Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To remotely control and determine an electrical device, such as an electrical lamp, for example, without the need to perform wiring of the electrical system of a building again. SOLUTION: An apparatus for controlling at least one electrical device 54 by remote control includes at least one control device 50 coupled to the electrical device 54 by a power line connection, the control device 50 having a switch 58, 59 for adjusting the status of the electrical device 54. The control device 50 also has a radio frequency (RF) transmitter/receiver for adjusting and communicating the status of the electrical device. A master control unit 20 is provided having at least one actuator and status indicator 22. The master unit 20 has a transmitter/receiver for transmitting RF information to control the status of the electrical device and for receiving the status information from the control device 50. The master control unit 20 indicates status of the electrical device 54. A repeater transmitter/receiver 40 is provided for receiving the RF signal from the master unit 20 and transmitting control information to the control device 50 and for receiving the status information.
