Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1544827A2] A non-contact communication path, preferably an IR link, is used to transfer the necessary programming data from a household centralized controller (17) to a remote control unit (12). The link operates when the remote unit is placed in a holder (19) on the central controller, a simultaneous connection to a battery charging device (20) being established also. The central controller communicates with the individual household appliances by a combination of cable (27) and radio (28, 29) links. An independent claim is also included for a method for configuring and updating a programmable remote control for household appliances.
