Abstract: Method for monitoring for presence in a surveillance zone (ZS) using a surveillance system (SY), comprising the following steps: detecting an absence of movement or of at least one movement of at least one entity (E1, E2, En) in a detection zone (ZD); creating and/or modifying, in a memory of the surveillance device (Dl), a piece of movement information (IM); sending the movement information (IM) using the surveillance device (Dl) to a processing unit (UT) of the surveillance system (SY); detecting an absence or a presence of at least one terminal (T1, T2, T3, Tn) in a communication network (RI); creating and/or modifying, in a memory of a listening module (ME), a piece of presence information (IP); and sending the piece of presence information (IP), using the listening module (ME), to the processing unit (UT).

Abstract: In a residential automation system (100) including a terminal (101), a gateway (102), at least one remote controller (105) having at least one key and at least one peripheral device (104), a configuring method has a configuration step, performed by the terminal (101), including recognizing (E1) the gateway (102), the at least one remote controller (105) and the at least one peripheral device (104) and associating them; creating (E2) a configuration information including control commands involving the at least one peripheral device (104); and sharing the configuration information with the gateway (102) and with the at least one peripheral device (104). The associated gateway (102) and at least one peripheral device (104) are in constant synchronization with the terminal (101) during at least a part of the configuration step.
