Switch question

[ID_Paul]

I am in the beginning stages of a lighting project that could benefit from having a wireless switch to activate it.

Do you know if such a thing is available as a component - just a short range radio-controlled push once for on, again for off switch set? If so, do you know price and source?

Thank you.

Paul

Try posting this in the electronics forum, and you may get some feedback.

I have used a home panic RX/TX for this. The TX is a simple one or two button remote much like the one for your car and the RX is a 12/24V unit that can be run off a battery or an AC/DC adaptor.

The RX can be set to latching or momentary.

You will be able to pick up an RX/TX combo from any alarm supply store for $20 or so.

Lux,
OK, I have done that.

Streak,
Sounds like a good option, I'll look around.

Thanks.
Paul

I know you are probably sick of the X10 pop under adds, but they have some ok and cheap equipment for doing this type of stuff.
