IMPROVING AUTOMATION RULES BY DETERMINING A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EVENTS AND CONTROL COMMANDS

摘要

A method of controlling one or more devices (13) of a plurality of devices (13,15) associated with a control system comprises a control system (1) receiving input signals from at least one device (15) of the plurality of devices, determining events from the input signals, transmitting the events to a further system (26), receiving control commands destined for the one or more devices from the further system, and transmitting output signals representing the control commands to the one or more devices. The method further comprises determining a relationship between the events and the control commands, establishing a new rule based on the determined relationship, receiving a new input signal from the at least one device, determining a new event from the new input signal, and controlling the one or more devices according to the rule in dependence on the new event.
