You can easily test my second suggestion without buying a remote volume control. Using the IP Control app with the 218 just set the analogue output to fixed and feed the B&Os (hopefully not deafening!). Then vary the SpeakerLink output in the usual way down to zero. If the B&Os stay on then all you need is a remote volume control (£13.67 here in UK, from China on eBay) interposed between the 218 analogue out and the B&Os and you will have what you are seeking.
