Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a remote controller for controlling at least one device (3 to 13), comprising a transceiver (20 to 26, 30), by means of a remote controller (1). Said remote controller (1) comprises a transceiver (40), whereby information is transmitted from the transceiver (20 to 26, 30) of the at least one device (3 to 13), to the transceiver of the remote controller (1), in order to identify the at least one device (3 to 13).
