Abstract
Method of operating a device (60; 100) for controlling home automation equipment (1a, 2a, 2b, 2c, 3a, 3b, 5a) for orienting and/or displacing a moving product of a building, comprising a display screen (101), on which a portion of the screen is assigned to the display of a first graphic representation, such as an equipment icon (4, 5, 123, 125, 131), symbolizing this equipment, which method comprises a step for graphic adjustment of the first graphic representation so that it represents, at least approximately, the real degree of orientation and/or deployment of the moving product.
Claims11
Method of operating a device for controlling home automation equipment for orienting and/or displacing a moving product of a building, comprising a display screen, on which a portion of the screen is assigned to the display of a first graphic representation, the first graphic representation being an icon representing the moving product, which method comprises
- a step for graphic adjustment of the first graphic representation so that the first graphic representation represents, at least approximately, the real degree of orientation and deployment of the moving product,
- wherein a user modifies the degree of orientation of slats or deployment of the moving product between two extreme positions by acting on means of transforming or modifying the appearance of a representation of the moving product, and
- automatically updating the first graphic representation in response to the modification to represent an updated real degree of orientation and deployment of the moving product,
- wherein the moving product is a window covering, wherein the window covering comprises:
- a venetian blind and the degree of orientation and deployment includes the angular orientation of slats of the venetian blind, or
- a blind, or venetian blind wherein the real degree of orientation and deployment includes a position of a bottom slat of the blind, or venetian blind, or
- a roller shutter or awning, wherein the degree of orientation and deployment includes a position of an apron of the roller shutter or awning.
