Hi Ghost,

Do you mean "Wall plates" or switches?

If switches, do you mean momentary contact?

And if no -- eg Single-Pole, Single-Throw (SPST) toggle --  how will you
'automate' them?

Is momentary contact, how will you locally track the state? ( LED? Or)

One can make a simple momentary contact switch on a wall late using a
standard blank wall plate from a electrical or building store and momentary
contacts switches from any of many different retail, industrial, wholesale
and surplus suppliers.

Here's some examples of SPST momentary pushbuttons that are readily mounted
on a standard blank switch plate:
