Perhaps you have already searched for the well established Remote
Station groups and operations throughout the world. Here is what I
found. GL de Ken N9VV:

An interesting problem seems to be how to control power to a rig
remotely and to disconnect antennas during a storm. Very few rigs
seem to be designed to have their power switch controlled
remotely. There are web based 110VAC power control units that have
been in use in computer machine rooms for 20 years - but what
about 220VAC to the Linear?. Some of the nice units are available
on eBay for $99 (http://www.digital-loggers.com/lpc.html)
Another question is about total protection during lightning storms
in the local area? what about checking remote SWR?

There is also a Yahoo group that I set up some time ago, but which
has languished largely unused since, titled hamautomation. It has
81 members, which, at the time, seemed to be mostly people
interested in remote operation.
