A method for configuring a home automation installation comprising at least one home automation device and at least one central control unit, the method being executed by a management unit (Sv) connected to the at least one home automation installation or by the at least one central control unit and comprising the following steps: i. Receiving (ELRSv14, ELRSv26, ERSv1) at least one configuration message (Mcf) from a user terminal and/or from the at least one central control unit; the at least one configuration message concerning at least one access attribute (Attr) of a user (Usr) to at least one home automation device of the installation; ii. Selecting (ELRSv15, ELRSv27, ERSv2) a user profile (UsrP) corresponding to the concerned user (Usr), said user profile (UsrP) being recorded in a user repository (UsrRf); or creating a new user profile (UsrP) corresponding to the concerned user (Usr) in the case of an absence of a user profile in the user repository (UsrRf); iii. Selecting (ELRSv16, ELRSv28, ERSv3) a representative entity of the at least one home automation device, the representative entity being recorded in a representative entity repository (RERf); or creating a new representative entity of the at least one home automation device in the case of an absence of a representative entity in the representative entity repository (RERf); iv. Selecting (ELRSv17, ELRSv29, ERSv4) an association between the at least one user profile (UsrP) and the at least one representative entity in an association repository (ARf) in which the association instances are recorded, and updating the at least one access attribute (Attr); or creating a new association between the at least one user profile (UsrP) and the at least one representative entity, the at least one access attribute (Attr) being assigned to said association. i. Receiving (ELRSv14, ELRSv26, ERSv1) at least one configuration message (Mcf) from a user terminal and/or from the at least one central control unit; the at least one configuration message concerning at least one access attribute (Attr) of a user (Usr) to at least one home automation device of the installation; ii. Selecting (ELRSv15, ELRSv27, ERSv2) a user profile (UsrP) corresponding to the concerned user (Usr), said user profile (UsrP) being recorded in a user repository (UsrRf); or creating a new user profile (UsrP) corresponding to the concerned user (Usr) in the case of an absence of a user profile in the user repository (UsrRf); iii. Selecting (ELRSv16, ELRSv28, ERSv3) a representative entity of the at least one home automation device, the representative entity being recorded in a representative entity repository (RERf); or creating a new representative entity of the at least one home automation device in the case of an absence of a representative entity in the representative entity repository (RERf); iv. Selecting (ELRSv17, ELRSv29, ERSv4) an association between the at least one user profile (UsrP) and the at least one representative entity in an association repository (ARf) in which the association instances are recorded, and updating the at least one access attribute (Attr); or creating a new association between the at least one user profile (UsrP) and the at least one representative entity, the at least one access attribute (Attr) being assigned to said association.
