Abstract
The invention relates to a method for configuring a home automation apparatus including a plurality of home automation devices and a plurality of central control units (U1, U2). The method is executed by a management unit (Sv) connected to the at least one home automation apparatus and includes the following steps: receiving (ETCfSv1) a configuration message (MCf) from a user (Usr) or an application (A) that is executed on the management unit (Sv) or another connected management unit, determining (ETCfSv3) a list (UL) of central control units (U1, U2) capable of executing at least one condition (Cnd) and/or at least one action (AcU1, AcU2) of a conditional expression (CE), and sending (ETCfSv6) a configuration message (MCfU1, MCfU2), including a definition of a conditional software code module (CCM), to the at least one central control unit (U1, U2) included in the list (UL).
