ᐅ Lighting control with dimmer actuator and wireless switch

Hello,
I am currently renovating an old house.
Two rooms are being combined into one large room.
In this now large room, there are two lamps that should be dimmable.
The lamps should be regular lamps, not smart home lamps or similar.

I am considering installing a wireless dimmer directly at each lamp and then placing suitable wireless switches at the doors.
The switches can/should be battery-powered (stick-on). A remote control would also be useful, allowing the lamps to be controlled from the couch.

Could you help me by suggesting which systems or manufacturers would be suitable for this?

Thank you very much for your help.

Well, that is quite automated... But I think controlling it via an app matches your idea.
However, it doesn’t matter—I was thinking about a possible connection to, for example, Alexa or similar.
If I understand correctly, the Eltako devices are not compatible with that, right!?

If I understand correctly, this is a perfect use case for Hue, right? What could be the downside?

In our case (an older building), the light switch in the children's room was too high, so we simply used a lamp and a switch from Philips, and the problem was solved without any DIY modifications.

In principle, yes, but I don’t want to use a Hue lamp/light. It should work with any regular lamp.
