these work pretty well but the "remote" is your phone via the Wemo app: http://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F7C030;jsessionid=205404287CCF388D0A79AE5A3196DADB/the english language is stopping me from having a good time searching google for this but I'm looking for a way to turn on my backyard lights from a place that's not the light switch.
Due to the way the back of my house is situated, putting a wired device near the back door is impossible. there are no walls, just a door and window.
BUT
Does someone make a smart light switch I can put where the current light switch is, and a wifi/cordless REMOTE I can stick somewhere that I can tap a button, hit a switch, whatever to turn on the lights.
I know I can do it with google home, but maybe I'm an old person but talking to my appliances just seems weird to me. I'd just like to tap a button please.
hmm not sure I want to use my phone either. Would love to slap a button on my way out the door to turn on the flood lights.these work pretty well but the "remote" is your phone via the Wemo app: http://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F7C030;jsessionid=205404287CCF388D0A79AE5A3196DADB/
also cool because you can easily set rules for auto on/off based on time, sunset/sunrise, etc.
oh snap, I think this is it.Insteon will do this. You need a hub, one of their switches, and the free app. You can also buy a remote and use that as well.
Walking to a light switch is healthy.
next time you're over I'll show you where it is. I considered moving it when I redid the kitchen but didn't. I'm not starting to regret it.
one day my wife will fall down the stairs turning the backyard lights on.

Im not sure if you want a dimmable outdoor light, but it will work. I have Tried a few different lighting setups in the past couple years and im really happy with my hue setup.
I have stadium lighting in my yard so I can play fetch with my dog at midnight. So I need at least a 15amp switch.
