Projector remote

[harry]

Hi everybody, wonder if you guys have any idea where i can get a generic remote control for an Epson EBG-7905 projector? I have had ours mounted in our sports hall (not gonna big myself up, but it looks awesome.), however, I am hesitant to leave the remote for them to lose, or even worse, change all my settings.

Like i said, just a natty remote that they can control the power will suffice.

 

Thanks for any help.

 

Cheers

Harry

The vision techconnect remotes are good, but are pretty pricey.

Can you network it? I believe you can WOL it

Is it iR? How about a cheapo "learning" remote? This one is ugly enough not to be "borrowed": https://www.amazon.co.uk/Universal-Remote-Learning-Capability-Orange-yellow/dp/B004W2VFME

 

One of my sites disposed of a few Epson remotes last week - I assume most functions are generic.

RS232 panel. You can get cheap and cheerful ones easy enough, all hardwired so never any batteries to change and only give the users the functions you want them to have.

I buy these. Cheap, decent quality with good buttons and programmable to any projector. I have one set up as a backup to the hall projector remote as it will, one day, go missing.

I used KPMS Commercial to buy replacement remotes - may be worth seeing if they do a cheap compatible one

Wow, I didn't expect this many responses on a friday afternoon. Thanks guys for the responses, i'll get finance to order me a nice yellow universal one that way they can't lose it.

That yellow one is a TV remote. I've tried TV learning remotes in the past and it couldn't 'learn' the projector codes, which is why I went for the universal projector remote that I linked to.
