Abstract
A remote control device is disclosed and may include a memory, at least one processor, and an illumination device. The at least one processor may enable two-way communication between the remote control device and an appliance. The illumination device may cause an appearance of the remote control device to change as a function of received information. The at least one processor may receive temperature related information associated with the appliance. The illumination device may cause the appearance of the remote control device to change as a function of the received temperature related information. The memory may include a library of commands for commanding functional operations of the appliance. The remote control device may include a user interface operable to cause the at least one processor to transmit one or more of the commands to the appliance. Appearance of the remote control may change when the illumination device changes illumination colors.
