Guys the whole concept of remote controls is based on pulsed data streams and alternate action switching. Cell phones turn on/off with alternate action switching using the same button, power switches on all remotes deliver a short pulse duration to the flip/flop in the microprocessor to activate triac or transistor switching.

The professional AV presentation industry has thousands of devices that use flip/flop circuitry for power up/down sequencing. This is not a new or unique concept.
