ABSTRACT:
A device for controlling a controlled device includes a remote control unit having a transmitter, a processor, a clock connected to the processor, and a control keypad. The remote control unit is removably engageable in a support, and when the remote control unit is in a first position relative to the support, manipulation of the keypad results in sending programming commands to the processor such that the processor can transmit control signals to the controlled device at user-defined times. On the other hand, when the remote control unit is not in the first position relative to the support, manipulation of the keypad causes the transmitter to send commands to the controlled device. Alternatively, when the remote control unit is in the first position relative to the support, the keypad is disabled, such that commands may be sent to the controlled device from the device only automatically at preprogrammed times. When the remote is removed from the support, automatic transmission of preprogrammed commands from the processor can be disabled, such that the only way to remotely control the controlled device using the device is to manipulate the keypad.
