This year’s CES was a real eco fest, but one of the smallest firms with a green message was GreenPeak. Don’t be mislead though, it’s battery-saving remote control tech is astounding.
Using RF signals instead of infra-red, GreenPeak’s remote controls are powered by a standard watch battery that’ll never need replacing. And the best news: GreenPeak isn’t keeping the technology to itself.
It has released a reference design, which other manufacturers can tweak to suit their own products.
“RF remote controls equipped with GreenPeak’s communication controller can be made maintenance free,” the company explained. “A single watch type battery can outlast the life time of the remote.”
For companies still keen to use infra-red, GreenPeak also has a “combo” remote, which includes infra-red alongside RF controls, and a third design includes the provision for companies to add touchscreens on the remote itself for “high speed content browsing, gaming, as well as high resolution displays.”
