strung together this:

The only thing about using a relay, is that the solenoid coil in the relay
would
have to stay on in one position, when switched. If left for a long
period, the
coil may create enough heat to either the enamel on the coil and blow
fuses, or
to cause a fire in surrounding materials when the relay housing melts. I
personally don't think a relay is the way to go, unless you can source one
that
is designed to be left energised for long, long periods of time.

That's something I did briefly think about. You could use one of those
electronic relay alternative kits with no moving parts instead.

Covert all the switches to momentry and use an impulse relay
