PCT No. PCT/EP95/02218 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 23, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 23, 1996 PCT Filed Jun. 8, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/00459 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 4, 1996In a system for the control of several appliances (1-5), in particular light fittings distributed in several rooms (A, B, C), from a central command generator (10, 11), and with a method for setting this system into operation, one of the appliances (5) is selected and monitored for the issue of an externally detectable identification signal. All appliances (1-5) already have, before installation of the system, an original address (U4, U2, U1, U5, U3) and are installed without regard to these original addresses. After the installation, the original addresses (U4, U2, U1, U5, U3) are chosen one after the other, and the associated appliances (1-5) instructed to identify themselves. When the selected appliance (5) identifies itself, there is transmitted thereto a preset operational address (B5). This method is then repeated with other selected appliances (1-5), until all appliances have operational addresses (B1-B5). The appliances (1-5) can then be purposively selected, with regard to the site of installation or in terms of groups, using this operational address (B1-B5).
