Method for selecting at least one first slave unit, preferably a first domestic appliance, within a predetermined spatial proximity to a master unit, preferably to a voice control unit, at least the first slave unit, preferably the first domestic appliance, a second slave unit, preferably a second domestic appliance, and the master unit each being configured to implement a wireless communication link (A; B) between the slave unit (1, 2) and the master unit, comprising at least the steps of: transmitting a signal from the first slave unit and from the second slave unit via a particular wireless communication link directly to the master unit, receiving the signal from the first slave unit by means of the master unit, and selecting the first slave unit from the slave units (1, 2) by means of the master unit, the transmission of the signal being carried out by means of the slave units (1, 2) in each case at a predetermined maximum signal power, which is designed such that the transmitted signal can be received by the master unit only if the transmitting slave unit (1, 2) is within the predetermined spatial proximity to the master unit; all steps being carried out according to a WLAN standard, characterised by the additional steps of: prompting the first slave unit and the second slave unit by means of the master unit to transmit the signal at the predetermined maximum signal power; creating a soft access point by means of the first slave unit and by means of the second slave unit at the predetermined maximum signal power prior to the step of transmitting the signal; logging out, by the first slave unit and by the second slave unit, from a network prior to the step of creating the soft access point; stopping the particular soft access point by means of the first slave unit and by means of the second slave unit, after a predetermined period of time has elapsed or when prompted by the master unit, after the step of transmitting the signal; and renewed automatic login of the first slave unit and of the second slave unit into a network after the step of stopping the particular soft access point. transmitting a signal from the first slave unit and from the second slave unit via a particular wireless communication link directly to the master unit, receiving the signal from the first slave unit by means of the master unit, and selecting the first slave unit from the slave units (1, 2) by means of the master unit, the transmission of the signal being carried out by means of the slave units (1, 2) in each case at a predetermined maximum signal power, which is designed such that the transmitted signal can be received by the master unit only if the transmitting slave unit (1, 2) is within the predetermined spatial proximity to the master unit; all steps being carried out according to a WLAN standard, characterised by the additional steps of: prompting the first slave unit and the second slave unit by means of the master unit to transmit the signal at the predetermined maximum signal power; creating a soft access point by means of the first slave unit and by means of the second slave unit at the predetermined maximum signal power prior to the step of transmitting the signal; logging out, by the first slave unit and by the second slave unit, from a network prior to the step of creating the soft access point; stopping the particular soft access point by means of the first slave unit and by means of the second slave unit, after a predetermined period of time has elapsed or when prompted by the master unit, after the step of transmitting the signal; and renewed automatic login of the first slave unit and of the second slave unit into a network after the step of stopping the particular soft access point. prompting the first slave unit and the second slave unit by means of the master unit to transmit the signal at the predetermined maximum signal power; creating a soft access point by means of the first slave unit and by means of the second slave unit at the predetermined maximum signal power prior to the step of transmitting the signal; logging out, by the first slave unit and by the second slave unit, from a network prior to the step of creating the soft access point; stopping the particular soft access point by means of the first slave unit and by means of the second slave unit, after a predetermined period of time has elapsed or when prompted by the master unit, after the step of transmitting the signal; and renewed automatic login of the first slave unit and of the second slave unit into a network after the step of stopping the particular soft access point.
