Method of configuring a home automation installation, comprising home automation devices capable of communicating with one another according to one and the same protocol and of constituting a local area network, this method comprising: - a step of detection of proximity between - a first home automation device (E1a, E1d, E2a, E3a, E4a, E5a), belonging to the home automation installation, and - a second home automation device (E1b, E1e, E2b, E3b, E4b, E5b), that can be configured or incorporated in the home automation installation; - a step of determination - of a first identifier of the first home automation device (E1a, E1d, E2a, E3a, E4a, E5a) and/or - of a second identifier of the second home automation device (E1b, E1e, E2b, E3b, E4b, E5b); - a step of obtaining a configuration human-machine interface (IHM_CFG), as a function of the first and/or of the second identifier (ID1, ID2), the configuration human-machine interface (IHM_CFG) comprising at least one prompt to execute a confirmation action by a user and the configuration human-machine interface (IHM_CFG) being obtained automatically, following the step of detection of proximity between the first and second home automation devices (E1a, E1d, E2a, E3a, E4a, E5a; E1b, E1e, E2b, E3b, E4b, E5b); - a step of provision to the user of the configuration human-machine interface (IHM_CFG); - a step of analysis of a result of the execution by the user of the confirmation action; - a step of triggering of the configuration of the home automation installation, conditional on the result; the method being implemented by the first home automation device (E1a, E1d, E2a, E3a, E4a, E5a) or by the second home automation device (E1b, E1e, E2b, E3b, E4b, E5b) or by a third home automation device (E4c, E5c) in the home automation installation, characterized in that before the proximity detection step, the user has access only to a command human-machine interface, and in that the command and configuration human-machine interfaces (IHM_CFG) are accessible in an exclusive manner, that is to say that when one of the human-machine interfaces is accessible to the user, the other is not. - a step of detection of proximity between - a first home automation device (E1a, E1d, E2a, E3a, E4a, E5a), belonging to the home automation installation, and - a second home automation device (E1b, E1e, E2b, E3b, E4b, E5b), that can be configured or incorporated in the home automation installation; - a first home automation device (E1a, E1d, E2a, E3a, E4a, E5a), belonging to the home automation installation, and - a second home automation device (E1b, E1e, E2b, E3b, E4b, E5b), that can be configured or incorporated in the home automation installation; - a step of determination - of a first identifier of the first home automation device (E1a, E1d, E2a, E3a, E4a, E5a) and/or - of a second identifier of the second home automation device (E1b, E1e, E2b, E3b, E4b, E5b); - of a first identifier of the first home automation device (E1a, E1d, E2a, E3a, E4a, E5a) and/or - of a second identifier of the second home automation device (E1b, E1e, E2b, E3b, E4b, E5b); - a step of obtaining a configuration human-machine interface (IHM_CFG), as a function of the first and/or of the second identifier (ID1, ID2), the configuration human-machine interface (IHM_CFG) comprising at least one prompt to execute a confirmation action by a user and the configuration human-machine interface (IHM_CFG) being obtained automatically, following the step of detection of proximity between the first and second home automation devices (E1a, E1d, E2a, E3a, E4a, E5a; E1b, E1e, E2b, E3b, E4b, E5b); - a step of provision to the user of the configuration human-machine interface (IHM_CFG); - a step of analysis of a result of the execution by the user of the confirmation action; - a step of triggering of the configuration of the home automation installation, conditional on the result;
