In some embodiments, an electronic device performs an action in response to detection of a sequence of one or more motion gestures. Motion gesture information of a first electronic device optionally includes a first portion representing a respective attitude of the first electronic device relative to a frame of reference and a second portion that includes movement of the first electronic device from the respective attitude of the first electronic device. In accordance with a determination that the movement of the first electronic device during the second portion of the motion gesture meets movement criteria for a movement gesture that corresponds to the respective attitude of the first electronic device, a process is initiated to control the first electronic device or a second electronic device in accordance with the second portion of the motion gesture.
