White remote controls connect to compatible wireless lighting and automation systems by sending commands over a radio frequency (RF) connection to a repeater or receiving device. Battery operation allows many models to add control without new power or communication wiring, while setup and compatibility depend on the system and devices being controlled.

White remote controls can be mounted on hard surfaces such as drywall or glass, or installed in a wallplate opening for a built-in control point. They can also be used as handheld or tabletop controls, or clipped to a vehicle visor, in residential and commercial spaces where convenient access to lighting, shades, or audio is needed.

White remote controls for dimming adjust light levels, scene-selection remotes activate preset lighting or shade settings, shade remotes raise, lower, open, or close window treatments, and audio remotes adjust volume or recall a favorite setting. These battery-operated wireless controls can provide convenient handheld, tabletop, visor-mounted, or wall-mounted access without adding power or communication wiring.

White remote controls in this assortment are battery-operated, require no external power or communication wiring, and include a battery designed to last up to ten years. Wireless range can reach up to 30 m (100 ft) with line of sight or up to 9 m (30 ft) through walls, though construction materials and other obstructions may affect performance.
