X10 isn't only for "remote" control. You needn't drive the protocol or push buttons to use it.

Well, you need AC mains with zero crossings in order to transmit the
data pertaining to what needs to be done, to a remote receiver, in

No, you buy one of their interfaces for $5 or perhaps less (perhaps free).

Don't have one now, but I get ads for them all the time. So many that I throw them away (modules too). This stuff is *cheap*, if you don't buy it from RadioShaft (or Leviton) and there is a module to do just about everything.
