Aren't relays pretty standard technology for such purpose. And you can have software or basic logic to control such relays.

Next step would be to add wireless connection to the logic controlling the relays.

I should have said remote-monitor and remote-reset circuit breakers, and not mixed in the issue of wired lighting control.

Generally for protecting wiring you need circuit breakers which will operate without relying on software.
