  • Patent number: 10017987
    Abstract: Disclosed is a motorized drive device for a closure or solar protection home-automation facility which includes an electromechanical actuator, an electronic control unit and a standalone electric power supply device. The electronic control unit is configured to detect electric power supply and supply interruption periods of the electromechanical actuator from at least one photovoltaic cell, using only a unit for measuring a magnitude linked to the electric power supply of the electromechanical actuator by the at least one photovoltaic cell, and resetting at least one portion of the data stored by the electronic control unit, following the simulation of a sequence of electric power supply and supply interruption periods of the electromechanical actuator, wherein the electric power supply and supply interruption periods are detected via measurement elements.

  • Patent number: 8044626
    Abstract: An actuation assembly (INST) of a screen (SCR) for closure, solar protection or privacy, comprising, on the one hand, a motorized actuator (ACT) furnished with wireless control command receiving means (RCU) and, on the other hand, a standalone power supply assembly (PWU) furnished with at least one rechargeable accumulator (BAT) and with a power supply connector (PR), designed to be connected to the motorized actuator (ACT) via an electric connection line (LIN) for the latter to be supplied with power by the energy of the accumulator (BAT), wherein the power supply assembly (PWU) comprises a man-machine interface (MMI) whose activation allows the transmission of information to the actuator, this information relating to the control of the wireless control command receiving means (RCU) of the actuator (ACT).
