Abstract
An electrical home appliance (14) such as a dishwasher, a clothes dryer, a washing machine, a lighting arrangement, a heating system control or the like, which, via an interface arranged on or in the home appliance, can be connected to a bus system supplied to several home appliances and controlled by a single central control computer (17), with the interface being connected to a bus connection module for transmitting control commands and/or sensor signals between the bus system and the home appliance (14). The home appliance (14) additionally is provided with a plug-in position (18) for the detachable plugging in of the control computer (17). A contact configuration (19) establishing the connection between the plugged-in control computer (17) and the interface is arranged at the plug-in position (18). A great flexibility is accomplished since the control computer (17) can also be plugged in at the plug-in positions of other home appliances connected to the bus system. By changing the plug-in location of the control computer (17), the entire system can be controlled from different points. The control computer does not require a special location but is integrated into one of the home appliances when it is plugged in.
