Default WIFI/Bluetooth remote-controlled dimmer light switch

I quite fancy sitting at my desk in front of my (Linux) desktop
computer and controlling the mains lighting in my den. The existing
light switch is about 2-2.5 metres away from the computer. I envisage
a substitute light switch with a WIFI or Bluetooth controlled dimmer.

Does such a thing exist?


Yep, lots of them around.



Why not an ordinary IR Remote? Some can learn from any existing remote.
