Remote On Off Device

I want to create a simple device that would turn On and Off from 2 - 4 relays for devices that operate on 24V max, remotely.

I need this to be done on a distance of approx 500m.

I was thinking about a couple of RF Long range modems with a Pic connected to them and on the switching part a Darlington IC to control the Relays.

I need this device to operate for atleast 2-3 (more would be better) days without changing the batteries.

My question is.

Is there another way of doing this (cheaper way) ? simpler way?

Forget about this post, already found what i was looking for :slight_smile:
