Hey,
I've been looking at these remote light switches and I'm wondering how they get power to power the micro-controller inside used for 433mhz and captivate touch sense without turning on the light-bulb attached, I know they don't use a battery. I'd like to rip one apart and attach an Espruino (Possibly ESP8266 ESP-09) to add a timeout so the light goes off after a few hours or control it via WiFi.
