I wished this too, and got close enough by buying the Hue remote switches:

It turns out there are really only 3-4 different temperatures I use normally, and this allows you to switch between them. I also use the Hue timers so I frankly don't need to use this that often, but it's nice to be able to switch between both scenes and brightness levels without pulling out my phone (edit: and more importantly so people who aren't me can control the lights if they need).

It's not a perfect solution: there are still some annoyances with people forgetting to leave the main switch on and only use the mounted remote, but overall I am very happy with this system.

I use light switch covers. They just screw on over the switch, and have one side open so you can manually manipulate it if you want, but it prevents accidental state changes.
