Abstract: The invention concerns a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) (21) configured to adjust a flow of heating fluid from a heat generator (10) entering a heat emitter (11) in a room (101) with a room temperature (Tr1) based on a temperature setpoint, the heat generator (10) and the heat emitter (11) configured to heat a building (9), the TRV (21) comprising: a communication link (41) to a thermostat (60) controlling the heat generator (10) based on a thermostat temperature setpoint (61); an input interface configured to allow a user to enter a defined temperature setpoint or acquire the defined temperature setpoint (T2); wherein the TRV (21) is configured to send to the thermostat (60) a command to trigger the heat generator (10) if a difference between the defined temperature setpoint (T2) and the room temperature (Tr1) has a same sign as a gradient of temperature to be generated by the thermal energy generator and the thermostat (60) has reached the thermostat temperature setpoint (61).

Abstract: The invention concerns a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV, 21), comprising an aperture to adjust a flow of heating fluid from a heat generator (10) entering a heat emitter (11) in a first room (101) based on a first TRV-defined temperature setpoint, the TRV (21) comprising: a communication link (31) to a processing unit connected to a thermostat (60) controlling the heat generator (10); an input interface configured to one or more of: allow a user to enter or acquire the first TRV-defined temperature setpoint; wherein the TRV (21) is further configured to receive from the processing unit a first aperture setting, the first aperture setting being defined as a function of a temperature configuration model available at the processing unit.

Abstract: The invention concerns a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) the TRV comprising: a communication link to one or more other TRVs in the room (9); an input interface configured to allow a user to enter a defined temperature setpoint (T1) or acquire the defined temperature setpoint (T1) from the one or more other TRVs; wherein the TRV is further configured to synchronize the defined temperature setpoint (T1) with the one or more other TRVs defined in a synchronization list.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor arrangement that comprises a luminosity sensor that allows using luminosity measurements in a room. In an aspect of the invention, the luminosity sensor allows determining a level of sun radiations that allows correcting temperature measurements, in order to obtain an effective temperature of the room. In other aspects of the invention, luminosity measurements are processed by a processing logic that combines them with meteorological predictions to calculate parameters related to the impact of solar radiations on the temperature of the room, such as the orientation of the room, or the position of the sensor in the room.

Abstract: The invention discloses devices and methods to commission (i.e. perform joining and binding) and, as an option to personalize, a Home/Local Area Network installed in a building. Preferably, the network is a Zigbee network. The devices comprise a Smart Electric Controller (SEC) equipped with a Zigbee T/R unit and a control circuit, and a Remote Control, equipped with a Zigbee T/R unit and an input module. The joining is triggered by a first predefined event that may be a validation by a network node of a joining request initiated on power up of the SEC or on an electromagnetic signal transmitted in a pair-to-pair communication between the SEC and a network node. The binding is triggered by a second predefined event that may be a taptap or a proximity of a SEC detected by an accelerometer or a proximity sensor embedded in the RC. It may be alternatively triggered by the validation of reception an electromagnetic signal transmitted in a pair-to-pair communication between the RC and the SEC.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device to control a window or a window shading device, based on at least indoor temperature or indoor humidity, and a temperature setpoint or a humidity setpoint. The devices of the invention have a number of interesting applications, such as the control of temperature or humidity in the room. The invention also discloses embodiments including the detection of the presence or absence of a human being in the room.
