Abstract:
1. A control system comprising: a two-way wireless communication system adapted to communicate between a handheld remote control and an adjustable bed controller; the handheld remote control having a user interface adapted to initiate a transmission of a preset recall command from the handheld remote control to the adjustable bed controller using the two-way wireless communication system to return to a preset recall position; an actuator coupled to the adjustable bed controller, adapted to move to an actuator position upon receiving a control signal from the adjustable bed controller thereby adjusting a position of a bed segment, and adapted to provide its actuator position; the adjustable bed controller adapted to provide the control signal to the actuator to adjust, following receipt of the position recall command, the actuator position to a preset actuator position within a predetermined range of acceptable actuator positions stored in memory to place the bed segment in a position corresponding to the preset recall position, wherein the predetermined range of acceptable actuator positions stored in memory comprises a plurality of actuator positions stored in memory, the stored plurality of actuator positions defining a range of available discrete actuator positions and comprising a plurality of intermediate actuator positions spanning the range of available discrete actuator positions, and the preset actuator position stored in memory is stored as an indication corresponding to one of the available discrete actuator positions in the range, wherein the predetermined range of acceptable actuator positions and the indication are each represented in a table stored in memory; and the adjustable bed controller further adapted to initiate a communication from the adjustable bed controller to the handheld remote control to indicate that the adjustable bed controller has responded to the position recall command.
