1. A method, comprising: receiving, by an electronic device, a query specifying a network address associated with a remote control;retrieving, by the electronic device, a category associated with the electronic device;querying, by the electronic device, an electronic database for the category associated with the electronic device, the electronic database electronically associating response intervals of time and categories of electronic devices including the category associated with the electronic device;identifying, by the electronic device, a response interval of time of the response intervals of time in the electronic database that is electronically associated with the category associated with the electronic device;determining, by the electronic device, a response to the query; andsending, by the electronic device, the response within the response interval of time that is electronically associated with the category. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining the response based on the category. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining a random response interval of time. 4. The method of claim 3, further comprising comparing the response interval of time to the random response interval of time. 5. The method of claim 4, further comprising determining the random response interval of time exceeds the response interval of time. 6. The method of claim 4, further comprising recalculating the random response interval of time in response to the random response interval of time exceeding the response interval of time. 7. The method of claim 4, further comprising prohibiting the random response interval of time from exceeding the response interval of time. 8. An electronic device, comprising: a processor; anda memory device, the memory device storing code, the code when executed causing the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:receiving a query specifying a network address associated with a remote control;retrieving a category associated with the electronic device;querying an electronic database for the category associated with the electronic device, the electronic database electronically associating response intervals of time and categories of electronic devices including the category associated with the electronic device;identifying a response interval of time of the response intervals of time in the electronic database that is electronically associated with the category associated with the electronic device;determining a response to the query; andsending the response within the response interval of time that is electronically associated with the category. 9. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise determining the response based on the category. 10. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise determining a random response interval of time. 11. The electronic device of claim 10, wherein the operations further comprise comparing the response interval of time to the random response interval of time. 12. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the operations further comprise determining the random response interval of time exceeds the response interval of time. 13. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the operations further comprise recalculating the random response interval of time in response to the random response interval of time exceeding the response interval of time. 14. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the operations further comprise prohibiting the random response interval of time from exceeding the response interval of time. 15. A memory device storing instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising: receiving a query specifying a network address associated with a remote control;retrieving a category associated with the electronic device;querying an electronic database for the category associated with the electronic device, the electronic database electronically associating response intervals of time and categories of electronic devices including the category associated with the electronic device;identifying a response interval of time of the response intervals of time in the electronic database that is electronically associated with the category associated with the electronic device;determining a response to the query; andsending the response within the response interval of time that is electronically associated with the category. 16. The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise determining the response based on the category. 17. The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise determining a random response interval of time. 18. The memory device of claim 17, wherein the operations further comprise comparing the response interval of time to the random response interval of time. 19. The memory device of claim 18, wherein the operations further comprise determining the random response interval of time exceeds the response interval of time. 20. The memory device of claim 19, wherein the operations further comprise recalculating the random response interval of time in response to the random response interval of time exceeding the response interval of time.
