Shop4Tech has the Remote Controlled Switch Socket 3-Pack with Free CD/DVD Marker for $25 - $4 coupon code FB17 [Exp 9/20] + $0 shipping = $21 shipped. It allows remote operation of many electrical devices, including lamps, appliances, tools and more (not sure about the tools though).
The Homelink unit in the car is just a replacement transmitter. In most cases people use them to replace their garage door opener but they learn RF signals so they should be able to control one of the units. It could be used to turn on a light in the front hall or in the garage as you drive up.
I bought these at Menards for 7 bucks each, so they all come's out the same price. Yes!.. #5 got it right about 100ft depending weather if outside. Many use it for Christmas Lights, turn on computers, Light, Machine, coffee machine and ECT.. I use it basicly for lights, works nice. I bought 4 and return one for anoher one cause it using the same channel, I want to remotely control each items. remote control battery last me over 2 years already..
Anybody out there try these with their Homelink unit in their car? If so, what was the range?

This product is absolute garbage. after buying it I would not recommend anyone spend money on this PoS.
