Looking for remote control Tx/Rx

Other Hardware Sensors
1

For my project, I need a remote control key fob like the ones used to remote start your car. Here is an ebay link to one that looks like it would work. Most remotes that I find are like this one where the receiver is attached to a large board with relays. Space is an issue, and I don't need the relays.

What I would like to find:

  • 2 transmitters and a receiver without relays
  • 2 or more channels (don't need 4ch)
  • prefer a key fob that isn't so ugly, a black one with "start" and "stop" buttons is ideal
  • located in USA or somewhere with quick shipping

Does anyone know where I can find such an item for sale? Thanks.

Sparkfun has a fob that works with the nRF24L01+ radios. Might be worth a look.

You need to decide: Do you "need" the remote to operate via radio signals... possible, but more work, hassles, to get working... or will an infra-red beam device do? Much easier to get working.
