So I have an outlet (in my apartment) that is controlled by a light switch next to the front door. I currently have a lamp on it, so that I can enter the apartment, hit the switch, and turn on the lamp.
Now, I want to move the lamp to the opposite wall, but I don't really want to run an extension cord back to the switched outlet. Is there some transmitter-hardware that would let me turn on the switched outlet, which would then activate another outlet or pluggable device, and thus give power to the lamp?
I know they make remote-controlled outlets, but I'm really only wanting to use the existing wall switch and nothing else.
