Abrégé

In a group of motorized screens where each includes a charging bar moving on a defined path, the configuration process includes a stage (E250; E260) which consists in determining an offset parameter (l n, O n) for each screen in the group, between a first reference position for the screen and a second reference position, one of these two reference positions being a reference position common to the screens in the group of screens. The grouped control process of a group of screens takes into account at least one offset parameter to obtain at least one alignment of the charging rods which were moved, following a control command. An automated command of a group of screens consistent with the invention integrates the means to implement a configuration and/or grouped command process as mentioned above.

A method for determining the effects of the wind on a blind (1) or the like that is provided with a sensor means (231) for measuring the effects of the wind in a first measurement direction (X1) and in a second measurement direction (Y1), the two directions being different, the method comprising the following steps: - collecting, from the sensor means, a first signal representative of the effects of the wind on the blind or the like, in the first measurement direction; - collecting, from the sensor means, a second signal representative of the effects of the wind on the blind or the like, in the second measurement direction; which comprises the step of: - processing these signals so as to provide a secondary signal representative of the effects of the wind and independent of the orientation of the sensor means in a plane defined by the two directions, in order to obtain uniform sensor detection sensitivity irrespective of the orientation of the sensor.

Abrégé

A sensor-transmitter intended to be fastened to a mobile structure of a motorized awning or blind and to transmit a wind security signal in a home or building automation installation, comprising, in a casing: an autonomous power source, a vibration sensor, a wireless transmitter and a processing logic unit analyzing the signals obtained from the vibration sensor to decide whether to transmit the wind security signal by the wireless transmitter, wherein it comprises means of detecting a mechanical state of the casing, the sensor-transmitter being: in an operational state when the casing is closed and fastened to the mobile structure, the transmission of the wind security signal being enabled in this operational state, in order to retract the awning or blind when a wind security threshold is reached; and in a disabled state otherwise, the transmission of the wind security signal being prohibited in this disabled state, whereas the transmission of other signals remains possible, or the transmission of the wind security signal being enabled in this disabled state, the wind security signal being disabled by a disabling signal.

Abrégé

A method for setting a safety threshold that triggers the sending, by an acceleration or movement sensor device (20), of a safety signal that causes a safety movement of a motorised screen (11) used as a closure or as a sunshade or for privacy, said method comprising the following steps: - manual shaking of the screen, - recording of a signal produced by a sensor means (33) during the manual shaking step, and - determination of the safety threshold from this recording.
