Use an existing Hobyte remote platform, modify an existing design, or develop a new remote around your product, receiver and control requirements. Housing, PCB, MCU, firmware, IR/RF/2.4GHz communication, LCD, key layouts and production support can be evaluated as part of the same project.
CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
A custom remote project can start from an existing housing, an old remote, a receiver board or a completely new product requirement.
Existing housing, structural modification or new enclosure development.
Key matrix, power, indicator, display and communication circuit design.
MCU selection and firmware cooperation based on project requirements.
IR, RF and 2.4GHz solutions evaluated according to the receiver and application.
Segment layout, status display and display-related PCB requirements.
Button quantity, function mapping, icons, labels and printed graphics.
Logo, printing, housing color and applicable surface treatments.
Sample validation before tooling, approval and production.
PROJECT OPTIONS
You do not need to start from a blank design. The right development path depends on what you already have and what needs to change.
Start with an existing Hobyte housing and adapt the PCB, key functions, artwork and communication solution around your project. Best when: an existing housing is suitable; key count is close to your requirement; faster evaluation is preferred.
Send us your current remote, photos, function list or receiver information so we can evaluate what can be retained and what needs to be redesigned. Best when: you already have a remote; the receiver or protocol already exists; you need function, appearance or PCB changes.
Develop a new remote around your industrial design, receiver, control logic and production requirements. Best when: the product needs a unique appearance; existing housings do not fit; new PCB / LCD / structure is required.
HOUSING & STRUCTURE
The enclosure can start from an existing remote platform or be developed around your product's industrial design and mechanical requirements.
Yes, in many projects the same housing can be adapted to different communication solutions by changing the PCB, MCU and related components. Physical constraints still need to be checked - for example, a housing without a suitable IR transmission window may not support infrared without structural modification.
A new structure may be required when existing housings cannot meet the size, appearance, key layout, LCD, battery or internal PCB requirements.
The control electronics are developed around the required key functions, receiver, protocol, display and power architecture.
Key matrix; indicator LEDs; battery and power; LCD interface; RF / IR circuit.
I/O requirements; memory; communication; display drive; project-specific selection.
Key functions; pairing; timing; status logic; receiver interaction. The firmware cooperation model is confirmed during technical review.
COMMUNICATION
The remote cannot be evaluated in isolation. Communication method, receiver hardware and control logic must be reviewed together.
Typical use: point-to-point control for appliances and set-top devices. Receiver requirement: IR receiver on the controlled device with line of sight. Key consideration: IR window placement in the housing and transmission angle.
Typical use: through-wall control for fans, lighting and industrial equipment. Receiver requirement: matched RF receiver module. Key consideration: frequency selection for the target market and pairing management.
Typical use: two-way communication with status feedback. Receiver requirement: 2.4GHz receiver or connected module. Key consideration: pairing, antenna space and power consumption.
Typical use: app-connected and smart device control. Receiver requirement: BLE-capable module on the device. Key consideration: module selection, certification and mobile integration.
Yes, in many projects we can evaluate compatibility with an existing receiver, but we need receiver or protocol information before confirming the solution.
Existing remote; receiver sample; PCB photos; protocol information; frequency; MCU / IC information if available; function list.
Display, key layout and branding decisions are made together with the PCB and housing design.
Custom segment layout, status icons, digits, backlight requirements and drive requirements.
Number of keys, function mapping, icons and key labels.
Logo, silk-screen artwork, housing color and packaging artwork where applicable.
A custom project should be validated before it reaches mass production.
Confirm housing, key layout and basic function.
Verify communication, receiver matching and required functions.
Move the approved design into repeatable assembly and manufacturing.
PROJECT INPUT
You do not need all of these items. The more information you have, the faster we can determine the right development path.
You only have: a photo, an old remote or basic functions. Result: enough for an initial evaluation.
You also have: receiver information, a PCB photo, or protocol / frequency. Result: better for technical feasibility review.
You have: drawings, schematic, protocol, function table or certification target. Result: suitable for detailed engineering evaluation.
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Share what you have - a remote, photos, a function list or receiver information.
We review feasibility, communication and housing options.
PCB, key layout, artwork and structure are designed.
Samples confirm function, pairing and fit.
Drawings, sample and production plan are approved.
The approved design moves into repeatable manufacturing.
