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