That would be a sort of tough one to do But i have done this with a set of
repeater of my own.

what I did was  allow the MAIN repeater ( if power failed) is have battery
back up on the controller and uhf link radio
so when the power failed a rely would kick out on the 120v side and when not
energized close the contact to recall a macro  or DTMF string to be sent out
the link radio  to turn on the AUX repeater listening to the link from the
MAIN that would respond to the command from the main and turn the repetaer
on. and when the power was restored it send a different string or macro
commands to turn the AUX repeater OFF..

this only worked out good due to the face that the power to both places were
on a difference service.. the main is in the county and the AUX repeater is
in the city.....
 but on the AUX controller u will have to be able to accept DTMF commands
from the link radio

hope that this would help some ...
You could also use a good switching circuit a couple of transistor and
resistor on the power line to take a analog input on the main controller hi
or low depending on your controller to  take place of the  relay

Good luck
