Anyone seen a small/simple z-wave hand-held remote?

[johnnynine]

I'm looking for a simple Z-Wave hand-held remote, preferably waterproof. I haven't seen anything like this.

If anyone has any recommendations please post them.

Thanks.

Not too sure what you mean by 'simple'. I have been using/abusing several Intermatic HA09 models for well over a year. I (and wife/kids/grand kids) have not been able to break one yet. They are not water proof though.

Edit added:
Also, Wayne Dalton has a key-chain type remote that has three Z-Wave buttons. AFAIK, This one needs their 'gateway' module to operate.

By simple I mean a remote that has just a few buttons with no lcd screen and is low in cost.

The Intermatic HA09 is the simplest that I have found as well. It has 6 on/off switches, but I'd even be happy with just 4.

It would be used to control a pool light and a pool pump which is why water/weatherproof would be nice... I guess a plastic bag may have to do.

OR aren't there some transparent shrink-wrap plastics that you can use a blow dryer to seal and shrink?

ken is on point with the wayne-dalton keychain. you can use their keyfob with their secondary controller. it would be much easier to seal that in plastic than a whole ha09.

haven't tried these yet but check out these z-wave pool/spa controls/contoller:

let me know if you try them out. i am curious if they are full z-wave compliant devices which can be added into any z-wave network or a bastardized version like harmony is doing with their 890 and 1000 line remotes to extenders where they can only operate to each other.

Thanks, that stuff looks ideal!

...but the waterproof remote itself is around $175-$200 depending on where you look. I've already got the system working with just straight z-wave, and a cheapy remote in a plastic bag isn't really what I want but for $30-$40 the best solution but it looks like I can't beat the price until someone produces a real waterproof z-wave remote.
