you'll need to wire relay arrays to do this the right way.
If you have no knowledge of wiring relays, or any other electrical circuits, you may wish to have someone with experience assist you or do this for you.
Also read the section on this site regarding relays, and diodes too, since you'll want isolating diodes in this array too I'd think.

good luck
