Disability Access to Home Appliances

An Environment Control Unit (ECU) is a specially designed remote control.  A wide range of electrical devices including lights, telephones, computers, air conditioning, electric beds, televisions, DVDs etc can be operated 'out of the box'. Many other devices can be controlled with a small amount of additional equipment. The user of an ECU controls the system by operating a switch matched to their physical ability. Speech recognition and other input methods are also available.
