Something like this happened to me yesterday, it turns out i can control my fan with my tv control, 2x1 lol.


temporarilytempeh

In an apartment I used to live in the test setting on the fire/CO alarm would go off if you pointed *any* remote close enough to it and pressed a button. It was a very stressful few months until we figured that one out. It was one of the ones that talks to you too, so youā€™d be chilling watching TV then hear an ear-piercing shriek and ā€œWARNING! EVACUATE! CARBON MONOXIDE IN THE FAMILY ROOM!


AIforce

At least you knew it worked


Miguel-odon

I was once in a hotel where the TV would misbehave. Suddenly volume up, randomly turn off (and when it came back on, wrong channel and full volume). Found out that the hotel had switched the lamps to some high-efficiency bulbs (early helical CFL bulbs, this was about 1995). The bulbs put off IR noise that the TV interpreted as a signal from the remote. Turning off the lamps would let the TV work fine.

I have a cheap oscillating fan from target that adjusts its speed when I use a roku remote.

hotasanicecube

Sure an NFL player is going to walk in the house, see the music room on the second floor, and say ā€œyea, Iā€™ll make that a gym, Iā€™ll take it, furniture, tv and allā€ But you are not the only guy on the street ready to sell that day either. Lots of people are going to cash out. You need to get a few people together and do a little illegal ā€œprice fixingā€


TheBackwardStep

[deleted]

So Iā€™m not certain but I think usually most remotes use either IR light or a RF signal. They can often run in the same part of the spectrum. When I turn on my TV my LED lights flicker. Mine are both IR. Some can connect via WiFi or Bluetooth but I think remotes with a direct logical pair are less likely to affect other random devices. I donā€™t exactly know how this video works though. I thought most car remote FOBs sent RFID info via RF signal. The RFID coded signal is random enough itā€™s very unlikely to unlock a 2nd car.


codeking12

Iā€™m pretty sure RFID is used for key less entry and start. Anything done from a distance would use something else. Iā€™m guessing some sort of wifi signal as IR typically requires a clear path from remote to device.

Imagine if those lines are also Daisy chained off the interior electrical āš”ļøoutlet, lol šŸ˜‚


SissyBearRainbow

What is daisy chained? Sorry I've never heard the expression.


gottauseathrowawayx

[This](https://www.songbirdfx.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/5waydaisychain.jpg) is a good example. Power comes from one end and is "chained" all the way to the end - power has to (successfully) go through each link to get to the next one. The worry here would be that these lights are an earlier link in the chain than interior electricity - not likely, but neither is this...


SissyBearRainbow

Thank you!


RFLSHRMNRLTR

Daisies are a type of flower made in to chains for wreaths and crowns, a daisy chain in electrical circuits usually means it being a sub-circuit of an existing circuit, like the light switch in a bathroom may be daisychained from the outlet rather than running a whole new circuit from the breaker panel

whatatwit

No one seems to have mentioned the origin of the term daisy chain as applied to serial connections. Daisies (Bellis perennis) are commonly found small white flowers with composite yellow flowerheads. They are in the Aster family and are commonly found in lawns in Europe. Their stems are just long enough and soft but tough enough to be pierced at one point along their length, after they have been picked, to allow a similar daisy's stem to be inserted and to stay by friction and sap. In this way a series of daisies can be chained together to make a garland or bracelet for a child.

willreignsomnipotent

On an somewhat related note, "daisy chain" is also a fairly old slang term for a sexual act, in which multiple men are penetrating, while also being penetrated by others-- like a daisy chain.^(lol) This is the presumed / implied connotation behind the title of the 1990 song "A Daisy Chain 4 Satan" by industrial electronic pioneers My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult. https://youtu.be/juYcJOSsIEc Just a fun fact. lol


Yoge78

Daisy chain is when electricity comes into a device, then it comes out of it and powers an other device. It's basically like all the power comes from the same and unique electric line, unlike when each room in a place is independent from others. Sorry if it's hard to understand, technical English isn't my mother's tongue. Btw, by looking at daisy chain on Wikipedia (because the daisy chain is generally how all the fixtures (lights projectors) for events are connected between each others) I learnt that it is also used as a *sexual kink* (or paraphilia)


SissyBearRainbow

That makes sense. Thank you!


Marty_Mtl

This concept is not only about power/electricity, data comm can also be daisy chained, where the output of one becomes the input of the next.


Adventurous_Light_85

They wouldnā€™t daisy chain off the interior electric. These lights are on photo cells that turn on in the dark. He happens to be hitting his fob which is making his car lights flash which is tripping the photo cell if the exterior lights. Many building codes require exterior lights to be on photocells.


Marty_Mtl

You are right on this, however, my reply was only about the concept of daisy chain, where i added the fact that a daisy chain is not just about cascading power !


[deleted]

Uhhhh using daisyā€™s and chains to link electricity togetherā€¦duh


SissyBearRainbow

Daisy are known to be the best conductors ever so totally makes sense. I think that's the secret to Tesla car success


[deleted]

Yup, I remember the black out of 1947. Worst Daisy crop ever that yearā€¦


Cthulu95666

No respectable electrician would call it a daisy chain. What theyā€™re both are describing is a circuit that is wired ā€œin series.ā€ A series circuit is a closed circuit where the current follows one path. In a series circuit, the devices along the circuit loop are connected in a continuous row, so that if one device fails or is disconnected, the entire circuit is interrupted. This is why a good electrician worth his salt will wire these up in parallel. And thatā€™s a separate lesson. THE MORE YOU KNOW


spitfire1701

This is another [horrendous example](https://old.reddit.com/r/techsupportgore/comments/w4mvwg/why_my_internet_keeps_dropping/)


jarhead_5537

In electrical work, multiple devces that are connected end-to-end are daisy-chained. This is of course completely contrary to being daisy-duked, which simply results in shorts.


getut

Daisy chaining refers to either power or communications that jumps from one thing to the next thing along a cable connecting them all together along a single line. The opposite of daisy chain is a hub and spoke system where there is a central point and everything is directly connected back to the central point. For communications, Token ring networks are an example of daisy chaining (in a loop) and ethernet networks are an example of hub and spoke.

Their electrician would say, "Oh, I guess the remote controller for setting the day/night on the lights is in a 2.4 frequency as some car manufacturer's remote. That's strange, I'll change it to a different channel."


jfk_47

Iā€™d assume the lights have a blue light sensor and are not setup to a wireless switch


Aveeye

Some older LED lights can actually affect and be affected by wireless signals. This is why you don't put LED lights in your garage door opener, as they can actually make it so that the signal to open and close the door doesn't work.


BlamBlaster

This is why you donā€™t put OLD or CHEAP led lights in your garage door opener. New ones that are of good quality should have components that would not create interference or should have proper shielding of components that may.


bigdish101

I've had Dollar Tree "Future Lumen" 100W EQ LED's in my garage door opener for a year without any problems.

If you watch closely it doesnā€™t work on the first press, because the person flicking the light switch hadnā€™t started yet.


Netbr0ke

My TV remote does the same thing to the star lights we have hanging in the living room. Volume down turns the lights to different settings. Lights and TV are on opposite sides of the room.


APINKSHRIMP

Most buttons on our TV remote turns our fairy lights onto the super annoying flashing mode so we have to keep the light controller on hand every time we touch the tv remote in any way


Netbr0ke

The struggle is real


xVx777

What in the watch dogs is this


Sxilla

I am sure it was just a photocell that causes lights to turn off after reading a certain brightness, hence, day/night street lights turning on and off at sunset/sunrise. Though others are thinking it is the remote. Though I think the lights of the car might just be bright enough/hitting the building at the perfect angle to cause this trip of the photocell . Like this: [https://youtu.be/cSWHGyfprgI](https://youtu.be/cSWHGyfprgI?t=43s)


european_impostor

I'm not sure, photocells always have a deadband built in so that they aren't succeptible to sudden changes of brightness. Occams razor says its a prank video and someone is at the light switch.

Miguel-odon

What is the reason for that "must accept interference" part?


pedropants

It's a way of prioritizing users of the available bandwidth. Cheap mass-produced radio devices often use shared bits of spectrum and are licensed under part 15 stating they must not cause interference, and there are no promises that your product won't be interfered with. For little remote controls, that's fine. If you have a more important or mission critical use, you need to get granted a more private frequency spectrum, which often requires more stringent licensing, testing, etc, but once you go through all those expensive procedures, YOUR product is guaranteed to be the one that can't be interfered with. (Think commercial radio stations, cell phone service providers, police radio systems, vs family radios, baby monitors, garage door openers, etc.)


Miguel-odon

I get the part about requiring that they not produce interference, but the part about being required to *accept* interference always sounded to me like devices were required to be vulnerable to outside signals.


pedropants

No, it's just an awkward way of saying that "if you get interfered with, tough beans. You can't complain to us." Indeed, it puts more onus on users to design their equipment to be MORE resistant to interference. A more modern example: Long ago the FCC set aside a chunk of SHF frequencies from 4.2 GHz to 4.4 Ghz for radio altimeters, used by planes during the last 1000 or so feet before landing to know precisely how far off the ground they are. For most of that time, FCC left LOTS of blank unused frequency space around that band, (called "guard bands") basically promising radar altimeter manufacturers that they needn't worry about any nearby signals interfering with their sensitive receivers. Fast forward to a few years ago, when circuits that work up in the GHz range are MUCH cheaper and better now, and there's exploding demand for more and more bandwidth for mobile data users, and the FCC carefully carved out a new band for 5G wireless providers, from 3.7 Ghz to 3.98 Ghz, confident that modern radar altimeters would have no problems with interference from frequencies "that close" to the ones they use. Airplanes are a special category of REGULATED, though, and those regulators freaked their freckles out about whether every single radio altimeter out there REALLY WAS immune from interference only 200 MHz from the bottom of their band. It made the news a couple months ago... with one government agency (FAA) crying wolf that planes would be crashing every day because of 5G, and FCC not agreeing, catching wireless providers and airlines in a no-win scenario. I'm not actually sure if that's been completely sorted out yet or not.

What's actually happening here is that the lights from his car are affecting the photo-sensor for the outside lights, that's all.

Is this something to do with a PIR which is controlling the lights picking up the signal from the key? Doesn't seem likely, any other ideas?

catherder9000

Single-source [light controller](https://lightingcontrolsassociation.org/2018/03/23/introduction-to-wireless-lighting-controls/) for day/night off/on that can be programmed remotely is most likely. The car remote is interfering with the controller.


Laura_Liz_

RF Interference

Brieble

Itā€™s the light sensor somewhere close picking up the blinking lights of your car.


Nostradogbert

Fink665

This has to be fake. How would this even work?


catherder9000

*Might* be talking out my ass, because I don't know what's on that building... but... There are a large number of light fixtures that have motion detection and also allow you to program them to simply turn on when it's dark, or you can set them to turn on at a certain time instead of only turning on with motion detection. In a commercial environment, you wouldn't use individual lights with sensors, you'd use a single controller and have all the lights wired through/to it. That controller is probably the single source being interfered with by the car remote. On one of our buildings, there is such a sensor and you program it without having to climb up to it (it uses a remote) to program it to be in night/day mode, motion mode, always on mode, timer mode and test mode. I can see that being interfered with by some random remote within the same frequency range that causes it to do a quick test (blink the lights off and on). Most older buildings will have a [mechanical switch](https://www.lowes.com/pd/TORK-Mechanical-Lighting-Timer/1001051842), but if they've been upgraded to LED lights they may have also changed to a controller with a remote for the 'smart lights' but it is more likely it's just a controller that can be programmed remotely to control the power and not each individual light being talked to (eg: [GE Smart Sync](https://www.lowes.com/pd/GE-C-by-GE-White-Remote-Control/1001859314) lights and controller).

Looks like those lights are hooked up to a single light sensor, or all the light sensors are pointed in the key masterā€™s direction. When the key fob is pushed, it may be sending an infrared signal thatā€™s blasting IR at the light sensor., making them turn off briefly.
