Been trawling this forum looking at likely threads and hunting around google, but nothing quite fits my need.
I have customised a product for charities to give to elderly/blind people, but it's not ideal because of the tacky remote it comes with. So as an option, I wanted to offer a big button remote.
For a while, the URC-7210 was looking good, but it's hard to come by and every single key needs custom fiddling - there's no setup code for it.
Secondly, the unit itself has this daft thing where it requires recall, then a multiple input key, then the 2 digits for anything over 10.
I remember having a remote years ago where you could program a key to increment each time it was pressed. I have a feeling it would have been my long-gone and sadly missed URC-7560 which would have been perfect - chunky, learning, plus macros. Anything to cut down the number of keypresses.
The Sony RM-EZ4T would have been fine, but doesn't have the learning feature or the code to operate the device, and I can't find the punchthrough type codes that made the URC-7210 workable.
A Silvercrest URC 101 I found in Lidl was almost perfect. The problem is, Lidl never have the same things twice. Here it is:
[Link: mysilvercrest.de]Silvercrest don't answer emails of where I can buy it elsewhere.
A couple of other points:
1: This is going to be about 40-50 units, not commercial quantities.
2: Charities will be providing it - lower the cost the better.
So I don't care what the brand is, as long as it works!
(Oh, and preferably beeps, but that's an extra).
