Motion is out-of-date solution.
It has problem with libavformat of Raspbian Jessie.

I use raspberry pi3.

Nice work.

I'm a little disappointed that you aren't allowing the cats to initiate a call to you .... it seems so unfair

After all what sort of Hotel are you running where you can't call room service [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-5a782021-d0aa-44c0-b4f3-756d6224b437/contentimage_5F00_938.png:16:16]

There is a very nice piece of software for these remote RF devices called RCSwitch

https://code.google.com/p/rc-switch/

and a porting for RPi

https://github.com/r10r/rcswitch-pi which requires a bit more.

They are a very safe (and economical) way of controlling mains voltages, but lack feedback.
