Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0056016A1] The invention relates to a device for switching, controlling and monitoring appliances, especially appliances located in residential or commercial buildings, that is comprised of a base station (BAS) which is provided with at least one processor and one memory and which has one or more interfaces (SC1 - SC4) via which appliances (GE1 - GE3, BG1 - BG3) can be electrically connected to the base station (BAS). The inventive device is also comprised of at least one terminal (TE1, TE2) that is assigned to the base station (BAS). The base station (BAS) serves to transmit control signals to appliances (GE1 - GE3, BG1 - BG3) as well as to receive information signals from appliances (GE1 - GE3, BG1 - BG3). The base station (BAS) also serves to freely configure scenarios which affect switching and controlling processes carried out on any of the appliances (GE1 - GE3, BG1 - BG3). Scenarios can be activated by activation signals transmitted to the base station (BAS), whereby, after a scenario has been activated, the relevant appliances (GE1 - GE3, BG1 - BG3) are switched and/or controlled by control signals transmitted by the base station (BAS). The terminal (TE1, TE2) serves to transmit activation signals to the base station (BAS) and to receive status signals from the base station (BAS).
