<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt">I would look at x10 triggered switches. There are some command line tools you could call from an IVR. <br />
I did a lot of x10 development on windows back in the day. I have seen some things for linux as well.<br />

<br />
Ah Sandman http://sandman.com use a relay that goes onto an fxs port,<br />
call that fxs port and you have a connection. Since that only work<br />
momentary you will need a flip flop relay, the advantage is that by<br />
calling it again you can turn it off.<br />
Ring relay:<br />
