Device that 'presses' buttons

I have that same backlighting system. I mounted the control box right on the side of my TV. I just turn it on and off manually.
There is something you may be able to try. I have a remote for my Christmas lighting. The way I set up the lights is I plug the receiver module in the plug a power strip into it then all the lighting into the pwer strip. Then when I want to turn all the lights on I hit the remote button and Voila, all the light come on. I'm not sure if this will work with the Cyron Backlights because it feels like a little raised button. I did notice one night when our power went out and came back on the backlights powered on and I didn't have them on prior to losing power.
Anyway, you can find the remote with the receiver plug at Loews or Home depot pretty cheap.
