Systems and methods are disclosed for using a single remote control to control a particular device among several devices by aiming the remote control at the device to identify the device to be controlled. Once the device is identified, the remote control is then configured to send remote control commands to communicate with the identified device when the buttons or other user interface elements on the remote control are selected.
