    Abstract: The invention discloses devices and methods to commission (i.e. perform joining and binding) and, as an option to personalize, a Home/Local Area Network installed in a building. Preferably, the network is a Zigbee network. The devices comprise a Smart Electric Controller (SEC) equipped with a Zigbee T/R unit and a control circuit, and a Remote Control, equipped with a Zigbee T/R unit and an input module. The joining is triggered by a first predefined event that may be a validation by a network node of a joining request initiated on power up of the SEC or on an electromagnetic signal transmitted in a pair-to-pair communication between the SEC and a network node. The binding is triggered by a second predefined event that may be a taptap or a proximity of a SEC detected by an accelerometer or a proximity sensor embedded in the RC. It may be alternatively triggered by the validation of reception an electromagnetic signal transmitted in a pair-to-pair communication between the RC and the SEC. On binding, a table of the commands fit for controlling the SEC may be made available to the RC, so that the RC is immediately configured to operate the adequate commands.

    Abstract: The invention concerns a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) (21) configured to adjust a flow of heating fluid from a heat generator (10) entering a heat emitter (11) in a room (101) with a room temperature (Tr1) based on a temperature setpoint, the heat generator (10) and the heat emitter (11) configured to heat a building (9), the TRV (21) comprising:
    - a communication link (41) to a thermostat (60) controlling the heat generator (10) based on a thermostat temperature setpoint (61);
    - an input interface configured to allow a user to enter a defined temperature setpoint or acquire the defined temperature setpoint (T2);
    wherein the TRV (21) is configured to send to the thermostat (60) a command to trigger the heat generator (10) if a difference between the defined temperature setpoint (T2) and the room temperature (Tr1) has a same sign as a gradient of temperature to be generated by the thermal energy generator and the thermostat (60) has reached the thermostat temperature setpoint (61).

    Abstract: The invention discloses a network communication logic that is configured to have an access to one or more previous versions of a connection driver. The network communication logic is capable to generate and evaluate connections/configuration tests and, if the tests fail for a predefined duration or number of times, the network communication logic is configured to automatically trigger a replacement of a current version of the connection driver by one of the previous versions. Thanks to the invention, the loT device in which this type of network communication logic is embedded, may become operative again, even if an update has disseminated a version that does not work in the configuration of the device.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a device that receives images from one or more cameras, process images and automatically detects unknown humans in the field of view of the camera, for example to prevent burglary. In order to do so, the device comprises a processing logic configured to detect faces, recognize faces and verify if a face corresponds to a face in a collection of faces of known humans. If a face is detected, but does not correspond to a known face, an alarm event is triggered. The processing logic is further configured to classify objects in the image in classes of object comprising at least a human class. If a human is recognized, but no face has been detected for this human, an alarm event is also triggered. Thus, an alarm can be triggered in any case wherein a human is detected, which is not a known, trusty human.
