1. A method for parameterising at least one device, comprising the following steps:
determining at least one environmental value of the at least one device by means of at least one sensor or an automation component, which supplies multiple pieces of secondary data,
checking whether parameters are allocated to the at least one environmental value in the parameter database,
parameterising of the at least one device with parameters from the parameter database, if parameters are allocated to the at least one environmental value in the parameter database,
parameterising of the at least one device with new parameters, if no parameters are allocated to the at least one environmental value in the parameter database, wherein new parameters are then allocated to the at least one environmental value in the parameter database, and the new parameters are stored in the parameter database,
wherein in an initialisation step of the method, the at least one device and at least one sensor or the automation component are each identified via digital identification data, which can be read from a network, and the at least one device is then automatically allocated with a parameter database provided for this type of device, and
wherein several parameter databases are to be provided, depending on what environmental values can be collected by the at least one sensor or automation component and a parameter database is chosen for the installed combination of device and sensor or automation component, in which the parameters provided for this device are associated with environmental values that can actually be measured by the at least one available sensor or the automation component.
