That depends on whether it's on a multiplexed circuit (scanning rows and columns) or not. The controller seems to have only one button so it may be a simple pull down or pull up but simply putting a capacitor in series is still pretty optimistic. | |

A under one dollar ATTINY (with arduino firmware or not) or MSP430 or small microcontroller is all you need. An analog solution will be bigger, and probably take more power. Heck, you can even directly use an IR led, so you wouldn't even need the remote control. | |
| Apr 19, 2016 at 20:59 | comment | added | Andrea | I totally agree about the arduino, I didn't want to go that route because it's pretty much overkill. BTW the remote is powered by a CR2025 battery, so a 3v button battery. I don't know anything else, and even if I'm probably going to buy a magnetic switch I'm also gonna buy another remote and try both solutions, as with capacitors I will probably already have the necessary parts and not need to wait. If you can help me figure it out with capacitors it would be awesome. | |
