Abstract
An apparatus including a first device at a vehicle or premises and capable of controlling one or more of a plurality of a system, equipment system, component, device, equipment, and/or appliance. The first device generates and/or transmits a first signal for controlling the system, equipment system, component, device, equipment, and/or appliance. The first device generates and/or transmits the first signal in response to a second signal generated by and/or transmitted from a second device located remote from the vehicle or premises. The second device generates and/or transmits the second signal in response to a third signal generated by and/or transmitted from a third device located remote from the vehicle or premises and the second device. The third signal is transmitted on or over the Internet and/or the World Wide Web.
