Moving a lightswitch

[tac2983]

Hi all,

Quick question, is there such a thing as a remote lightswitch which will look like a regular lightswitch, I want to move my sons door to open the other way but I'm not decorating his room and I don't want conduit down the wall, basically I want to find a blanking plate for his current lightswitch and have some kind of remote activation in there and the have a switch on the other wall that looks like a normal switch but remotely activates the light!

Cheers in advance
Tom

You could always look at something like this

Just stick the remote to the wall or let your son take it to bed, doesn't look 100% like a normal switch but should be ok. I think B&Q sell them.

There are probably other similar devices.

Why bother capping off the real switch though?
