In controlling a line-powered device or appliance remotely, it is known to have a product that provides the user a transmitter and a receiver as a married pair. The transmitter is necessary to send to the receiver a signal that is coded in either software or hardware format. The receiver, upon receiving the transmitted signal, will perform the decoding process. If the received signal is valid, the receiver will respond by switching or performing any variation to the line voltage characteristic that is applied to the appliance. In this invention, the user can control the appliance remotely via an inventive device without the need to supply the user a dedicated transmitter. This device is a receiver that has an intelligent learning capability. The user can utilize any of his/her own home entertainment remote control units with his/her choice of command key to program this device. Once programming is completed, the device will and only will respond to the coded signal transmitted by the same key from the same remote control unit that the device has just learned. Hence, the user can assign different command keys to program multiple devices without any concern of interference or false signal recognition. The concept of having the learning feature built into a device to control line-powered appliances remotely without the need for a dedicated transmitter opens up infinite applications to achieve automation for the household (ie, Remote Switched Outlet, Remote Switched Wall-Switch...) regardless to any types of line voltages in the world (i.e., 110VAC, 220VAC...).
