Control device for a solar protection means

A control device for a motorized solar protection means, to allow the movement of the solar protection means from a first position, towards a second position to suit a variation in sunshine, wherein the control device comprises:

• logic for breaking down the movement from the first and the second position into at least two steps separated by a time interval (T1), and capable of modifying a fraction of the time interval (T1), and
• the logic includes a memory storing in stages a positioning function of a solar protection means as a function of the intensity of sunshine and including a voluntary control means (8) having positioning priority in the solar protection means, wherein the logic is capable of modifying the positioning function in stages in response to a positioning order introduced by said voluntary control means, the logic not responding in all cases to such order if the order is given outside said time interval (T1), and
• a stopping means (STOP), which inactivated during said interval (T1) activates a following step and reduces the said interval by a fraction and if activated after the said interval and during the operation of the following step, increases the said interval by a fraction.
