Waterproof remote

Postby scottw on Mon Dec 03, 2007 1:26 am

Ok maybe this is stupid but I just installed a speaker in our bathroom and am trying to find a way to semi-control Xlobby while in the shower. Listening to music while in the shower is cool but would be nice to be able to adjust the volume and change songs easily. I was thinking if there was a wireless (RF i guess) remote or wall switch that I could mount in the shower with just a few buttons on it. I am also trying to figure out how to control XL with it. I know XL has USB-UIRT support but that would not work with an RF remote so I may have to use girder and Xremote which is fine, I am currently using it with an IR remote for movies and it works fine.
Something like this from X10:

but waterproof is something like what I am looking for.

Anyone have any suggestions or ideas???

Thanks for any suggestions!!!!!

not cheap, but here's a start:

This way, you can control it right in the shower. Keep the command module by the uirt to send IR signals back and forth.
