# tell remote control to
Control the presentation of media content available on a remote device using the `tell remote control` to function.
### ~hint
The functions in the ``devices`` namespace allow the @boardname@ 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 @boardname@ apps available for the remote device.
