A remote in the box
9 listings. The listing names a remote, other than an app used as one.
a learning code remote system
What it is
A handheld remote that ships with the device. Nine listings name one: five fans and four outlet kits.
What it requires
Nothing from the six on this site: no network, no phone, no assistant. What the listings leave out is what powers the remote; none of them names a battery, and the site does not guess one.
The FCC’s rules for radio devices include 47 CFR § 15.231, a section on periodic operation that mentions remote switches among its examples. The site links the rule as published and does not say which rule applies to which kit.

When it is the only way
For every listing on this page the remote is the only control named. A lost remote leaves nothing else in these listings to reach for, and the site does not suggest what might.

Requirements it leans on
None of the requirements this site counts. The listings on this page state none of them for the remote itself.
