Summary:The invention provides a remote control extension system for controlling appliances (60, 70, 80). A remote control (20) is connected by means of a network (30) to an extender device (40). The remote control (20) transmits messages (110, 120) to the extender (40) during the period that a command (14) is to be transmitted from the extender to an appliance. The command is for example a command havinga variable duration, such as Volume UP. The extender (40) receives the messages. It transmits the command as long as it receives the messages from the remote control. It finishes the transmission ofthe command, if an expected message has not been received at a predetermined time. In this way, the duration of a command is limited in case of network disturbances.
