Hello all,

In thinking about how to use cold well water, a radiator and a fan to
air condition or at least partially dehumidify a small building I
realised that the DC pump I am using in the well would need to be
turned off and on from the building about a hundred feet away, not a
great distance but something else to buy nonetheless and wire is not
cheap these days anyway. I thought perhaps a remote controlled switch
would be perfect. If I can turn on my television with a remote surely
I could turn on a pump from only a hundred feet away? This would be
handy.

Then I thought about the whole issue of remote switching and wondered
if there was a manufacturer of such thing ? I have done no research on
this at all but thought it might be something someone here could
answer in a blink. I am hoping it doesnt need to be a computer
controlled wifi sort of thing rigged to a cell phone so I can call
ahead to start the system or indeed have it thermostatically
controlled...

Thanks anyway for so far.
