Abstract
A control apparatus and method which includes a first control device. The first control device is located remote from at least one of a vehicle and premises. The first control device transmits a first signal to a second control device which is located at a location which is remote from said first control device and remote from the at least one of vehicle and premises. The second control device generates a second signal in response to said first signal. The second control device transmits said second signal to a third control device, wherein the third control device is located at the at least one of vehicle and premises. The third control device generates a third signal in response to the second signal. The third signal at least one of activates, deactivates, enables, and disables, at least one of a vehicle, a premises, a vehicle at least one of system, equipment system, subsystem, device, component and appliance, and a premises at least one of system, equipment system, subsystem, device, component and appliance.
