It doesnt have a locator for the remote. But it has an app where all functions are achievable thru your phone. You can also dim lights to a desired brightness or even strobe if you for some reason needed to. I can see the strobe being handy in a emergency or SAR situation.Not sure about this, but does the Trigger Controller's remote have someway of locating the remote if you misplace it? Or do the lights in the switches stay on when it is dark out?
