Crestron’s New Waterproof Remote Is, Well, Out There

crestron-ufo-wpr-3er-0312Crestron’s new UFO Waterproof Remote Control is a buoyant saucer-shaped remote that includes rubber-coated buttons for macro functions, as well as a color LCD readout. Crestron is marketing it for indoor and outdoor use in or around pools, hot tubs, bathtubs, spas and on yachts.

The user interface features customizable menus with color icons and is molded in a rugged, rubberized outer skin which Crestron says makes the UFO resistant to damage from chlorine, salt water and sterilization solutions.

The UFO also provides extended wireless coverage and two-way feedback from a 2.8″ active-matrix color LCD display. Using Crestron 2.4 GHz RF wireless technology, Crestron says it allows extended coverage performance up to 200 feet indoors, and 1,000 feet outdoors using the optional Extended Range RF Wireless Gateway.
