I want to use a handheld remote, similar to a TV remote, at location A to switch power on/off at a 110 vac outlet at location B. Distance between A and B is about 20 feet.
At Home Depot I found, for about $30, a device that plugs into an ordinary home outlet and works for 110 vac incandescent and halogen lamps, but not for florescent lamps. What I want to control is a transformer that goes from 110 vac to 12 vdc, and then to 12 v light bulbs and relays that are part of a display. Basically, I want to turn this display on and off from about 20 feet away.
Ideas?
Best regards to all.
