the range would be questionable but if the guy is fine with his baby monitor you could just use one of these with the controller attached to a 12v solenoid with a rubber finger mounted to press the button.

This could be a less than $50 solution with no microcontroller required.
That sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. Less work, and more professional looking. Thanks Greg!
