Abstract: A system for home automation includes: at least one actuator for controlling at least one lighting device, arrangement including at least one window blind, or heating device; at least one sensor designed as an operable switch or operable system and able to be switched into different modes; a processing unit; a bus-type data transmission device connecting the processing unit to the at least one sensor and the at least one actuator. The sensor includes a measuring device for registering an actual mode of the sensor and a memory for storing sensor mode information. The processing unit includes: memory access for acquiring sensor mode information stored in a memory of the sensor via the bus-type data transmission device; and a control device to transmit an actuator control signal via the bus-type data transmission device, in order to control the at least one actuator in accordance with the sensor mode information.
