I would think it would be as simple as shunting past the relays so the
switch or outlet is always on and then controlling the loads via PLC or RF
off-the-shelf stuff.  You could always keep all relays energized, but why
waste the current if you can bypass them?  In any event, I believe it's
going to require creativity on the part of the OP.
