I have a Sharp air conditioner which has a remote control to turn it on and off. Is there something I can connect to my telephone so I can call my house and cause the remote control’s "on" signal to be sent to the air conditioner?
Because the air conditioner is electronic, it loses all its settings if the power is disconnected. That means a power switch won’t work. It has to be done as the remote control would, sending infrared.

This isn’t a tutorial or anything, but this guy has built exactly what you are thinking of. Maybe if you email him he will tell you how he made it.
