wall switch remote..where can I find that?

Maybe this is the wrong forum, but here goes...

I have an older relative who doesn’t get around well. They want me to install a remote to their overhead light in Master Bedroom. That is, be able to control the wall switch remotely.

They already have one of these in another room. It is a switch that replaces the original wall switch so it can operate manually (normally), but adds a second switch you can mount across the room. The prodict is old, but surely it still exists. No kind of marking I can find as to manaufacturer.

I went to Lowes…HD….no one can help. They can offer $35-50 ceiling fan remotes…but that’s overkill…its one little light. This isn’t a “smart house” and I am not trying to fry an egg or fix a latte from the bedroom…just kill the overhead light so Granny doesn’t have to get out of bed. I see many remotes to plug say a bedside lamp into...but this is to control an overhead...so its more of a wallswitch remote.

Any suggestions what this product is called and or where to find one?

Thanks.

THB

You said "no one can help" but the truth is that you just haven't found the person that can help. Somewhere in both HD and Lowes, they sell a "remote switch". You just need to find it, or find the person who knows where to find it.
