Re: I need an out of the house remote

The X10 appliance switches that others have mentioned (best to get from
Ebay as suggested) work well.

To get the distance you need from the RF remote, see:

I have used the V572 RF Whole House Transceiver for about 8 years now, and
it works great.  I can control things from the keyfob remotes from
well beyond what the typical X10 receiver covers.

Hope that helps.
