Do you know any programming? This is one of those rare occasions when
something like a BASIC Stamp might fit the bill.

You mean an embedded processor could fit the bill to emulate a toggle
switch? No, I think he needs an ASIC.

Actually, simply using a latching switch would do it. Also, there are
such things as latching relays, so using the right switch would even
allow for programmed operation, and would also provide the proper device
for the job, particularly if power levels beyond simple logic circuits
are needed to be controlled.
