That's a much better question. :)

Purchas an Insteon switch from www.smarthome.com , also purchase an insteon
lamp module. The lamp module plugs between your remot-controlled lamp and
the wall. Set them both to the same address; turn off the wall switch, the
remote lamp (and the one connected to the wall switch) go out. Bonus: You
now have a dimmer in line with the lamps.
