I suspect most high-end homes will have higher capacity disposers. The obvious solution is a Diva styled mechanical switch, but a Diva switch next to a Maestro tap paddle sometimes is not the most aesthetically pleasing. You might look at a legacy Lutron product: Lyneo LX-1PSL. It is rated for 1 HP motor loads, but as a legacy product, it might not be readily available in the color you need. Please post if you find a better solution.
