According to a preferred embodiment can be remotely operated devices or devices, especially drives for gates, doors, front doors or other statements of buildings or enclosures on smartphones or the like with gesture control and / or finger control and / or use language. A special feature here is a feedback by directly observing the device to be remotely controlled on a display device. Modern smartphones and tablets already offer many possibilities of finger, gesture and voice control and a display, so that this embodiment is easy to implement.

According to one embodiment, a gateway is provided for this purpose, which connects the previously remote via coded radio signals remotely controlled devices with the PC world, with a zoom network (WLAN, LAN) and / or with a telephone network.

In current Torantrieben the Hörmann KG bi-directional radio transmitter are already provided with which the actual state of the remote controlled door can be queried. A bidirectional transmitter communicates with the door drive, door drive or lighting via radio in a bidirectional manner. This means that the actual state can be displayed via a display device on the transmitter, currently LEDs.

Preferably, there is also a connection by radio between transmitter and gateway. The connection is preferably unidirectional from the transmitter to the gateway. The transmitter can send its code to the gateway via radio. The gateway can then learn this code and knows that it can communicate with the door drive with this code accordingly. As a result, the gateway is already taught in a simple manner to a code.

The radio link of the gateway preferably runs at 868 MHz and / or e.g. 433 MHz and / or 315 MHz.

Preferably can be set with the realized by a data processing device intelligent Torantriebsfernsteuerung scenarios and implement a user management.

Preferably, for this purpose - by appropriate software, e.g. Smartphone or tablet app - intended to create even certain scenarios. Scenarios are understood to be some kind of workflows, i. certain processes that are desired for certain events. For example, a coming home function could be programmed, which is then controlled by an appropriate control. For example, the lights go on, the front door is unlocked, the gate of the enclosure opens and the garage door opens. This only as an example.

Another scenario could be a scenario "leave house": at departure then all gates are closed by a pre-programmed sequence of operations and all lights off.

The following is understood by user administration: different users can have different rights. For example, a caretaker may have access to all gates and devices to be controlled, individual occupants only to a specific area. Such a user administration can also be set up via app and in the remote controls in question here. For this purpose, for example, there is one account per user and the user can dial in via their account.

Another preferred functionality of the app may be that you can not only control a single gateway, but also can drive multiple gateways. For example, may be provided for up to twelve gateways by an app, e.g. via a smartphone, to be able to control. This is particularly advantageous for the use of the smartphone or the like at more than one location - e.g. Main residence, office, cottage, parents' home, second home, etc.

In Fig. 1, a first door operator 10 is shown as an example of a fernzubedienende building or enclosure completion drive device 12. The first door drive 10 is designed as a swing gate drive 14 for driving a building or enclosure finishing device 17 in the form of a turntable 18 to be moved in rotation about a vertical axis 16.

In Fig. 2, a second door drive 20 is shown as another example of a fernzubedienende building or enclosure completion drive device 12. The second door drive 20 is designed as a sliding door drive 22 for driving a building or enclosure finishing device 17 in the form of a sliding gate 24.

In Fig. 3, a third door operator 26 is shown as a further example of a fernzubedienende building or enclosure completion drive device 12. The third door operator 26 is e.g. a garage door drive 28 of the design "tow drive", wherein to a run in a guide rail 30 slide (not shown) a garage door 42 (not shown in Fig. 3, see Fig. 6) is to be coupled. The garage door 42 to be driven is another example of a building or enclosure finishing device 17.

In Fig. 4 already available from the Hörmann KG on the market radio remote controls 32 in the form of bidirectional remote controls 31 for remote control of the door drives 10, 20, 26 are shown. The hand-held transmitters 31 have four keys 33 programmable to remotely operated devices. For example, three of the keys 33 are e.g. for remote control in each case one of the door drives 10, 20, 26 programmed. On the fourth of the buttons 33, a lighting device 34 may be programmed as another example of a device to be remotely operated. Examples of such lighting devices 34 are shown in FIG. 5 in the form of light columns 36.

Fig. 4 shows two examples of radio remote controls 32 for gates, as they are currently in use at Hörmann KG and are sold under the brand name BiSecur <®>. As indicated in FIG. 6, the status of the remote-controlled gate 18, 24, 42 can be interrogated by an operation of a polling button 38 via radio. In an example, not shown, there are two possible status indications via a display LED 40: OPEN GATE and GATE CLOSED. This can be achieved, for example, via different blink sequences, such as e.g. Continuous light with the door closed and flashing with the door open. In the example indicated in FIG. 6, the LED 40 illuminates in different colors. For example, a yellow LED 40g indicates a poll, a red LED 40r indicates that the associated port, e.g. the garage door 42, e.g. 3 is open, and a blue LED 40b indicates that the door (e.g., garage door 42) is about to close.

Gate drives 10, 20, 26 already available under the additional designation BiSecur® from Hörmann KG operate with respect to the remote control signals with coded radio signals at very specific frequencies, such as, for example, about 433 MHz, about 868 MHz (currently preferred) or 315 MHz. A large number of such Bi-Secur® gate drives have already been sold and are in use in practice. FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 show examples of such door drives 10, 20, 26 already in use.

They communicate with the BiSecur <®> transmitters - radio remote control 32 - of Figure 4 bidirectionally, i. they can receive remote control signals from the transmitters on the radio channel and accordingly initiate or stop a drive movement, depending on the received radio signal. Further, they are able to transmit signals indicative of the ACTUAL state of the powered gate, such as the radio channel common to door drive remote controls - radio remote controls 32. «Open», «closed», «opening» or «closing».

Older door drives, such as Door operators sold several years ago (not shown) do not have the functionality of bidirectional communication; i.e. they are equipped only with a radio receiver for receiving remote control radio signals and unable to return an ACTUAL signal over the usual radio channel. There are also simpler door drives, which are cheaper than the bidirectional door drives and continue to be marketed. The newer and higher-functional devices are backwards compatible: The BiSecur <®> radio transmitter of Fig. 2 can also control such older or simpler Hörmann door drives, but then receive no signals from the gate drives. The BiSecur <®> gate operators 10, 20, 26 can also be controlled by older unidirectional hand-held transmitters 31 (from Hörmann or from other manufacturers, for example also by HomeLink <®> -control transmitters or by garage-mounted vehicle transmitters integrated in vehicles by vehicle manufacturers) and however, such unidirectional transmitters can not receive radio signals about the actual status from the BiSecur <®> door operators. Examples of such unidirectional hand-held transmitters 31 as mobile door transmitters 44, which are currently available on the market further from Hörmann KG, are shown in FIG. Further, stationary unidirectional torsos 46 shown in FIG. 8 are both already sold and in use and continue to be available on the market. Such stationary torsos 46 are used e.g. in the vicinity of the gate to be driven 18, 24, 42 are mounted so that entitled to the door even without a mobile transmitter 31, 32 have to be able to operate. All radio remote controls 31, 32, 44, 46 use coded radio signals to remotely control associated door drives 10, 20, 26 or lighting devices 34. The encodings are also used for authorization queries.

These radio links have proven themselves. Low-cost radio transmitters can be manufactured and mass-produced, so that each vehicle and / or authorized person can be provided with a low-cost hand-held transmitter 31, 32 in order to control a door drive 10, 20, 26. Such hand-held transmitters 31 may also be used to remotely control other functions, e.g. for opening front doors or intermediate doors provided with drives or motor locks, or for switching on, dimming or switching off lighting devices 34, e.g. Courtyard lighting, garage lighting, front door lighting, etc. are used. Also, with a multi-channel transmitter (typically having at least two buttons 33, occasionally also four buttons 33 which can be programmed to transmit different signals), a plurality of devices 12, 17 may be remotely controlled, such as e.g. a first and a second garage door 42, a lighting device 34 and a property entrance gate - e.g. the swing gate 18 and / or the sliding gate 22.

Downward compatibility has also been proven; If a property owner wants to automate a farm gate later in addition to his existing garage door drive, he wants to operate his newest Hofantrieb and his older garage door drive as possible with his one radio remote control 32 and wants to perform any reconstruction work on the garage door drive or possibly just install an additional device. Many compact garage door operators have integrated their receivers in the drive head, so replacement of the receiver could be at least difficult.

So far, the operation of a door operator 10, 20, 26 associated remote control button for actuating the door drive away from a currently occupied end position. If the gate is closed, it opens. If the gate is open, it will shut. If the door is in driving mode, pressing a key will cause a stop. Pressing the key again leads to operation in the opposite direction to the previous operation.

Figs. 10 and 11 show block diagrams for a gateway 50 which provides an interface between a radio controlled door operator, e.g. a garage door drive 28 and a network creates.

With such a gateway 50 shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, an increased functionality is provided. In particular, the operation is more intuitively facilitated. On the other hand, the greatest possible compatibility with already existing in practice remote-using devices 12, 17, 34 and / or existing transmitters 31, 32, 44, 46 allows.

Figs. 10 and 11 depict a gateway 50, e.g. is designed for bidirectional spark on the 868 MHz frequency. In other embodiments, other common remote radio frequencies, e.g. 433 MHz or 315 MHz.

FIG. 9 shows an overview of a building automation system 60 provided with the gateway 50.

The building automation system 60 includes at least one building or enclosure termination drive device 17, at least one gateway 50, at least one network 54, and at least one computing device 56.

The at least one building or enclosure termination drive device 17 is for automatically driving a building or enclosure finishing device 17 and is provided with a radio receiver 58 for receiving radio remote control signals from hand transmitters 31, radio remote controls 32 and / or door transmitters 44, 46.

Particularly preferably, the radio receiver 58 is part of a radio transceiver 62, by means of the bidirectional radio communication with the bidirectional radio remote controls 32 is possible.

For example For example, as a building or enclosure termination drive device 12, the building automation system 60 has multiple door drives - e.g. a plurality of door drives selected from the first, second and third door drive 10, 20, 26 - on, which are designed for bidirectional radio communication.

In one embodiment, the building automation system 60 also has at least one lighting device 34, which is also formed with the radio receiver 58 for receiving remote control signals and / or with the radio transceiver 62 for bidirectional radio communication with the bidirectional radio remote controls 32.

The network 54 connects data processing devices 56 to each other and / or to different peripherals 64 and / or to a wide area network, such as a network. the internet. The network 54 includes z. B a wired network LAN and / or a wireless network WLAN.

As a data processing device 56, e.g. a PC 66 or other stationary computer or computer and / or a mobile data processing device, such as in particular a laptop, a smartphone 68, a tablet device, a PDA or the like provided. In particular, a data processing device 56 is provided with a display device 70 (image display device, e.g., monitor or smartphone display) and operator interface 72 in which the operator interface 72 is associated with the display device 70 and adapted to detect finger movements and / or gestures and / or voice commands. Such data processing devices 56, which allow finger or gesture control and / or voice control, have recently become available in bulk in the form of smartphones or tablet devices from various manufacturers. The most prominent examples are Apple's iPhone <®> or Apple's iPad <®> or competing products, e.g. Samsung or other Android or Google devices or other newer devices from Blackberry <®>.

The building automation system 60 further comprises at least one monitoring device 74, by means of which the at least one building or enclosure finishing device 12, which can be monitored by the building or enclosure finishing device 17 and / or the lighting device 34 driven by the at least one building or enclosure completion drive device 12 and an actual signal indicating a state of the monitored device 12, 17, 34 can be generated.

In a non-illustrated example, a position signal of a position sensor provided in or on the building or enclosure completion drive device 12 is used as an actual signal or part of the actual signal. In the illustrated example, the ACTUAL signal includes image data of an image captured by the monitored device 12, 17, 34.

For this purpose, in the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 9, peripheral devices 64 are in particular a plurality of cameras 75 in the form of webcams and connected to the network 54. The cameras 75 record current views of the building or enclosure termination devices 17 and / or lighting device 34 powered by the building or enclosure termination drive devices 12 and transmit the image data as an ACTUAL signal or part of the ACTUAL signal over the network 54 to the at least one computing device 56th

The gateway 50 connects the at least one radio transceiver 62 of the remote device 12, 17, 34 to the network 54. a wireless connection between different gate drives (with or without bidirectional radio) 10, 20, 26 and a zooming network without much effort and with the maximum compatibility possible.

As shown in Figs. 9, 10 and 11, the gateway 50 includes a radio interface 76 for bidirectional communication with the at least one radio transceiver 62 and a network interface 78 for connection to the network 54. The network interface 78 may comprise a wired connection (LAN interface 90) for connection to a wired network LAN and / or a WLAN connection 80 (WLAN interface 92) for connection to a wireless network WLAN. The communication with the at least one data processing device 56 is indirectly possible via a wired network LAN, possibly also via the Internet and / or via a WLAN modem present in the network or the like, and / or also directly via an immediate WLAN connection.

As shown in Fig. 10, the gateway includes the radio interface 76, which makes wireless contact with the "868 MHz door drive radio bidirectional or door drive fixed code world" (bidirectional, with "fixed code" only unidirectional) contact or can be maintained, a power supply 82, either for supply from safety extra-low voltage and / or mains voltage, eg 230 V, one or more LEDs 84, which may also be multicolored, one or more buttons 86 and a WEB browser 88, with the wired (LAN interface 90) and / or wireless (WLAN interface 92) with the « other world »contact can be made or held.

Fig. 11 shows an example of the hardware structure of the gateway 50. The gateway 50 includes a radio transceiver 96 configured for bidirectional communication at the given door drive radio frequency (eg, about 868 MHz) for forming the radio Interface 76, a microprocessor 98 as a central CPU, a (eg automatically controlled) selector 100 for selecting the network communication (WLAN or LAN), web browser modules 102 and the LAN wire connection (LAN interface 90) or the WLAN Connection (wireless modem, WLAN interface 92). The indicated in Fig. 10 functions are at least z. T. implemented by loaded in the microprocessor 98 software.

As indicated in FIG. 10, the communication between the "868 MHz door drive radio bidirectional / door drive fixed-code world" and the "other world" is up to x channels 94 (typically 16) in this gateway 50 each other to be assigned.

At present, one channel always corresponds to one function (e.g., opening and closing are two functions), while a pulse function (on-stop-to-stop-up, etc.) requires only one channel.

If the communication requirement in one location is more than 16 channels, further gateways 50 can be used in parallel.

Otherwise, the radio interface 76 of the gateway 50 has the same functionality as the bidirectional handheld transmitter 32. In particular, there is a learning function, with the codes of the devices to be operated remotely 12, 17, 34 can be taught. In particular, codes can be learned by radio from an original remote control of a door operator or the like. For this purpose, there is a copy function, as it is already known in Torantriebs remote controls of Hörmann KG.

As shown in Fig. 9, e.g. at least one door operator 10, 20, 26 to a network 54, e.g. a home network or the internet connected. Via a smartphone 68, a tablet or other data processing device 56 with appropriate software, the gate 18, 24, 42 can be displayed in the current situation and operate intuitively, in particular by gesture control or by finger controls on a touch screen of the data processing device 56. This can be In particular, the gate 18, 24, 42 practically raise or pull.

For this purpose, a representation of the powered building or enclosure finishing device 17 is preferably shown; In this presentation, the commands can be intuitively entered by finger or gesture movement. If you drive e.g. along the closed gate in the opening direction (FIG. 15), an opening command is supplied to the door operator 26 via the gateway 50 and the radio.

Preferably, a method for controlling operating devices by means of a gesture on the basis of a webcam representation of the operated devices - devices 12, 17, 34 - created.

14 and 15 show a schematic representation of a data processing device 56 with touchpad or gesture detection capability, on which a webcam image 95 of a building wing to be driven, here a gate, is displayed. By moving over the displayed gate, this can be wound or pulled or stopped.

Smartphones 68 with finger and gesture control are already widespread and available from almost all leading mobile phone manufacturers in the market. An appropriate software can easily be created by an experienced APP programmer - for this there are service providers on the market - under the guidelines described here.

One aspect of the ideas described here relates in particular to the control of operating devices and actuators actuated as well as circuits. The cause for changing device states, controlling drives, or lighting is conventionally effected by operating wired switches. In general, this is effected by closing a circuit or dimming by lowering the voltage.

Alternatively, the same behavior is effected by the operation of so-called radio remote controls 31, 32, 44, 46, which typically send a correspondingly encoded analog or digital command to a receiver, which then switches or changes electrical states.

There are already in other technical fields, methods in which the remote control is replaced by a so-called smartphone 68, which serves as a remote control for various purposes.

With smartphones 68 and also with appropriate control tablets, tablet PCs or notebooks, the feedback of a monitoring device 74 can also be displayed. In addition, the video signal of a webcam - one of the cameras 75 - transmitted via LAN or WLAN can also be displayed on new operating devices such as smartphones 68 or tablet devices.

This provides the viewer with a real picture of the current state.

One idea is to allow the operator actions based on the image information of the webcam or video image 95. Thus, the actual Bedienbutton can be omitted if the user, for example. Seeing the video image of his garage door and the image represents a gesture with a finger that is still up.

The logic of the system recognizes which gestures are possible to operate corresponding devices. For example, a garage door can be controlled by three gestures.

Driving the finger from bottom to top over the current image causes the control command to power up (Figure 15). Swiping your finger from top to bottom over the current image will cause the shutdown control command (Figure 14). Touching a finger on the image may cause a directional drive to stop. Other gestures are not supported in a garage door, but other controls may allow other gestures.

Due to the speedy processing of the operating commands and the video signals, the user also sees the implementation of the gesture commands almost at the same time.

In principle, illustrated operating devices may have different control features. Goals can be opened, closed, partially opened, partially closed and stopped in the movement.

Shutters can be opened, closed, partially open, partially close, stop moving and set to a specific opening value.

Lighting can be switched on or off and dimmed.

Doors can be opened or closed for opening.

Generally, the number of possible gestures, finger commands or voice commands is limited to ensure easy and safe operation. Thus, in preferred systems, a maximum of ten commands to be selected are provided.

Possible gestures for operating devices or devices can thus be: - Webcam image of a gate: finger movement up = gate opens - Webcam image of a gate: finger movement down = gate closes - Webcam image of a gate: finger taps (once or several times) = gate movement stops or reverses - Webcam image of lights: two fingers together = darken light darker - Webcam image of lights: tap to turn on or off - Webcam image of lights with different colors: finger movement aside = change of light color (spectral range)

In addition, a webcam image can be operated with several devices to be controlled or even different devices. Here image areas can be defined for control by gesture.

Furthermore, a webcam image may represent different variants of devices for operation. The implementation of gesture to action of the device can then also be done by defining image areas as described above.

In order to avoid unwanted gestures or incorrect gestures, a device type or movement type can additionally be assigned by the user to each webcam view, this then determines which gestures are permissible and which are not.

Incidentally, the same also applies to monitoring functions, which are optionally available in addition to the possible operating functions and can also be retrieved via gestures in connection with the image. For example, a log list of the last door openings may be displayed when a unique gesture is assigned. This can be a double tap or any other gesture that has been clearly assigned to such a query.

The same applies to further monitoring queries such as duration of use, frequencies, user logbook, measured value history, etc.

12 shows a smartphone 68 with a representation of a simpler version, where instead of the webcam representation only one symbol of the driven building or enclosure is reproduced in the position confirmed by the door drive to the smartphone. Here you can give command signals by tapping with your finger by imitating key imitations on the smartphone. FIG. 13 shows a further variant for the smartphone 68, in which, instead of the gesture control (mounting / closing of the door), control buttons below the webcam representation are depicted. For example, For example, the user may choose such a user interface instead of the user interface shown in Figs. 14 and 15 if he wishes a more classical operation.

By the same data processing device 56, also several building or fencing completion devices 12 can be remotely controlled. A simple way of switching between different remotely operated devices 12, 17, 34 is shown in FIG. The user interfaces for the individual devices 12, 17, 34 with the representations generated on the basis of the actual signals can be easily exchanged by swiping with the finger across the touchscreen in the transverse direction. Thus, the webcam image 95 for a garage door 42 can first be called up in a row and operated as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15. By wiping a further webcam image of a remote controlled door 112 is called. This can e.g. be locked or unlocked. If the door 112 is provided with a door drive, it can also be opened or closed remotely. By transverse wiping next appears the sliding gate 24 or the swing gate 18, then the image of the lighting device 34, etc.

By home automation system 60 and / or the remote control 112 can be any drive that is connected via the Internet or other network, comfortably using iPhone®, iPad®, and Android smartphones 68 and tablets or similar devices.

In addition, a clear management and control of garage doors, entrance gates, light, etc. with bidirectional, secured via codes radio technology allows.

For garage doors and entrance gates, the door position is automatically displayed. This can also be done via coded bidirectional radio technology.

Simple control by self-explanatory symbols is possible.

For this purpose, the above-mentioned gateway 50, a network connection (for example, Internet connection) and the smartphone 68 are needed only in addition to the drives equipped with bidirectional radio. The software («App») can be made available as a download.

The data processing devices 56 with software shown in FIGS. 13 to 16 represent exemplary embodiments of new remote controls 110 of the type of interest here. Instead of the use of smartphones 68, other data processing devices 56 that enable finger or gesture control are also conceivable.

Of course, the remote controls 32 shown in Fig. 4 could be supplemented accordingly by a display with associated finger or gesture control and so individual remote controls are provided according to further embodiments.

The data processing device 56 can be further used for user management. For this, e.g. different remote controls 31, 32, 44, 46 and / or different users who may receive access via a data processing device and corresponding access rights via the gateway 50 on remote devices 12, 17, 34, different user accounts (accounts) are granted with different access rights. As a result, e.g. a larger condominium with communal garage and individual entrances, which may be used by different users, are managed.

Also, the smart remote control 110 formed by the data processing device 56 with software may be used to program and save operating sequences as scenarios. Thus, e.g. a function "Coming Home" are stored, in which a gate and a garage door are opened, a lighting is switched on and a front door is unlocked. Many different scenarios are conceivable and programmable.

If a smartphone or a tablet device is used as a data processing device for forming the remote control 110, the WLAN interface parts or the telephone transceiver device can be used for connection to the gateway 50. As a result, a transmitting device and a receiving device of the remote control 110 are formed by means already present on the data processing device 56. When a data processing device 56 connected to the network 54 is connected, such as e.g. the PC 66 is used as a remote control 110, the network interface is used as a transmitting device and receiving device of the remote control 110.

As shown in FIG. 17, a gateway 150 according to another embodiment includes a network interface 152, a WLAN interface 154, a radio interface 156, a first microprocessor 158, a second microprocessor 160, and a memory device 162. The gateway 150 is connectable to a network, such as the network 54, through the network interface 152 and / or the WLAN interface 154.

To supply the gateway 150, a power supply 164 is provided which has an input 166 for an input voltage, such as 5 V DC, a switching regulator 168 for regulating the input voltage to a desired operating voltage 3V3 and a filtered supply 170 for supplying high-frequency parts, as a radio transceiver 172 of the radio interface 156, with a filtered operating voltage 3V3HF. The power supply 164 supplies the network interface 152, the WLAN interface 154, the memory device 162 and the first and second microprocessors 158, 160 with the operating voltage 3V3 and a common ground GND by means of the switching regulator 168. The switching regulator 168 is, for example, a SC4626Z.

The network interface 152 may be a LAN interface 174 and may include, for example, an Ethernet controller 176 and a LAN socket 178. The Ethernet controller 176 is, for example, a Microchip ENC28J60-I / ML standalone Ethernet controller.

The WLAN interface 154 comprises a WLAN connection 180, which is formed for example by an MRF24WgOMA. This covers the WLAN standard 802.11g.

The radio interface 156, which has, for example, a SX1231 as a radio transceiver 182, is supplied by the filtered supply 170 with the filtered operating voltage 3V3HF and a filtered ground GNDHF.

The first microprocessor 158, for example a PIC32MX695F512H-80I / PT, provides the central gateway function through appropriately loaded software and forms the CPU of the gateway 150. The first microprocessor 158 handles user rights, manages the network interface 152 and / or the wireless interface 154 and operated by radio interface 156 reachable actuators, such as a door or door drive, lighting equipment or other home automation equipment. For example, the actuators are controlled or queried.

The second microprocessor 160, for example a uPD78F1142AGB-GAH, controls the communication of the radio interface 156. The radio interface 156 may, for example, control Hörmann-specific BiSecur® and fixed-code receivers. The radio interface 156 is designed so that a mixed operation of the BiSecur <®> and fixed code radio cards within the system is possible.

The storage device 162 may be used to store user-specific data, such as grouping, naming recipients or users, and their rights for gateway operation. The memory device 162 can be formed, for example, by an electrically erasable and programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), in particular a 25LC1024I-MF.

Further, the gateway 150 includes a reset means 184 to place the gateway 150 in a factory-defined initial state. The reset means 184 is connected to the first and second microprocessors 158, 160.

The LAN socket 178 is connected to the first microprocessor 158 via the Ethernet controller 176. Typically, a serial peripheral interface (SPI) is used to connect the Ethernet controller 176 to the first microprocessor 158. Similarly, the WLAN interface 154 and the memory device 162 are connected to the first microprocessor 158 via SPI.

The first microprocessor 158 is further connected to the second microprocessor 160 by means of a Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART). The second microprocessor 160 is connected to the radio interface 156 via SPI and may include and / or control one or more display LEDs 186. The display LED 186 may be multi-colored, as in the previously described embodiment, or may comprise a plurality of LEDs of different colors.

The user can connect to the gateway 150 in two ways. On the one hand, the gateway 150 can be operated locally. In this case, the user is in the same network as the central gateway 150. Typically, the user is doing this in his home WLAN with his smartphone and / or tablet. The data between App and Gateway 150 are sent directly, i. without going through the Internet, communicates to the gateway 150.

On the other hand, the user is not in the so-called remote operation in the same network as the gateway 150. The app detects this automatically and communicates via the Internet by means of an intermediary portal server with the gateway 150.

The gateway 150 is based on the first microprocessor 158, which may be, for example, a 32-bit microprocessor. For example, a TCP-IP stack is running on the first microprocessor 158. The WLAN interface 154 can also use this software network stack. The TCP-IP stack preferably runs without an operating system, whereby the tasks to be performed (tasks) are implemented via non-blocking function calls and state machines. The UART may be used for debugging purposes or to connect additional hardware to the gateway 150.

Incidentally, unless otherwise described, the gateway 150 is identical to the gateway 50 according to the first embodiment in its features and functions.
