Another problem you may have is ground is generally not carried to the switches. Most controllers, be it WiFi, BT, IR, or whatever will require both 12V and ground. They might require 3.3V or 5V.
However, both 12V and ground can usually be found at the light fixture when the switch is on. You might be able to find small low side controllers and tuck them behind the light fixture on the ceiling.
If you have a switch that controls numerous lights, locate the controller at the 1st light fixture to control them all.

rf switches like these rf remote switches amazon could work there are a lot of different ones available like another person said you may have to put the relay switch boards behind the light fixture and leave the regular light switches to work normally. the remote switches would work with the normal light switches in the off position then.
or these rf remote switches

or these rf remote switches There are 2 wires at the light fixture, ground and 12V when the light switch is ON. There is no 12V when the light switch is OFF.
Leave the switch on to use the controller. You would have to put a local manual switch at the fixture to turn on the light if the controller fails

i use a 6 switch rf remote with 3 remotes in my rv to control 5 different speeds plus off of a speed controller for my roof fan vent that is a car radiator fan mounted in a vent cover and it has worked perfect since 2014. i used velcro to mount the remotes to the wall one next to the bed so i can turn the fan up or down if its getting to cold or hot.
only bad thing is the non standard batteries for the remotes although they usually last a few years

I got mine from Wish.Com not always the best source (you kind of pay your money and take your chances) but I've had fairly good luck. Most stuff comes from China by slow boat
One circuit switch
4 Circuit switch #1
4 Circuit Switch #2
They have others but I searched their site for 12 volt wireless remote switch.
You might find more with a google search.
