  • Method for controlling an actuator for a building movable equipment
    Patent number: 10626669
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of controlling an actuator for a mobile item of equipment in building comprising the steps consisting in: deploying a model (M) linking at least one modelling parameter (P) with at least one characteristic physical quantity (C) of the environment or of the operation of the actuator exhibiting a temporal evolution; collecting a set of measurement values (VCm) relating to the at least one characteristic physical quantity (C) of the environment or of the operation of the actuator in the course of a measurement interval (Tm), each measurement value (VCm) being associated with an instant (Tm) of the measurement interval (Tm); determining or correcting at least one value (VP) of the at least one modelling parameter (P) in such a way that a modelled temporal evolution (Ee) defined on the basis of the application of the model (M) of the at least one value (VP) of modelling parameter (P) corresponds to or approaches an observed temporal evolution (Eo) of the characteristic phy

  • Group control method for controlling motor-driven screens as a group, automatic motor control for implementing the method, and home automation installations including such automatic motor control
    Patent number: 8393378
    Abstract: According to the method of the invention, the movement of movable screen ends for a group of motor-driven screens to a common position is controlled in a grouped manner. The method includes a step (E150) consisting of moving the end of a screen when said end becomes the farthest from the common position after moving the end of at least one other screen to said common position.
