Kaugjuhtimispult, commonly referred to as a remote control, is an electronic device used to operate other electronic devices from a distance. Typically, these devices are used for entertainment systems such as televisions, DVD players, and sound systems, but also extend to home appliances like air conditioners, ceiling fans, and garage doors. The primary function of a remote control is to provide user convenience, eliminating the need to physically interact with the device being controlled.

Remote controls operate by transmitting signals, usually infrared (IR) light or radio waves, to a receiver located on the target device. The receiver decodes these signals and executes the corresponding command, such as changing a channel, adjusting volume, or turning the device on or off. Different buttons on the remote control correspond to unique commands. Early remote controls were wired, but the advent of wireless technology, particularly infrared, revolutionized their usage, allowing for greater freedom of movement. More modern remotes may utilize Bluetooth or Wi-Fi for enhanced functionality and range. The design of remote controls varies widely, often featuring a compact, handheld form factor with numerous buttons.
