USB controlled power board

I am after an Australian version of this www.pwrusb.com/powerUSB-basic.html as in being for 240V and having Australian style outlets.
I have an observatory 500m away from my house which I control remotely and as running 240V power out to it was too expensive I run it off batteries with an inverter for 240V gear. But there are a couple of 240V gear which I would like to turn on and off remotely.
Does anyone know of an aussie version of this?
Greg

Are you at all comfortable wiring 240V? The reason I ask is because USB controlled relay boards are available from ebay.

But unless you're 100% confident or have an electrician friend who can help you don't attempt it.

It's the closest thing I've found in Australia. Though admittedly I didn't look very hard.

There are wifi controlled power outlets available in Australia. You might need a wifi extender but it is doable.
