Here is the tear down of lift remote:
there is a chip nf52832 based certified ble module which comes with built in RF amplifier to boost the radio up to 20 db which I argue if it is nececcary with proper desing and external antenna in the housing rather PCB antenna, and that is it guys no further magic in the electronics!
there is a E paper very slow refresh rate display .
you could not desing the hardware cheaper than this very poor design
The housing design, tons of dead spaces and unnecessary bulky corners which makes the display to look even smaller than what it is.
Liked the trigger approach so no wiring from outside to waterproof section
Uses 2 AA battery which makes it even easier to go for certification and regulatory stuff
long story short, seems the design has been rushed and purposely made cheap as much as it is possible. For around $12k price tag I would except more for the remote part of it
