A system comprising:

• a first remote device located at a first location;
• a first transceiver unit coupled to the first remote device, wherein the first transceiver unit controls a first local network, wherein the first remote device is located within range of the first local network;
• a smart device located at a second location;
• a second transceiver unit wirelessly coupled to the smart device, wherein the second transceiver unit controls a second local network, wherein the second transceiver unit is within range of the second local network, wherein the second local network avoids overlap with the first local network;
• and
• a bridge network formed by the first transceiver unit and the second transceiver unit, wherein the bridge network wirelessly joins the first local network and the second local network,
• wherein the smart device controls the first remote device using the second local network, the bridge network, and the first local network.
