Confederates in Madness!

i'm looking for a waterproof remote for a steam shower and an outside hot tub. the temperature range needs to be between +45C to -35C. yeah. that's what i said.

anyway, it also needs to be programmable and backlit. any recommendations?

thanks.

ian :)

vacuum seal an MX 500, and reseal it every time batteries get changed.

I think Crestron might make a waterproof remote, there is also Dolphin from Balboa

never used any of them, so cannot talk about features

RTI will have the U1 waterproof remote available in 1st Q 2005.

Also take a look at the Xantech Waterpad

The MX-500's LCD wont flow at -35C

Where in the world would you be using a remote at -35C?

we don't all live down south. :-) I have been hot tubing outdoors at around that temperature. The coolest thing is that the steam that rises forms into ice as soon as it touches something, so by the time you go in doors you are wearing an ice helmet :-)

welcome to the joys of the Great White North. O Canada. thy freezing winter wastes...! we're using the remote at a mountain retreat.

some great suggestions, thanks guys! :)

There is no remote that will operate at that temp. I use the Crestron WPR-48 on lots of outside jobs. Its rated at (0° to 60° C) Ive used it at cooler temps but never at -35 (wow thats cold) It does do everything else that you're looking for tho. Great backlight (it glows a bright blue) and it can be programmed for just about anything.

ahhh - the wonderful world of crestron
