What you did is fine, but there is an easier way. Put a light on a
timer. I even have an X-10 setup so I can turn on a couple of lights

Can you explain how you did this? Our outsde lights in front are X-10, and
our car can be programmed to open the garage door, but does that mean it can
also turn on X-10 operated lights? I don't see that in the manual.

thanks,

I'm guessing that he must have had an X-10 xmitter/receiver setup with
the xmitter in his car.

I still have a little bit of X-10 stuff; mostly because I am hard to
wake up in the morning. They used to have (still do?) an X-10 alarm
clock, and I liked having that because I'd program the lamp next to my
bed to come on when my alarm went off. However the alarm buzzer is
pretty wimpy and the thing wouldn't keep time when the power went off
(it had a battery backup but it'd be off by an hour or two by the time
the power came back on) so I moved on to more modern technology.

Once upon a time, you used to see alarm clocks, especially clock radios,
with a receptacle in the back of the case to plug in a lamp. Haven't
seen that in years.
