The invention concerns a self-powered remote control device comprising
transmitting means, a feeder circuit connected to said transmitting means,
a generator supplying electric power connected to the feeder circuit, and
control means associated with the electric power generator. The generator
comprises at least a piezoelectric element receiving mechanical stresses
produced by actuating the control means and supplying electric power to
the feeder circuit. The invention also concerns an apparatus comprising at
least a self-contained control device actuated by a mechanical action
member. The invention further concerns an electric installation comprising
means for receiving signals transmitted by at least a self-powered control
device.
