remote controls
Couch potato's tools
Remote controls are handheld devices that operate electronics from a distance, typically using infrared signals or radio waves.
The term covers everything from television remotes to garage door openers to drone controllers.
As a verb, to remote control something is to operate it wirelessly: She remote controlled the presentation from across the room.
Figuratively, someone who remote controls a situation manages it from afar without direct involvement.
