- control at least one connected thing permanently connected to an electrical power supply circuit on which there is disposed a switch capable of switching from an open position to a closed position and vice versa, wherein the method comprises the following acts:
- detecting a change in position of said switch by a regulation device parallel-mounted with said switch in an electrical power supply circuit of said at least one connected thing;
- and
- transmitting information from the regulation device on said detected change in position to said at least one connected thing.
