    [0003] FIELD OF THE INVENTION
    [0004] The present invention relates to an arrangement for the control of electrical appliances, of the type used in homes or offices. The invention being preferably related to saving energy in an intelligent way and generating user comfort.
    [0006] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    [0007] As is known, many of the electrical and electronic devices that are used in the home have a certain energy consumption even if they are in a state of rest or inactive. Much of this consumption is known as phantom or Stand By consumption, which represents a considerable percentage of the annual electricity consumption of a home. This is due to the fact that the energy sources of most of the current electrical appliances consume energy even if the appliance is switched off if they are connected to the electrical network, because they remain in an alert state (Stand By) before the user's intention to turn them on. Conventional transformers also have a marginal consumption when they are not used if they are connected to the electrical network.
    [0009] In addition, another significant and unnecessary consumption factor is usually the luminaires that are left on at night, and that the user turns them off only when he wakes up in the morning and not when the sunlight is already enough to naturally illuminate the room. environment.
    [0011] It also happens that many individuals, due to the remoteness of some switches from the place of the building where they are, leave the lights on until the moment it is convenient for them to turn them off. It is worth noting another behavior very common, which is to leave lights, televisions, audio equipment, etc. lit in children's bedrooms so that they fall asleep but then remain on throughout the night due to the discomfort of getting out of bed, after children fall asleep, to turn them off.
    [0013] There are also devices such as digital frames or decoration lights that are usually on 24 hours a day, although no one is in the room due to the difficulty and discomfort of connecting and disconnecting them from the electrical network only when someone can observe them.
    [0015] A very common problem with electrical outlets is the danger that their location creates when there are small children in the home. Mechanical elements are often used to prevent someone from inserting an element through their slots and thus making contact with the electric current. These elements generally do not interrupt the electrical current between the contacts, but prevent something other than a plug from being inserted into the slots. When these mechanical elements fail or break due to stress of the materials or improper operation, the protection disappears.
    [0017] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
    [0018] It is then an object of the present invention to provide an arrangement for the control of electrical appliances that allows reducing the unnecessary consumption of the devices in stand-by mode.
    [0020] It is also an object of the present invention to provide an arrangement for the control of electrical appliances that allows turning off or on either electrical appliances or lighting fixtures that are far from the user's reach even in other environments. And that also allows to turn on or turn off all electrical appliances and lighting fixtures in a building from a single device, but which in turn makes it possible to govern each of them independently.
    [0021] It is also an object of the present invention to provide an arrangement for the control of electrical appliances that provides safety for the user and causes substantial energy savings, while generating comfort for the user.
    [0023] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an arrangement for the control of electrical appliances, wherein the arrangement comprises at least one master device and one slave switch device, or at least one master device and one slave outlet device, or at least one least two master devices as long as at least one is of the switch type. Or any of the master devices such as switches and an external control.
    [0025] DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
    [0026] For greater clarity and understanding of the object of the present invention, it has been illustrated in several figures, in which it has been represented in one of the preferred embodiments, all by way of example, where:
    [0028] Figure 1 is a diagram of the arrangement object of the present invention;
    [0029] Y
    [0030] Figure 2 is an application scheme of the arrangement of Figure 1.
    [0032] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EXAMPLE OF REALIZATION
    [0033] The aim pursued by the invention is achieved thanks to the development of devices that can interrupt the electrical current of the connected devices when the user activates their sensor, and that also have an intercommunication mechanism that allows them to respond to an interruption order from from another of these devices.
    [0035] They have a hierarchical interconnection structure where the master type devices can both generate an on or off signal as well as replicate a signal from another master. Devices Slave type only receive on or off signals and interrupt the electrical current or allow the electrical current to pass to the connected appliance depending on the received signal.
    [0037] Master-type devices send signals when their sensor is triggered or when a signal arrives at their input port. Slave-type devices respond both to the activation of their sensor as well as to the signal it receives at its communication port.
    [0039] The devices have optical type sensors that allow them to detect when an object approaches it and interpret it as the user's intention to activate or deactivate the device. These optical sensors also allow calculating the light level of the environment in which they are installed in order to interrupt the electrical current of the connected appliance when the level exceeds the value established during installation. These optical sensors can also recognize light signals from external devices allowing remote control of all masters and slaves.
    [0041] The external control devices have the ability to emit a coded signal, which allows controlling all the installed masters and slaves with a single control device and with no quantity limit. Thanks to all the aforementioned characteristics, users will be able to interrupt the electrical current in all or several of the electrical and electronic devices, whether they are in the same environment or in other environments of the place, with the single action of activate the sensor of a master or slave, send a coded light signal through an external control or when the sunlight exceeds a certain threshold. All with the aim of avoiding that the connected appliances generate unnecessary energy consumption or that the electrical outlets represent a potential danger in the presence of children. Combined switch circuits can also be made without a maximum number of devices. This means that the same device can be controlled by two or more switches simultaneously. This allows the switches to be placed as close to the users as possible to increase accessibility.
    [0043] With reference to the figures, the arrangement is comprised of a master device, a master switch device, a slave switch device, a slave socket device and an external control device. In this particular embodiment, the devices of the master type have at least one signal input port that serves to receive orders from other masters, at least one signal output port that serves to send orders to other masters or slaves, a communications circuit that serves to manage the signals, an optical sensor designed to detect nearby objects, receive light signals from an external control and measure the light level of the environment, a processing circuit to control the operation of the device.
    [0045] On the other hand, the slave switch-type device has at least one signal input port that serves to receive commands from the masters, a communications circuit that serves to manage the signals, an optical sensor that serves to detect nearby objects, receive light signals coming from an external control and sensing the light level of the environment, a processing circuit to control the operation of the device, an actuator circuit to supply or interrupt the electrical current of the appliance to which it is connected.
    [0047] In turn, the arrangement also comprises a device of the slave outlet type which comprises in this particular embodiment, at least one signal input port that serves to receive orders from the masters, a communications circuit that serves to manage the signals, a processing circuit to control the operation of the device, an actuator circuit to supply or interrupt the electrical current of the appliance to which it is located connected.
    [0049] It should be mentioned that the device of the external control type comprises a communications circuit used to manage the signals, a processing circuit to control the operation of the device, and a light signal emitter.
    [0051] Next, a detailed description of the operation of the arrangement object of the present invention will be made. In effect, the master devices remain in standby mode until they receive an electrical signal through one of their signal input ports, until they detect a signal through their optical sensor or until the ambient light volume exceeds a set value. When any of this happens, the master sends an electrical signal through its output port to all devices, both masters and slaves, that are connected to it.
    [0053] Master devices can both receive and forward signals and only send signals to other devices that are connected to it. The slave switch devices remain in standby mode until an electrical signal is received through one of their signal input ports, until a signal is detected through its optical sensor or until the ambient light volume exceeds a set value. When a signal is received through its input ports, the slave switch first checks the status of the current switch and then evaluates whether, based on the received signal, it should modify the status of the switch or should remain unchanged. In the event that the order received is contrary to the state of the switch, the slave switch modifies its state. When the slave switch devices detect a signal through their optical sensor they automatically change the current switch state to the opposite state. This means that if the switch was activated at the moment of detecting the signal, it must be deactivated and vice versa. When the ambient light volume exceeds a certain value while If the slave switch is activated, it will be deactivated automatically.
    [0055] Slave switch devices only receive signals and do so through their input ports and optical sensor. Slave outlet devices remain in standby mode until an electrical signal is received through one of their signal input ports. When a signal is received through its input ports, the slave outlet first checks the status of the current switch and then evaluates whether, based on the received signal, it should modify the status of the switch or should remain unchanged. In the event that the order received is contrary to the state of the switch, the slave outlet will modify its state. Slave outlet devices only receive signals through their input ports.
    [0057] External control type devices emit light signals through their signal emitter so that both a master device and a slave switch device can receive them through their optical sensor and thus react according to their functionality.
