Forgive me if this has been addressed before but I couldn't find any info on it.

I just bought a Sony RM-AV3100 for my home entertainment system. I have some plug in halogen spot lamps in my home theater that I use as back lighting. I am trying to find a SIMPLE plug in device that accepts an IR signal from my remote that can turn these lights on and off (simlar to the famous "Clapper" but with IR instead of noise activation).

Does anyone know where I can find something like this? The X-10 stuff is more involved than I would like to get for now, and I need it to work with my new remote.

Thanks!

Lutron has them.

They are rated for 300 watts. If your lamps have built in dimmers they should be removed or bypassed. It will cost more than the X-10 solution.

Xantech AC-1 or AC-2 controlled AC outlets

AC-1 works by DC voltage trigger (5-30amps), from your receiver, perhaps, or you can pair it with a IR controlled CC-12 relay box. msrp for both is $189.

AC-2 can work the same as above plus it has RCA video loop thru for sensor trigger activation, which could connect to the monitor out of the receiver. msrp is $168.

Both units handle a 15a max circuit.
