I am looking to design a pair of ASICs (transmitter and receiver) such that whenever the transmitter is supplied power, the receive allows AC to flow through it. The system would likely look extremely similar to a remote controlled power outlet.
What do I need to look into learning about to accomplish this?
I assume that RF is the best way to accomplish the wireless component, but do I need a whole RF transmitter and receiver board like this (http://cdn.sparkfun.com/datasheets/...5MHz_ASK_RF_Transmitter_Module_Data_Sheet.pdf) for a simple boolean transmission, or is there a simpler method to send and receive only one unmodulated signal?
Is the simplest way to go from RF signal to closed switch to first convert the received signal to a digital high and send that to a Solid State Relay?
