Remote Control Lamps
Home Automation – Lighting?
I’ve recently been thinking about adding some home automation and was wondering what it would take to get lights to work via remote control. I have a remote control that can handle it, but the lights cannot.
After looking around briefly on the web, it seems like most things I find are simple adapters that you plug into the wall, and then you plug some other lamp / appliance into that. This would work for lamps, but what about standard, wired lighting throughout a house? Overhead lights? The kinds that function with your standard wall switch?
Is there any somewhat simple way to add remote control ability to those existing lights? It seems like you should only have to change the current light switch with something that can also be controlled automatically as well, but I haven’t seen any yet.
Goggle the x10 system. I have been using this system for 12 years. It has wall switch modules. I use them for everything. I use the computer interface to turn on ALL of my Christmas related lights indoors and out. The remote controls work great. x10 is proven and dependable. Try this link:

Hope this helps.
