You can use physical keyswitches, or a Paxton access ‘energy saving’ card reader wired to a switch2 or net2 controller to isolate power.
In your case, you could just use a physical keyswitch, or simply re-locate the light switch in question to somewhere where it won’t be touched. (ie a closet or bedroom etc)

What about European light switches that don’t work like that?
