ᐅ Controlling a circulation pump via wireless or using a Circon module?

Hello everyone,
Probably the never-ending question.
In my three-story single-family house, unfortunately, a recirculation system was installed. It operates once a day, timed through the condensing boiler.
When I need hot water in the bathroom and especially in the kitchen outside of that time, it feels like forever until hot water comes out of the tap. It’s very annoying, and we don’t have a consistent daily schedule here.
Now the question is, how can this be optimized?
My dad (an electrician) suggested decoupling the pump from the boiler and installing wireless outlets and wireless switches (in the bathrooms and kitchen).
I noticed that the company CIRCON also offers an intelligent version of a smart outlet.
It can also be controlled via FritzBox, but I don’t like the switches for that.
So now my question is, are there any disadvantages between wireless switches (e.g., DEWENWILS wireless outlets) and the CIRCON version?
The regular switches seem cheaper overall for four tapping points, you just have to press them each time... the CIRCON system is supposed to offer some intelligence to the actual function.
Can anyone share their experience or tips?
Thank you very much,
Micha

Then I turn it back and save myself the button, the circulation pump, the control unit, and so on. It does use some water, but we actually consume too little of it anyway. For our piping system, that's far from ideal, and the wastewater treatment plants also have to apply increasingly complex processes because there isn’t enough liquid flow anymore.
