Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of control of at least one electronic appliance with the aid of a distant device such as a remote control.

The method comprises the following steps: activation of the device in a first mode where the means of control preferentially command the appliance selected by the means of selection, programming of at least one association between a means of control and an appliance, and activation of the associations so that the activation of a means of control commands the appliance associated during the programming step.
