Reddit mentions of Etekcity Upgraded Wireless Remote Control Electrical Outlet Switch for Lights and Household Appliances, Up to 100 ft, FCC Certified, ETL Listed, White (Learning Code)

> A workaround could be using a smart home setup, which would require a hub, smart switch, and smart outlet.

If I understand OP's situation correctly, this $100 Lutron kit will have what they need to replace a wired switch and add wireless control.

But if they just need to remotely control an outlet, there are cheaper non-connected options with a simple RF remote like this $16 one.

In what way? What's wrong with the existing contacts?

Get one of THESE

Depends on how I want it to look.

If I didn't mind having a switch on the side:

I'd take a power strip, cut the cord near the strip part. Install a light switch in an electrical box on the side wire power strip to light switch.

If I wanted something less visible I'd use a RF switch with the power strip plugged in. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0087EIDRS/ (buy the 3 pack though, you find lots of uses)

Get a remotely controlled electrical outlet. I have one I use for my Christmas tree. Usually good for 30 feet or so.

Hook it up to a plug in buzzer or light/lamp.

EDIT 2: How about a [wireless door chime?] ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001CMLAZ4?cache=d30cc154f6d6e9276126bde37a212fcf&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&qid=1410395938&sr=8-9#ref=mp_s_a_1_9)

I have this once in a while, too. With both the Rift & vive. I think it may be related to USB power, but I don't know. I have my link box plugged into an outlet with a remote to make it easy to turn on & off.

You can just unplug them, use the automatic power option or just leave them running. I personally just use a remote controlled outlet, like this. You only need to shutdown the master basestation and the other will power off automatically.

And you can move them while they are running, there are safeguards and the motors will spin down if necessary.

I just use a remote outlet to turn it off completely after it runs the shutdown command. Then when I want to use it again I turn the outlet on with the remote and it boots up fresh.

This happened to me too. My TV is on the patio mounted too high to reach. I plugged something like this into the outlet that powers the chromecast and then just turn it off when im watching OTA.

I never found a software fix for this. Instead I just hooked up my wheel to outlet switch and leave it off unless I want to race.

I have a T300 Alcantara so the pedals plug directly into the wheelbase. The G27 uses USB pedals, right? I'm not sure if the menu would be fine if it only detects the pedals and not the wheel.

I have two sets of these that I've been very happy with: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0087EIDRS/ref=dp_cerb_1

I have a white noise machine for myself because it helps me sleep. It plugs into this guy so I can turn it on and off with a remote. I use the same remote for other outlets around my house, mostly lamps. It’s awesome. So you could get a remote controlled or Bluetooth enabled outlet and use any sound machine you want.

The very first result from my Amazon search "remote controlled outlet" was a 1200w outlet

Tungsten is a metal not a load rating.

DILAZY - Plug TV into remotely controlled outlet. Drape some wires into rowing machine. Periodically hit the button to turn the TV on or off depending on treadmill usage. Enjoy frustration of children and their new found obsession with exercise.

You can just plug your amp into a remote controlled outlet like this one. I don't know if that specific model is any good, but I'm sure that you can solve your problem without buying a new amp.

or you can get something like this and push the button yourself http://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Wireless-Electrical-Household-Appliances/dp/B0087EIDRS/ref=pd_sim_60_17?ie=UTF8&dpID=41Ih0RapCkL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0R9ZTTM6H5BZH9XTDFCQ

leave it on home page , thats the way to do it , doesn't slow pi or kodi down , thats how most people use it.
Only time it is ever powered off is on the rare occasion when it freezes , usually when i am customising artwork settings etc on a build, so to get around having to pull the power lead out to reboot i have one of these .https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Wireless-Electrical-Household-Appliances/dp/B0087EIDRS/ref=sr_1_5/177-5705950-1692669?ie=UTF8&qid=1466194332&sr=8-5&keywords=remote+power+switch

I have this add-on in the bedroom for the same reason. A very well-spent $11.
