Abstract: A wireless control device includes a housing, a movable actuation element, an electronic control circuit including a wireless transmitter capable of transmitting a control signal to an electrical device, an energy harvesting device configured to power the electronic control circuit, by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy when the movable actuation element is actuated, by delivering an output electrical voltage whose sign depends on the direction of movement of the transmission mechanism. The control circuit further includes a pulse detection circuit configured to identify the sign of the output electrical voltage and to store information representative of the sign of the output electrical voltage, the transmitter being further configured to include, in the control signal sent, the information representative of the sign of the output electrical voltage.

Abstract: A method for operating a wireless control device includes the starting up of a control circuit following the actuation, by a user, of a control unit coupled to an energy harvesting device to recharge an energy reserve which electrically powers the control device; the sending of a control message including a control command; the comparison of the elapsed time since the starting up of the control circuit with a first threshold value; when the elapsed time is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, the sending of a pairing request message to the electronic unit.

Abstract: An electrical connection point including a functional block that includes a functional faceplate and a rear electrical plug and including a base that includes a housing to receive the functional block in a plugged in position. To reduce the risk of accidental detachment of the functional block, while improving the removable character of its fixing, the electrical connection point includes a lock with a ring that surrounds the functional faceplate and is disposed so as to be accessible from the outside of the housing when the functional block is received in the housing, the ring being rotatable relative to the rear electrical plug between an unlocking position to place the lock in the unlocking configuration and a locking position to place the lock in the locking configuration when the functional block is in the plugged in position.

Abstract: A connection device for a luminaire includes a housing that is intended for installation in a mounting space in a wall of a premises, this device including a connection socket for a luminaire and a connection zone for connection to an electrical network. The housing forms an interior volume inside which members for supplying the luminaire with electrical power, members for connection between the connection socket for the luminaire and the connection zone for connection to the electrical network and a system for control and communication with a unit external to the connection device are incorporated.
