1. A remote control, comprising:
- circuitry configured to;
send a control signal for controlling a device via wireless communication; and
transmit a device detection request to the device via wireless communication;
receive a response from the device based on the transmitted device detection request, the response received from the device including measurement information associated with the device;
identify an installation location of the device as a zone in an event that a difference between a value of the measurement information included in the response received from the device and an average value of measurement information of one or more devices in the zone is equal to or below a reference value;
register a device identifier corresponding to the device in association with an identifier of the zone in a zone correlation table;
transmit a request for device information to the device;
receive a response from the device including at least a device type identifier;
determine a command set identifier corresponding to one of a plurality of command sets based on the device type identifier; and
register the device identifier of the device in association with the command set identifier in a command set identification table.

10. A remote control method, comprising:
-
transmitting, with circuitry of a remote control, a device detection request to a device via wireless communication, the circuitry further sending a control signal for controlling the device via wireless communication; receiving, with the circuitry of the remote control, a response from the device based on the transmitted device detection request, the response received from the device including measurement information associated with the device; identifying, with the circuitry of the remote control, an installation location of the device as a zone in an event that a difference between a value of the measurement information included in the response received from the device and an average value of measurement information of one or more devices in the zone is equal to or below a reference value; registering, with the circuitry, a device identifier corresponding to the device in association with an identifier of the zone in a zone correlation table; transmitting, with the circuitry, a request for device information to the device; receiving, with the circuitry, a response from the device including at least a device type identifier; determining, with the circuitry, a command set identifier corresponding to one of a plurality of command sets based on the device type identifier; and registering, with the circuitry, the device identifier of the device in association with the command set identifier in a command set identification table.
