Separate wall switches require an additional load wire; if you have separate switches already then you have one, otherwise you probably don’t.
If you don’t want to run new wire, the Home Decorators Wink controller is a good solution; it installs in the canopy, you would just need to make sure to have a Zigbee repeater nearby since the range is terrible.
Another option, since you already have an IR receiver, would be to use a Harmony Hub to integrate that receiver; if you have other devices in the same room that are IR controlled then you could potentially use it to automate those as well. I don’t have any personal experience with that but if you search you can find plenty of folks here who are using it.
