Pump remote?

Hi,
I'd like to shut down my pump at night to save on power bills (I have a large saltwater pool 30K gal, I think) and wonder if anyone has used a remote control switch so I can just shut it off without walking out around the house to the pump. This probably sounds like the height of lazyness but we usually remember to shut it off after we've gone to bed and then just say to heck with it, we'll remember tomorrow night. :lol:
thanks

Why not just put it on a timer. Intermatic makes several that would work.
