Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus and computer-readable medium for controlling battery-powered devices are provided. In some embodiments, a control device can include radio frequency (RF) circuitry and be configured to: receive one or more RF signals from a controller; and control one or more operations of a battery-powered device located proximate to the control device based, at least, on the one or more RF signals. The one or more operations can include de-activating an operation of the battery-powered device, activating an operation of the battery-powered device or the like. In various embodiments, a system can include a control device that controls a battery-powered device and a controller that is communicatively coupled to the Internet and configured to output information associated with the state of the battery-powered device to social media networking sites.
