A method for configuring a home automation system (Su) comprising at least one home automation device (D1, D2) and at least one central control unit, the at least one home automation device (D1, D2) being capable of communicating with the at least one central control unit through at least one first protocol, the method being executed by a management unit (Sv) connected remotely to a home automation system (Su) through an extended network and capable of communicating with the at least one central control unit; the method comprising the following steps: - receiving (EcfSv3, EcfSv4, ECfSv2'), from the at least one central control unit or from a user (Usr/T), at least one configuration message (MCfD1, MCfD2, MCfUsr) relating to at least one home automation device (D1, D2) and to at least one definition of a function (P1F1D1, P1F2D1, P1F1D2, P1F2D2) or of a group of functions of the at least one home automation device (D1, D2) according to said first communication protocol; - Obtaining (EcfSv5) a location identifier (P2AD1, P2AD2) of the at least one home automation device (D1, D2) according to a second target communication protocol; - Recording (ECfSv7) the correspondence between the location identifier (P2AD1, P2AD2) of the at least one home automation device (D1, D2) according to the second communication protocol and of at least one identification element (DURL) contained in the configuration message or determinable upon receipt of the configuration message the content or combination of which allows a unique identification of a home automation device; - Recording (EcfSv8) at least one definition of a function (P1F1D1, P1 F2D1, P1 F1 D2, P1 F2D2) or of a group of functions of at least one home automation device (D1, D2) according to said first communication protocol relating to the at least one configuration message (MCfD1, MCfD2, MCfUsr) received from the at least one central control unit or from a user (Usr/T) and from a function conversion rule arranged to convert the definition of the at least one function (P1F1D1, P1F2D1, P1F1D2, P1F2D2) or of a group of functions of the at least one home automation device (D1, D2) according to the first protocol into at least one definition of a function (P2F1D1, P2F2D1, P2F1D2, P2F2D2) or of a group of functions of the at least one home automation device (D1, D2) according to the second target communication protocol. - receiving (EcfSv3, EcfSv4, ECfSv2'), from the at least one central control unit or from a user (Usr/T), at least one configuration message (MCfD1, MCfD2, MCfUsr) relating to at least one home automation device (D1, D2) and to at least one definition of a function (P1F1D1, P1F2D1, P1F1D2, P1F2D2) or of a group of functions of the at least one home automation device (D1, D2) according to said first communication protocol; - Obtaining (EcfSv5) a location identifier (P2AD1, P2AD2) of the at least one home automation device (D1, D2) according to a second target communication protocol; - Recording (ECfSv7) the correspondence between the location identifier (P2AD1, P2AD2) of the at least one home automation device (D1, D2) according to the second communication protocol and of at least one identification element (DURL) contained in the configuration message or determinable upon receipt of the configuration message the content or combination of which allows a unique identification of a home automation device; - Recording (EcfSv8) at least one definition of a function (P1F1D1, P1 F2D1, P1 F1 D2, P1 F2D2) or of a group of functions of at least one home automation device (D1, D2) according to said first communication protocol relating to the at least one configuration message (MCfD1, MCfD2, MCfUsr) received from the at least one central control unit or from a user (Usr/T) and from a function conversion rule arranged to convert the definition of the at least one function (P1F1D1, P1F2D1, P1F1D2, P1F2D2) or of a group of functions of the at least one home automation device (D1, D2) according to the first protocol into at least one definition of a function (P2F1D1, P2F2D1, P2F1D2, P2F2D2) or of a group of functions of the at least one home automation device (D1, D2) according to the second target communication protocol.
