# tell remote control to
The tell remote control to function. #docs #antenna #ble
Control the presentation of media content available on a remote device using the `tell remote control` to function.
##
The functions in the ``devices`` namespace allow the BBC micro:bit to communicate with a separate (remote) device, such as a smartphone, over Bluetooth (Smart).
The set of supported events will depend on the remote device and the BBC micro:bit apps available for the remote device.
