Abstract: A load control system may include devices for performing communications for controlling an amount of power provided to an electrical load. The devices may include load control devices that may communicate by transmitting digital messages. A user device having an adjustable wireless communication range may be used for discovering devices, configuring devices, and/or diagnosing devices in the load control system. The user device may detect whether devices are within an established wireless communication range of one another for performing communications. The user device may detect digital messages transmitted from a device and/or digital messages received at a device to determine whether the digital messages are correctly communicated in the load control system. The user device may provide an indication to a user indicating whether a digital message is correctly transmitted or received by a device in the load control system.

Abstract: According to one configuration, a remote controller device wirelessly controls a remote media system. The remote controller device includes multiple selectable control buttons, multiple optical sources, and controller hardware. Each optical source individually back-illuminates a respective selectable control button of the multiple selectable buttons. The controller hardware selectively activates different groupings of the multiple optical sources depending upon a current operational mode of the remote media system. For example, a respective user of the remote controller device selects a particular button of the remote controller device corresponding to the first operational mode. The remote controller device, in turn, transmits a wireless signal to the remote media system to control the remote media system to the first operational mode. Rather than illuminating all buttons, the remote controller device then back-illuminates only a relevant group of multiple selectable control buttons applicable to the first operational mode.

Abstract: A control method is used in a remote control system including apparatuses and an information terminal that controls the apparatus(es) via a network. The control method includes: determining whether or not communication currently performed by the information terminal via the network is secure; displaying, for each apparatus, an icon for displaying control menus of a corresponding apparatus on a user interface region of a display unit in the information terminal in a display mode determined according to the determined security; displaying, on the user interface region, the control menus for controlling the corresponding apparatus, if the icon is selected; generating a control signal for causing the corresponding apparatus to perform an operation according to control corresponding to a first control menu, if the first control menu s selected from the displayed control menus; and transmitting the control signal to the corresponding apparatus via the network.

Abstract: Remote control device and method for controlling interactions between the remote control device and a controlled appliance. The remote control device comprises a BLE interface and a battery for powering the BLE interface. Upon determination of a first condition being met, the remote control device sets the BLE interface in a standby mode where the power supplied by the battery to the BLE interface is limited to a minimal value. Upon determination of a second condition being met, the remote control device transmits one or more BLE advertising signal via the BLE interface. The remote control device receives a connection request from a controlled appliance via the BLE interface, establishes a connection between the remote control device and the controlled appliance through the BLE interface, and exchanges data with the controlled appliance via the BLE communication interface (e.g. transmission of a command for an actuator of the controlled appliance).

Abstract: Techniques for suggesting accessory devices controlled by an application executing on a mobile device are disclosed. A method includes measuring one or more sensor values to determine a data point at each of a plurality of first times, associating an accessory device with each of the data points, clustering the data points within a threshold distance of each other to create a plurality of clusters. The method also includes, after clustering the data points, measuring one or more sensor values to determine one or more current data points at a second time, determining that one or more current data points at the second time corresponds to a first cluster of the plurality of clusters, identifying a first accessory device associated with one or more of the data points in the first cluster, and providing a message using the application.
