Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a system for transmitting messages between a control terminal and controlled terminals for use especially in home automation installations. The controlled terminals are installed on a transmission network connected to the control terminal. The messages all have the same structure and include an originator field and a destination field. To install a new terminal a data item specific thereto is entered in the terminal. The new terminal installed transmits an installation request message including the specific data item to the terminal. In response the control terminal transmits an installation message which includes all the data needed for the installed terminal to converse with the control terminal.
