A remote control liaison device for use in controlling a remote controlled device via a LAN device includes a processor, a wireless transceiver, a remote control signal emitter, a remote control signal emitter adapter, an infrared signal detector, an indicator signal light, a power interface, and memory media accessible to the processor. The memory media may include instructions executable by the processor to establish a communication channel between the remote control liaison device and the LAN device using the wireless transceiver; convert a remote control command signal received from the LAN device for control of the remote controlled device into a device command executable by the remote controlled device; and send an infrared command signal corresponding to the device command to the remote controlled device using at least one of the remote control signal emitter and a second remote control signal emitter connected to the remote control signal emitter adapter.
