Add a remote switch for an inverter?
I have a couple of pure sine wave inverters. They are bargain inverters; however, I find them to work well enough and they satisfy my needs. But I really wish I had a remote on/off switch for them. ...

You're worried about the parasitic draw of a control module for a wireless remote, but you don't seem to be at all concerned about the parasitic draw of the inverters when powered off?
In either case the draw is "minimal" but there is still a draw.
Control module draw is in addition to the draw of the inverter when powered off. If it can be avoided, I'll avoid it. Plus I have switches laying around. I'd have to buy the wireless remote setup.
You're right though, if I'm fretting about parasitic draws I should be worrying about having the inverters hooked to the batteries full time. I guess that since they've been installed for a few years that way, that draw is forgotten about and just part of normal operations now. :)
