    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).
