1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a central controller of an air pump, a first command for articulation of a bed foundation, from a remote control, to adjust articulation via an articulation system having an articulation controller, wherein the air pump is part of the central controller and the articulation controller is not part of the central controller;
relaying, from the central controller of the air pump, the first command to the articulation controller of the articulation system;
receiving at the central controller of the air pump, electronic communication comprising an indication of the success in articulation due to the first command from the articulation controller of the articulation system;
relaying electronic communication comprising the indication from the articulation controller of the articulation system through the central controller of the air pump to the remote control;
articulating, by the articulation controller, to adjust the bed foundation according to the first command.
