Abstract
A system in which a portable electronic device communicates with a keypad including a near field communication (NFC) tag in order to establish remote control of a controllable residential device over a home automation network. Upon placing the portable electronic device near the keypad, a control application running on the portable electronic device is launched and a graphical representation of the keypad is displayed on the portable electronic device. The portable electronic device then provides remote control of the controllable residential device over the home automation network. The portable electronic device may additionally provide expanded control options for the controllable residential device.
