Abstract
A method for controlling a plurality of domestic appliances with the aid of a portable operating apparatus which wirelessly communicates with the domestic appliances includes transmitting a control signal from the portable operating apparatus to the domestic appliances and using the control signal to jointly change over the domestic appliances between an at-home mode, in which first settings are made in the domestic appliances, and a not-at-home mode, in which second settings are made in the domestic appliances. The portable operating apparatus receives an operator input which is carried out by a user using an input device of the portable operating apparatus, and the control signal for changing over the domestic appliances is emitted by the portable operating apparatus on the basis of the operator input.
