Tired of climbing behind your Christmas tree to turn it on? I always come out with a hair full of tinsel, which is a nice look, but more New Year's, don't you think?

This year we're using Smart Home's INSTEON Wireless Remote Starter kit which controls all your outside Christmas lights, that tasteful blow-up Santa on the lawn, and the holiday Douglas fir.

Smart Home tells us that the INSTEON Holiday Lighting Starter Kit can be set up "in less than five minutes" (it took me a little longer) to control any connected device remotely using a simple "Plug and Tap" setup process. For example, to control "linked" devices, you can tap one of the RemoteLinc's buttons on or off, or you can hold a button to brighten or dim. Each of the six ON/OFF buttons on the RemoteLinc can be set up to control every light or just one light in your home remotely. (It can be used over 150' from the Access Point .)

For only $89.99 you can simplify your holidays -- and leave the tinsel for the blow-out New Year's party. Some lucky POPGADGET email subscriber will win one of these, so make sure you're on Santa's favorites list.
