Abstract
The configuration method for an installation comprising solar protection and/or lighting devices controlled by a central unit comprising a memory, microprocessor and a user interface, is characterized in that method comprises an iteration, over all of the solar protection and/or lighting devices, and comprises a parameterization step that includes phases of entry and recording of data defining the exposure of the opening fitted with the solar protection device with respect to the sun, entry and recording of data defining the type of device, and entry and recording of data defining the maximum desired depth of penetration of the sun into the building, and/or the sought visual comfort. The method further comprises a calculation step whereby for each device, coefficients for a control algorithm and/or a control algorithm, intended to control the device, are calculated.
