I would like to have remote control of my boat shed lights as I approach home base at night as well as from the house. Dawn to dusk lighting is out because of the attraction of bugs/spiders, and motion sensing is also not on the table because every time the boat sways in its lift in the wind at night, the lights would come on. Thus, I have come up with the idea of a fob-operated switch: i guess like a garage door opener. It would need to be able to control about 200 Watts worth of LED lighting I am planning to install. I am looking at some examples online in my initial search, but soon realized that some of the smart folks here probably have some reality-based knowledge I can lean on. The system is in the initial stages of design with the PVC conduit and wiring and couplers on hand, and the flood lights are on order. Now for some fancy switching....
