I suspect that the easy to access buttons might be an issue for the
OP. Of course one could hijack a couple of the RS232 control lines to
operate a transistor switch across the on and off pads of the remotes
PCB.

But if you're going to do that why bother with all the RF malarky.
Just use an RS232 control line to operate a mains relay. Still need a
transistor switch to drive the relay.

Both Fail the "boxed and ready to use" test though. B-(
