Abstract
Home electronic automation equipment to be controlled is selected from among several predefined groups of equipment, via capacitive sensors which are disposed next to one another on a control unit. A predefined group of equipment is selected by activating individual capacitive sensors. At least one additional group of equipment is selected via a predetermined sequence for activating several of the same capacitive sensors, of which at least two capacitive sensors are non-adjacent sensors.
