Re: Control Ceiling Lights



If it is X10 (and I seem to remember hearing that someplace), you need
an RF receiver, set to the same "house code" as the device in your car.
  This will put commands over the power line in your house.

Then you can get x10 wall switches, or plug in modules to control
lights, etc.

A good place to look for info is x10.com - but beware of popup ads!
