1. A device, comprising:

  • a housing having a shape corresponding to a battery form factor;

    a battery section detachably coupled to the housing, the battery section containing a power source; and

    an electronic section integrally formed with the housing and containing electronic circuitry that draws power from the detachably coupled battery section, wherein the electronic circuitry is operable to;

    measure current drain from the power source by an Infra Red (IR) device, and responsive to measuring the current drain, generate a voltage signal having an amplitude that varies proportionally in response to the measured current drain;

    generate a Radio Frequency (RF) signal in response to the generated voltage; and

    transmit the generated RF signal to a base station for controlling a remote device.
