Waterproof Remote Control Serves Many Needs

August 20, 2012
Crestron UFO waterproof remote control

 

The Crestron UFO waterproof remote control is a buoyant, saucer-shaped remote that gives users the convenience of controlling entertainment systems, lighting, thermostats, security systems and other connected devices without worrying about water damage. UFO is ideal for indoor and outdoor use in or around pools, hot tubs, bathtubs, spas, and on yachts. It has even found a place in hospital operating rooms as UFO can be submerged in sanitizing liquid without being affected. The user interface features customizable menus with full-color icons. The remote is molded in a rugged, rubberized outer skin, which is resistant to damage from chlorine, salt water and sterilization solutions. UFO provides extended wireless coverage and two-way feedback from its 2.8-in. active-matrix color LCD display. UFO works like an IR remote with instant response, with all the benefits of two-way RF. Using Crestron 2.4 GHz RF wireless technology allows extended coverage performance up to 200 ft. indoors, and 1000 ft. outdoors using the optional Extended Range RF Wireless Gateway.
