Abstract
La présente invention concerne un système optique comprenant un ou plusieurs capteurs optiques passifs sensibles à la lumière ambiante (de la pièce) pour commander, par exemple, le fonctionnement de robinets automatiques (9, 9A,10, 10A, 10B, 10C) ou de dispositifs de nettoyage sanitaires automatiques (100, 100A). Les capteurs optiques passifs fournissent des signaux à des dispositifs de commande de flux comprenant un système électronique de commande (250) et des vannes (38, 140), et ne requiert que de très petites quantités d'énergie électrique pour détecter des utilisateurs d'équipements sanitaires, ce qui permet aux batteries de fonctionner pendant plusieurs années. Afin de commander le fonctionnement de robinets automatiques ou de dispositifs de nettoyage sanitaires automatiques en se basant sur la lumière ambiante, le dispositif de commande exécute de nouveaux algorithmes (300, 600, 900 ou 1300).
