Abstract
A wireless hub is configured to receive device identification information for each of a plurality of different devices. The wireless hub is further configured to access a database and obtain command codes for controlling the different devices and to transmit command codes based on the obtained command codes to control the different devices. The wireless hub is configured, in response to detect a gesture using motion detection of a user of the wireless hub, to control presentation of video content by a video display.
