AloneControls is a term used in discussions of human–computer interaction and control systems to describe interfaces and hardware designed to enable a single operator to monitor and manipulate multiple devices or subsystems from a centralized control point. It is not the name of a specific product or company, but a conceptual label that appears in literature and product literature to discuss centralized control for solitary operation.

Core ideas include a central control hub (physical panel, software dashboard, or mobile app), input consolidation across devices, configurable mappings, and clear feedback. Accessibility options such as voice control, switch control, or eye-tracking may be integrated to accommodate users with limited mobility.

Typical applications include smart home dashboards that control lighting, climate, and security; industrial or field service contexts where a single operator manages several machines; and assistive technology designed to enable independent operation for people with disabilities.

Design and evaluation focus on minimizing cognitive load, reducing latency, ensuring reliability and security, and supporting a consistent mental model for users.

Because AloneControls is a descriptive label rather than a registered product line, references vary, and it may appear in different contexts with different implementations.
