Really needs to be wireless. Making is an option, I've half toyed with the idea of putting the guts of four plugin unit's into something. I don't like that all that much four receivers all on when all you need is a single 4 channel receiver.

My experience of these is not good. I find they lose their setting for no obvious reason and need their switching channel to be reset.

I know it's a while since this was posted but I only stumbled on this recently but it does seem to fit the bill.
