The invention describes a method of controlling a device arrangement (D), which method comprises generating at least one electrical signal (10, 11) in a remote control unit (2), converting the generated electrical signal (10, 11) into electromagnetic radiation (EM1, EM2) according to specific polarization parameters, and detecting the electromagnetic radiation (EM1, EM2) with a detecting arrangement (R1, R2). The detecting arrangement (R1, R2) is realized to detect electromagnetic radiation (EM1, EM2) with the specific polarization parameters to obtain an electrical signal (30, 31), which is converted into a device control signal (40, 41) and applied to a device (L1, L2, L3) of the device arrangement (D). The invention further describes a system (1) for controlling a device arrangement (D). The invention also describes a remote control interface module (3) and a remote control unit (2).
