The invention relates to the control of building automation systems, particularly home automation systems.A basic idea of the invention is to make control of a building automation system location dependent, particularly to implement a kind of roaming service for building automation systems in that a user may control the system with a control computer roaming between different physical locations. In an embodiment of the invention a building automation system (10) comprises -a plurality of controllable electronic devices (121-1211), -a network (14) for connecting the controllable electronic devices, -a plurality of networking devices (141, 142, 143), -a first database comprising (161) associations of the networking devices with physical locations, -a second database (162) comprising associations of physical locations with controllable electronic devices of the building automation system, and -management means being configured --to detect a control computer (18) connected to the network via a networking device, --to assign a physical location to the control computer by means of the first database, and --to provide the control computer with a control configuration for controllable electronic devices queried from the second database based on the assigned physical location. |
