Control House with DMX

So it's not really house lights, but fixed LED lights above stage that are currently controlled by a switch on the wall.

I'm going to try and explain what I'm looking for here. We have almost completed a remodel of our youth room - we have a set of 8 LED lights that are controlled by a small DMX board. There are some non-DMX lights mounted above the state that are controlled by a switch on the wall near the stage. I'm looking for a way to control these light with the DMX board so that we can easily do blackouts and have a greater control of general lighting on the stage.
We would still like to be able to control these lights with the wall switch if possible, but not completely necessary.

The lights above the stage are LED, though I'm not sure how much power they actually use.

We have no need to be able to dim these lights - just a simple on/off.

I tried searching for this, but I'm not sure what it is called or how to look for this. Do you guys know what it might be called, or have any recommendations on what to buy to wire this in? (we have an electrician in house, and would prefer for it to be hard wired)

Thanks in advance,
Jake

Wait, so they are LED lights? Or incandescent lights? Or small cans with LED lamps in them?

They are LED lights that run off Edison power on a track.

What you are looking for is a DMX controlled Relay.
