Abstract
A method operates at least one apparatus that is arranged in a building. The method involves producing a wireless connection between a communication unit of a motor vehicle and the apparatus, transmitting to the apparatus in a wireless manner by the communication unit data that define an operating mode of the apparatus, and operating the apparatus in dependence upon the data that are transmitted to the apparatus. The data are provided and synchronized with one another both by a central data processing device as well as by the communication unit. A control system can be used with the method.
