Default Relocating light switches virtually?

I have a set of outdoor flood lights controlled from two switches next
to a sliding glass door in our family room. The issue is that we no
longer use that door and it will soon be replaced entirely with a bay
window.

We would like to control the lights from the sliding door area in the
kitchen which is how we get in and out of our backyard. However, the
wiring to the family room is a bit complex and would be a real pain to
re-run to the kitchen area.

That got me thinking that perhaps there's a way to remotely operate
those switches from a panel in the kitchen so that no re-wiring would
be needed.

Is that possible or is there a better way?
