CONTROL OF A HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a sensor for controlling a home automation system, comprising an input equipped to detect events and a processor equipped to evaluate events detected at the input und to control a communication interface such that an actuator can be actuated by means of an actuator control message transmitted by the communication interface, wherein the processor sends at least one actuator control message to an actuator via the communication interface in response to a detected event. It is possible to operate a sensor in a particularly power-saving manner for example when, if no actuator control message for a first actuator is configured in the processor, the processor transmits a configuration inquiry via the communication interface in response to a detected event and evaluates a configuration response received via the communication interface.
