I have the ADIDT Chinese made remote described and pictured in the 
article. Cheesy construction, but works fine. I picked mine up for $6-8 
additional when buying a couple of other things from jinfinance on the 
'Bay. You could chop off the cable and connector or simply use the 
appropriate miniplug on your lightning detector and plug it into the 
socket on the side of the remote switch.

Here's the key piece of info for any of this.
