The invention relates to a method for configuring the communication between at least one actuator and a remote control, in order to enable a control of the at least one actuator by the remote control, the at least one actuator being configured to communicate with the remote control, the communication between the at least one actuator and the remote control being established according to a first protocol or according to a second protocol, the communication according to the second protocol being implemented via a connection to a router connected to the mains, the method being implemented by a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal being configured to communicate according to the first protocol with the at least one actuator, and with the remote control, the mobile terminal being configured to communicate with the router according to the first protocol or according to a third protocol, the method comprising the following steps: &#x2014;identifying an identifier of the at least one actuator, &#x2014;identifying an identifier of the remote control, &#x2014;analysing in order to detect a presence or absence of the router, &#x2014;if the absence of the router is detected by the mobile terminal during the analysis step, transmitting, to the remote control, the identifier of the at least one actuator and/or transmitting, to the actuator, the identifier of the remote control, then transmitting, to the remote control and to the actuator, a request to deactivate the first protocol, if the presence of the router is detected by the mobile terminal during the analysis step, transmitting, to the router, the identifier of the at least one actuator and the identifier of the remote control.

Method for configuring the communication between at least one actuator and a remote control unit

Disclosed is a method for indirectly activating at least one connected object intended to be joined to a network of connected objects, the network of connected objects including at least one network organizing agent and a commissioning agent, each including a communication module, the communication module including a first radiofrequency interface suitable for communicating according to a first communication protocol, the method including a step of collecting information that is useful for connecting at least one connected object to the network of connected objects by a mobile terminal, a step of transmitting, by the mobile terminal, the collected information to the commissioning agent and a step of inputting at least one connected object into the network of connected objects using information useful for connecting the connected object.
