1. A method comprising:

  • a remote control panel device receiving a message indicating control panel failure in a remote control system;

    responsive to the message indicating control panel failure in the remote control system, the remote control panel device transitioning from an inactive mode to an active mode;

    the remote control panel device determining a first communication device in a plurality of communication devices in the remote control system to be a primary communication device to primarily communicate with the remote control panel device;

    the remote control panel device determining a second communication device in the plurality of communication devices in the remote control system to be a secondary communication device to communicate with the remote control panel device when the primary communication device fails; and

    the remote control panel device remotely controlling the remote control system, absent the control panel,wherein the remote control panel device remotely controlling the remote control system includes the remote control panel device communicating with a sensor and an output device through the primary communication device or the secondary communication device in the remote control system, andwherein, when the sensor or the output device detects that the primary communication device has failed, the sensor or the output device initiates communication with the secondary communication device to activate the secondary communication device from a standby mode.
