An installation bus gateway (IBG) 2 for remote controlling devices 14, 16, 18 connected via an installation bus 12 is provided. One purpose of the IBG is to wirelessly export a hypertext user interface to a browser equipped terminal (remote control device) allowing to remotely control the devices connected to said installation bus. Moreover, methods for remote notification and device control over a wide-range communication network by means of messaging (e.g. SMS) are provided. The IBG 2 is electrically and logically connected via an installation bus interface to the installation bus 12. The IGB further comprises a wireless transceiver 4 for communicating with a remote control device 20. Storage means in the IBG 2 are used, e.g., to store a user interface in hypertext format, the settings of devices 14, 16, 18 connected to said installation bus 12 and remote control devices 20 or the aforementioned algorithms necessary to decide if to transmit a notification in terms of e.g. a Short message SM. The IGB 2 comprises processing means 8, which are connected to other elements of the IBG 2. The processing means is used for dynamic content generation, resident applications, and processing the communication protocols used between the installation bus and the IBG.
