A tubular electromechanical actuator includes an electronic control unit including a housing and an electronic board. A first electrical connection device includes first electrical connection elements configured to electrically connect the board to electrical connection elements of an electric motor and second electrical connection elements configured to electrically link the board to electrical connection elements of an additional electronic board of the motor. The first device is configured to plug into an edge of a printed circuit wafer of the board and to cooperate with the electric tracks of the board. In addition the first and second electrical connection elements are electrical connection elements that are configured to directly cooperate with the respective electrical connection elements of the motor and of the additional board.

Tubular electromechanical actuator and home automation equipment including such an actuator

A communication method for a home automation actuator comprising an electric motor driving a moving element in a building and two electric terminals making it possible to power the actuator by a power supply and communication entity (IMS) and allowing communication between the actuator and the power supply and communication entity (IMS), the method comprising the following steps:

Communication method in a system comprising a power supply and communication entity and a home automation actuator

Method of operating a power supply and communication entity intended to form part of a system with at least one home-automation actuator comprising an electric motor for driving a movable element in a building, the power supply and communication entity comprising two electrical terminals for linking to the actuator, making it possible to power the actuator and allowing communication between the actuator and the power supply and communication entity, the method comprising two mutually exclusive modes of operation, a command execution mode and a communication mode, to each mode of operation there corresponding a specific power supply signal, the method comprising the steps: &#x2014;choice of a mode of operation; &#x2014;generation between the terminals of a power supply signal specific to the mode of operation chosen.

Method of operating a power supply and communication entity and an actuator which are intended to form part of a home-automation system

A method and apparatus for determining a shading and ventilation position of a a roller blind. The method including steps of identifying the final slat position in which the bottom slat is at the limit of contact with the bottom end stop of the blind, assigning to this final slat position a data defining the position, and calculating a shading and ventilation position data defining the shading and ventilation position from the data of the final slat position. The method also includes steps of storing the shading and ventilation position data in a shading and ventilation position memory. The method enabling storing of the best shading and ventilation position without necessitating the storage in memory at the site of manufacture.
