A hot-water supply system () remotely controls, via a server () and using a portable terminal device (), a hot-water supply device () connectable to an external communication network (). The hot-water supply system () is provided with a control unit which performs a notification process for notifying at least another, already-associated portable terminal device () that the portable terminal device () for performing remote control has been newly associated with the hot-water supply device (). For example, a control unit of the server () performs the notification process as the control unit.

Hot-water supply system and program

An input device includes a tracking target section having an outer surface on which a plurality of light emitting sections are provided; a housing constituting the outer surface of the tracking target section; a first substrate which is a rigid substrate disposed inside the housing; at least one light source mounted on a first surface of the first substrate; and a first light guide member that guides light from the at least one light source to positions of the plurality of light emitting sections on the outer surface of the housing.
