Method and system for controlling a function by using a variable sensitivity receiver

The method (300) for controlling a function using a receiver (104) with variable sensitivity, the method comprising the steps of: Receiving (302) a radio control signal segment (110) from a remote transmitter (102) using the receiver (104) having variable sensitivity, wherein the wireless control signal segment (110) comprises at least one request for the function and / or a sub-requirement for the function, Decoding (304) of the wireless control signal segment (110) using a control device (202) is in electronic communication with the receiver (104) with variable speed, when the decoding (304) is successful: - performing a damping step (308), wherein the damping step comprises damping of the sensitivity of the receiver (104) with variable speed by a predetermined attenuation amount, - generating a count (310) for tracking the amount of attenuation carried out, - as long as the count is less than a predetermined value, and decoding (304) is successful: repeatedly receiving (302) and decoding a radio control signal segment (110) and incrementing ...
