I bought one of these on ebay

It works very well. I used the radio transmitter from about 80 feet away inside the house through multiple walls and it was successful. It has two modes, push and hold, push to toggle. The relays all have a NO and NC connection. The rf transmitter has 8 microswitches that shouldn't be any challenge to solder wires to.
This is the perfect solution for controlling those outdoor things that you
A) Don't want to trench and
B) Worry about lightening
I plan on using it to control irrigation valves that I added on to my system and already used up my one extra wire. I also figure to use it to automate my chicken coup. As soon as I get my automatic chicken coup door working and my "time to come home to roost" music. Also I can get it automatically refilling the water and maybe even dumping food. If I could get it to pick up the eggs and bring them in that would really be the bomb.
