    a) send at least one positioning signal from positioning means coupled to each of the devices;
    b) receive the at least one positioning signal in a control device;
    c) obtain a position information of the control device, depending on the positioning signals received;
    d) send a message to a central control module, with instructions to act on at least one of the electronic devices and with the position information obtained;
    e) send, from the central control module as a result of the message received, control instructions to a processor module of at least one of the electronic devices, where the at least one device is determined based on the position information of the device of control included in the message.
    Optionally, the present invention contemplates obtaining the position information of the control device, as a function of the positioning signals received, by triangulating said positioning signals received in the control device, thus obtaining coordinates of the position of said device.
    Preferably, the positioning signals used in the present invention are BLE signals, ie Bluetooth 4.0, which comprise a unique identifier and emission power information.
    According to one of the particular embodiments of the method of the present invention, it is contemplated to regulate an intensity parameter of a LED type light device by an interaction of a user with a mobile control device, where said interaction causes the sending of a message to the central control module with indications of said interaction, together with information on the location of the user, and the subsequent sending of the control instruction to regulate the intensity parameter of the LED-type luminous device closest to the user, based on the comparison of location information and a two-dimensional map stored in the central control module with the coordinates of all LED type light devices.
    Advantageously, the present invention therefore provides a method and a system whereby all kinds of nearby electrical or electronic devices are informed about their presence, so that they can from that moment act with that

    knowledge. For example, control devices, or switches, without the need for any configuration, can detect on which device they act at all times and, taking into account that lighting devices are usually located in fixed positions in space, the unique signals that Identifying each luminous device allows control devices, or mobile switches, to unequivocally discern their location in space, with the obvious benefits of precise indoor location.
    Other simpler examples of use would allow the technical maintenance team to precisely locate a device hidden in a suspended ceiling, under a technical floor or in a closet.
    With “Beacon” type beacons usually deployed in relatively hidden places, without the help of any visual or auditory mechanism to locate them, carrying out maintenance work such as replacing them or changing batteries is not an easy task. Therefore, deploying electrical or electronic devices, according to the present invention, with beacon capability (plugs, lighting devices, Wi-Fi access points ...) implies a multitude of advantages in their location, so that the present invention Not only does it enhance a method and control system for electrical or electronic devices, but, according to one of the embodiments, it supports the deployment of beacon networks in large areas, such as shopping centers, thus expanding its advantages.
    On the one hand, it allows to deploy beacons with direct connection to the mains, which avoids having to replace them when the batteries run out. Alternatively, the feeding of the beacons can be carried out by means of small batteries that, in fact, have a great duration due to the low consumption of BLE communications, but in the environments for which the present invention is proposed with a multitude of electrical or electronic devices and beacons associated with them, makes the monitoring of the state of the batteries a problem, so that a direct power through, for example, USB, taking advantage of the same power source as the electrical or electronic device to which each beacon is associated , solves this maintenance problem and makes its use in a real scenario much more comfortable.
    On the other hand, it is possible to distribute the beacons evenly in the space without the need to hide them since the lighting devices generally must be visible and usually cover the entire physical space.

    control circuits of the electrical or electronic device and the beacon device, so that it can control the signals emitted by it as well as read the signals generated by other beacons in the environment. Said control circuits of the electrical or electronic device allow, for example, to cut off the current, regulate the intensity, or any other action on the device as a result of the signaling received from the microcomputer. The microcomputer, in turn, has a connection to the data network through structured cabling, wireless network or any other mechanism. In addition, according to one of the embodiments, it may be provided with a solid state disk or other persistent storage means for storing the evidence detected from the beacon antenna.
    Figure 2 shows one of the possible embodiments for the microcomputer (4), where different interconnected functional modules are included. In this embodiment a USB connector (21) is included for the connection and feeding of the beacons described above. A power supply (22) is also included and a general purpose input / output module (23) is included. The core of the microcomputer is formed by a communications module (24), with Ethernet and WiFi network interfaces, and a processing module
    (25) CPU with a microprocessor and preferably a solid memory and a bus.
    The beacons of the present invention emit a signal, with a unique identifier, noticeable in the vicinity. Said signal allows to determine the distance of emission in function of the received power, with what in surroundings with multiple electrical or electronic devices of illumination, the receiver of the signal can differentiate between the nearest and the others. One of the particular embodiments of the invention contemplates a "Beacon" beacon emission circuit based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology.
    The present invention solves the difficulties in locating certain electrical or electronic devices and / or acting on them (Wi-Fi access points, plugs, light points ...) announcing, by means of the signals, preferably BLE signals, described above, the unambiguous presence of each one of the electrical or electronic devices to other nearby devices such as, according to one of the embodiments of the invention, a mobile or fixed switch. In this way, said mobile switches can act on said electrical or electronic device, mainly a point of light,

    corresponding to the lighting devices through a wireless access network (52), although it could also be wired, and a control device or switch (53) that, in communication with said central control module, sends the instructions to act on the configuration of one of the lighting devices connected (55) with said central module based on its location. The control device or switch, which can be mobile and implemented in a mobile phone or tablet, is transported by an operator, which interacts with a software application (54) installed in said mobile phone or tablet to send the commented instructions Previously based on your perception of the environment.
    Once the luminous devices have been deployed together with the rest of the components of the system of the invention, the beacons begin to emit BLE signals so that the other nearby devices know of their presence. Thanks to the fact that each of the devices is capable of not only emitting but also listening (through BLE receivers), each of them is able to feel the presence of the other devices, to feel their distance (estimate it based on the power of the received signal, taking into account that the sent signal itself contains information on its emission power) and transmitting to the central control unit the relative location of each of them. By means of triangulation algorithms of the signals the central control module creates a two-dimensional map of the location of the different luminous devices, with which, thanks to the precise knowledge of the location of each luminous device in the space and of all of them, and thanks to the unequivocal identification of each device, the system is able to send, through the control units integrated in the invention, instructions to adjust some parameter, such as the intensity of the luminous devices according to the effects of desired light.
    The lighting operator is provided with a control device or switch, which according to an embodiment of the invention is implemented on a mobile phone or a tablet, which incorporates an application developed specifically with software to determine the precise position of the user. which carries the control device, or switch, within the space in which the luminous devices have been deployed. In this scenario, the light operator moves through the physical space, such as a store, carrying the control device, or mobile switch, with the application installed. The operator during its journey detects points at which, under its perception, the lighting has to be modified to highlight a product line, create a certain atmosphere in
