I would like to be able to control the lights with both the remote and the existing wall switch. I believe that I can achieve this by wiring the red wire from the switch to connection A, see attached diagram. Would back feeding the blue wire cause any damage to the receiver?
Thank you

Back-feeding the receiver's blue output is unsafe. Connection A looks like the receiver's light output. It is designed to supply the light.
It is not designed to receive switched power. By the way, I think it will be better if you attach the diagram in a JPEG or PNG format in the body of the original question.
