label: Description (Brief)
content: Controlling equipment from a distance has been a key feature of electrical and electronic devices since Joseph Henry’s remotely operated bell in 1832. Wireless remote controls for television were developed in the late 1950s and over the following decades these devices have become ubiquitous, allowing users to remotely operate audio equipment, lights, window shades, and myriad devices. Remote controls demonstrate a wide range of user interfaces, and are becoming automated as the “Internet of Things.” This unit includes a unique slide switch on the side that allows the user to select device types.
