I would like to find, for an elderly person, a remote control that could learn ON and OFF (toggle), and VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN from the existing remote control. Only 4 buttons max, preferably 3 since ON/OFF is a toggle. Preferably large buttons, but whatever I can find.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

EDITED TO ADD: I am appreciative of any and all responses. I was not clear. I am looking for 3-4 buttons. Four max. I am looking for a teachable remote; not a code accessing remote but a teachable remote where you butt one up against the other and the new remote learns from the old.

Thanks again!

Would like to revive this thread... most of these units listed by DJY can only control TV and/or Cable box with predefined codes. Are there any remotes similar in spirit of design simplicity that allow for TRUE learning or at least support a much, much larger universe of predefined codes to support devices like surround processors and home theater receivers?

The Weemote DV has 9 buttons, but that's probably as little as your going to get with actual code learning capability. It also wasn't designed with a specific "power" button. :-/
