<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a remote control device of hot-water supply apparatus, in which the usability, safety, and maintainability are improved not only in controlling the hot-water supply apparatus, but also in exchanging various information pertaining to a user and the outside world. SOLUTION: The remote control device of a hot water supply apparatus is provided with a switching part 1 for user to input, and an indicator 2 for indicating information, an interface part 3 for issuing/receiving signals to/from T-NCU 4 for controlling connection to a telephone circuit or a cellular phone, and a controller 5 for controlling the operation of the apparatus in its entirety. The controller 5 controls remotely the hot-water supply apparatus (not shown) in response to the contents input by the user with the switch 1. The controller 5 is provided with various functional modes conducted by issuing/receiving information to/from outside communication circuits through a telephone or a radio communication circuit of cellular phone. The controller has, for instance, a mode for automatic hot-water-pouring into a bathtub conducted by receiving commands through a cellular phone, and a mode for emergent communication to make an urgent information about user's bad conditions to a hospital.</p> |
