Remote controls
A living-room handset is judged on feel and layout. A bathroom control is judged on sealing. An industrial remote is judged on whether it survives the shift. The platform follows the environment.
Six environments
Each card lists the constraint we design around and the platform family that usually fits. The final choice is confirmed after the key map and enclosure review.
TV, AV and streaming
Many devices, one handset. The layout has to stay familiar while the code library covers the installed base.
What we specify: IR code library, BLE pairing for app control, backlit navigation keys and a key map that reduces support calls.
Amplifiers, speakers and soundbars
Source switching, volume and transport keys are used more than any other function, so their feel matters most.
What we specify: Tactile transport keys, a clear source row, metal-look finishes and legends that do not wear off.
Wall controls and wet rooms
Moisture, cleaning agents and a small mounting footprint drive the design more than the key count.
What we specify: Sealed silicone keypad, IP-rated enclosure, backlit legends and a mounting frame that sits cleanly against tile.
Air conditioning, heat pumps and ventilation
Temperature and mode have to be legible at a glance, often in a dim room or from across a wall.
What we specify: Large mode legends, recessed keys that resist accidental presses, and an LCD option for schedule feedback.
Equipment, access and vehicle control
Gloves, vibration, dust and long shifts. The remote is a tool, not a lifestyle product.
What we specify: Reinforced housing, long-travel keys, defined drop and dust protection, and RF pairing that survives interference.
Hotel rooms, displays and kiosks
Guests should not need instructions. The key map has to be obvious, and the handset has to survive being lost.
What we specify: Minimal key map, printed legends, anti-theft tether option and a low-cost replaceable enclosure.
Protocol selection
The protocol decides the antenna, the power budget and whether the user has to aim. We confirm the choice against the device you are controlling, not against a preference.
| Link | Best for | Range | Pairing |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR | TV, AV y climatización en visión directa | Habitación | Ninguno |
| RF 433 / 868 | Baño, acceso y equipos | Entre habitaciones | Fijo o aprendizaje |
| 2.4 GHz | Audio, iluminación e instalaciones densas | Toda la casa | Emparejamiento |
| BLE | Control por app, actualizaciones OTA y estado | Toda la casa | Emparejamiento seguro |
From scenario to shipment
The application review feeds the key map, the key map feeds the tool, and the tool is validated before mass production.
Functions, legends, key travel and the protocol are agreed against the device.
PCB, antenna, firmware and code library developed and tested in-house.
Enclosure and silicone keypad tools built, T1 samples measured and felt.
Small batch assembled, tested and signed off before the line runs.
We will come back with a protocol, a key map direction and the tooling scope.
