Abstract: A ventilation or air-conditioning device includes a first component for generating heat or cold, a programmer second component, a power supply circuit shared by the first and second components, and a controller for the power supply circuit. The first and the second components cooperate to output air at a selected temperature. The device includes a relay for cutting off the supply of power to the first component. The relay is activated separately from the controller, and is arranged in the circuit such that the supply of power to the second component is independent of the state of activation of the relay.

Abstract: A home system for managing an internet network (9) access connection in which at least one computer (80) can access the internet by way of a main home connection (8). The system contains software means (83) capable of detecting a failure to connect to the internet network (9) on the main home connection (8) and of controlling an automatic failover to a back-up connection comprising a control box (5) of a system for the real-time measurement and modulation of the power consumption of a plurality of electrical appliances (2). The control box (5) is capable of accessing the internet network (9) by way of a wireless connection (6) of packet telephony type.

Abstract: A method is provided for assisting in the installation of a home automation system, including a plurality of communicating packages suitable for exchanging information with one another via a local home automation network, at least one of the communicating packages being a driver package suitable for exchanging information with a central platform of the Internet network via a wireless packet-telephony connection. The method includes a step of connection (120) of a portable installation driver package and automatic searching (130) in situ for the best mobile operator to set up the wireless connection from the installation driver package from a predefined list of possible mobile operators The method includes automatic pairing (160) of each communicating package with a driver package and different steps (142-145, 150, 171, 172) for testing the operation of each communicating package.

Abstract: A method is provided for measuring and modulating in real time the electrical consumption of electrical appliances. The method includes measuring in real time the current consumed by each of the electrical appliances on each electrical line portion on which each electrical appliance is situated and extracting the frequency and the voltage of the electrical signal on each electrical line portion. The difference in frequency are calculated and an alert signal is generated associated with an electrical line portion when the difference in frequency on this electrical line portion is greater than a predetermined frequency threshold value (fthreshold) and/or the difference in voltage on this electrical line portion is greater than a predetermined voltage threshold value (Vthreshold).

Abstract: A heating, ventilation and/or air-conditioning device (1) includes at least a first component (9) for generating heat and/or cold, at least a second component (13), a power supply circuit (3) shared by the first and second components, and a controller (4) for the power supply circuit (3). The first and the second components cooperate to output air at a selected temperature. The device is characterized in that it further includes a relay (5) for cutting off the supply of power to the first component (9). The relay (5) can be activated separately from the controller (4), and is arranged in the circuit such that the supply of power to the second component (13) is independent of the state of activation of the relay (5).
