I use on of Visonic's powercode remotes - secure (anti grab etc) and easily
interfaces with Comfort. Excellent range too :)

Small 4 button remote - I've assigned two buttons to an electronic lock,
one to the garage door and the other to an intelligent lighting profile
(turns various lights on depending on time of day).

Works very well.

Paul.
