Bi-directional TVS diode for driving a contactor

Borderline r/AskElectricians, but I'm no electrician. I'm wanting to drive a contactor to isolate a random load (upstream breakers are 35A) in order to automatically turn off a workshop circuit at night using HomeAssistant. Can I drive the 45A contactor using a normal light switch rated at only 8A?

What do I put in where that question mark lies in my diagram?

The light switch is solid-state so I'm guessing the contactor inductive coil load will kill it after a while? I would need 2 TVS diodes rated at over 380V, and connect them back to back? I'm allowing myself a resistor in line with the coil since the contactor coil should pull in at around 120VAC and stay with as low holding current. It would need to be at least a 2watt 50 Ohm resistor to not heat the resistor and the TVS diodes significantly if they ever did die on me? Or some better way to drive the contactor using a home-assistant/smart low power switch?
