The ones I have in my house [0] were not that expensive and have been quite reliable for years now.

Do you know of any where the receiver plugs into an existing outlet and has an inline receptacle for the controlling device already wired up?

No, but the one I linked could be wired up that way with a pigtail plug & receptacle, although it'd be pretty big and unwieldy.
