You can also get these remote switches, and where the remote goes is just like mounting a switch plate to the wall. They are spendy but handy for these types of situations. I am running one for my light for the stairs.

@Sapphireho set me straight on dimmer switches. Lutron is now my go-to.

that's incorrect.

i just did this at a remodel.

cassetta hardwired switch went into the closet, the wireless companion switch got mounted on the pocket door wall with the wallmount kit, with a standard wall plate. looks just like a typical wall switch when done.

edit; msg beat me to it!

Just sprinkle a few motion detectors around the house and never touch another light switch!

This. I did these in the bathroom in the last couple of houses in the master bath. It would turn on a rather soft light over the toilet so when I went in there a 3AM I could see and not be blinded by all the lights.
