Claim:
1. Remote control device comprising: a generator configured to convert light or mechanical energy to electrical energy, a wireless transmitter capable of sending messages to a remote receiver, a first electrical energy storage element connected to the energy generator and so as to be charged with the electrical energy generated by the generator and connected to the wireless transmitter so as to supply power to the wireless transmitter in a first operating mode of the control device, and a second electrical energy storage element connected to the wireless transmitter so as to supply power to the wireless transmitter in a second operating mode, wherein the second electrical energy storage element is connected to the generator via parallel connection of a first resistor and a first diode, a cathode of the first diode being connected to the positive terminal of the generator, so that current from the generator flows preferentially toward the first electrical energy storage element and charges preferentially the first electrical energy storage element.
