Typical price range, not a vendor quote. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Professional guidance helps The remote can work out of the box for someone who can press its buttons. But most people who need scanning also need the right switch, a good position, and help learning to scan. A family could work it out alone, but input from an OT, SLP or ATP will likely give much better results and save wasted effort.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The EnvirON Scanning Remote lets someone control up to eight functions on infrared and mains-powered devices, such as a TV, radio, lights or kitchen appliances, from one handheld unit. Its large touch-sensitive buttons can be pressed directly, or you can run it with one or two switches that step through the options (scanning). That makes it useful for a person who can't reach or press small buttons but can reliably hit a switch. It's built to work with the EnvirON Hub and the free EnvirON iOS app, and it also works with iOS Switch Control through switches like the APPlicator or iSwitch. Plan on choosing and positioning switches and teaching the scanning pattern; it works best as part of a larger setup.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    If the person can press the large buttons directly, you can try the remote right away on a supported device.
  • With a guide
    1. Connect the remote to the EnvirON Hub and set up the EnvirON app if you want to use them together.
    2. Plug in one or two switches for scanning use and test that each button press does what you expect. Allow about an hour for this, then see manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
  • With professional help
    An OT, SLP or ATP can help pick the right switch and its position, set the scanning style, and match each of the eight functions to the devices the person wants to control. Plan on one or two sessions, plus practice time.
