Abstract

A system and methods for controlling adjustable furniture (60). The adjustable furniture (60) may be controlled by a control unit (34) in communication with a remote controller (40). A user may input commands to the remote controller (40) through a manual input device (42) or a microphone (43). The control unit (34) may be operable to adjust at least one actuable device element (28a-d, 32a-d, 52a, 52b) in response to the commands. The adjustments of actuable device elements (28a-d, 32a-d, 52a, 52b) may be measured by a sensor (58) that generates a sensor signal operable to be analyzed by the control unit (34) to determine an execution status of the command. The execution status may be indicated on the remote controller (40) by a speaker (44) or a display (45). The control unit (34) may also be operable to send signals for the remote controller (40) to make a noise.
