1. A trainable transceiver for controlling a remote device, comprising:

  • a transceiver circuit configured, based on training information, to communicate with the remote device;

    a radio frequency transceiver configured to communicate with a mobile communications device; and

    a control circuit coupled to the transceiver circuit and coupled to the radio frequency transceiver,wherein the control circuit is configured to;

    determine, in response to receiving a user input, whether the trainable transceiver is within communication range of the remote device; and

    send an activation transmission, responsive to a determination that the trainable transceiver is not within communication range of the remote device, to the mobile communications device via the radio frequency transceiver;

    wherein the mobile communications device is configured to control the remote device within a predefined time limit and to delete the activation transmission from the control circuit subsequent to the predefined time limit elapsing; and

    wherein the activation transmission causes the mobile communications device to control the remote device.
