In the house proper, there is a photocell-controlled circuit that operates exterior lights and one outlet inside the house. I did finally locate a switch that was very much obscured by some shelves and barely reachable as I stand on my toes. I replaced the photocell and they operated as they should. These exterior garage lights, it turned out, were operated by a photocell gone bad. An electrician had his family grow up in it before I bought it after he died. MtvhikeI had some lights that I could not locate a switch for.
Fingers crossed over here in Orange County! or maybe SwitchFlip will actually have an offering soon versus just gathering email addresses (it must be hard, I don't mean to sound unappreciative of the difficult process that must be involved in starting up such a company). I am posting here in the hopes of convincing any of the home automation powers that be to pursue this.
I even went so far as to try 2 Belkin WeMo switches and IFTTT, but was mistaken in thinking it would work (at present, there is no "if WeMo Switch loses power", just "if WeMo Switch is turned OFF" - not the same thing, of course. I have found a bunch of different forum threads on this subject including this one but there just isn't anything out there right now! I do not want to add another switch as part of the solution, just a transponder in the switched outlet and a receiver in the desired outlet. I have a light switch in my new apartment that controls the outlet right next to it but I'd rather have the light switch control the outlet on the far end of the room - that just makes sense, doesn't it? I have been looking for a solution to the same problem.
