Hold on for a few weeks. I have a new design to present which meets all
your criteria for a remotely operated switch.

In the meantime, you should absolutely design your layout for manual
switching. It is much more satisfying (and prototypical!) during an
operating session. Save remote switching for actual remote locations,
and try to minimize those.

I'm having problems with automating switches right now. So far, all the

design the layout in such a way that a future motorization is easy.
