I have an outlet that's live, and I want to make it switched without having to get an electrician. Suggestions?
Presto! (Emeril would say - BAM!)

Thanks! (And yes, but I think I might not've known enough to get very far. I ended up looking at a number of x10 options but couldn't find the right one. This looks simpler than everything else I found. Much obliged.) – Jeff Fry Feb 25 '12 at 6:00
Woodworkers often want to be able to control a dust collector remotely, so they sell remote controlled switches for that purpose. I use one like this, and it works exactly as advertised.
