Abstract: A home-automation system includes a first electrical appliance and a control device incorporated in the first electrical appliance, which includes a communication device for connection to a mobile telephone network. During installation of the home-automation system, the control device performs the following steps on the electrical appliance being connected to an electrical power supply: receiving via the mobile telephone network a start control message coming from a first control terminal, the message containing a telephone number associated with the first terminal; storing the telephone number of the first control terminal; and allocating a role of administrator of the home-automation system to the first control terminal.
