Presto! (Emeril would say - BAM!)

P.S. Did you try googling for it yourself first? Just sayin'...

Thanks! (And yes, but I think I might not've known enough to get very far. I ended up looking at a number of x10 options but couldn't find the right one. This looks simpler than everything else I found. Much obliged.) –  Jeff Fry Feb 25 '12 at 6:00

Woodworkers often want to be able to control a dust collector remotely, so they sell remote controlled switches for that purpose. I use one like this, and it works exactly as advertised.
