Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de contrôle d'environnement destiné à piloter une pluralité d'appareils (1, 2, 3, 4) dans une habitation (10). Le système comprend un réseau de transmission pour acheminer des signaux de commande à partir d'un dispositif de télécommande (20) vers les appareils à piloter. Le réseau de transmission est formé d'une pluralité de modules d'interface de transmission (30), chaque module comprenant des moyens de transmission radiofréquence de courte portée pour communiquer entre eux et avec les appareils équipés de moyens de transmission radiofréquence, et des moyens de conversion radiofréquence/infrarouge pour communiquer avec les appareils équipés de moyens de transmission infrarouge.

The invention relates to an environmental control system for controlling a plurality of apparatuses (1, 2, 3, 4) in a dwelling (10). The system includes a transmission network for routing control signals from a remote control device (20) to the devices to be controlled. The transmission network is formed of a plurality of transmission interface modules (30), each module comprising short-range radiofrequency transmission means for communicating with each other and with the devices equipped with radiofrequency transmission means, and means radio frequency / infrared conversion to communicate with devices equipped with infrared transmission means.
