Anyway to control wall sconces individually?

I have a few wall sconces that I would like to control. They are all on the same run, so I can't put individual switches.
Is there a dimmable module I can put in between the line and the light fixture that would allow me to control each one individually?

I am currently using zwave but if only available with other, I would look at that.

Thanks
 
You could maybe put the sconces on micro controllers and use a multiple button wall switch?  Just a guess.

Jeff Goldblum commercial for GE Link Light is pretty good, as far as commercials go.

Get a ISY994i home automation unit with zwave module to support your existing HA items.
 
I am mostely familiar with insteon, but they, too, have a micro module that fits into the wall box.  Put one at each sconce, and one has instant individual control.  Still, if you are mostely z-wave, the pete_c solution might be better in your case.
 
Here utilize UPB for all of my in wall light switches.
 
Just recently updated many switches to multipaddle and dual load.
 
There are lighting modules for UPB that would work.

I have no real comments on GE other than noticing that Electrolux purchased them.
 
In the last few years Electrolux stuff has been junk.
 
More "junk" to chose from. ;)
 
GE commercial above is funny though.
 
I bought some  of the GE/Jasco stuff when Radio Shack was closing it out.  It's workable in a lot of instances, but the higher end stuff is much more consistent.  Based on my experience, my advice would always be to go with the brands that are a bit more expensive, but carry the reputation of working well.  As always, there's no free lunch.
 
Lutron also makes an RF softswitch, it's designed to be plugged into one of the holes in the side of a junction box.  It becomes an addressable dimmer like any of the other RA2 devices.
