Make take a little investigation, but I don't see why that wouldn't work.  To get the light to come on when the switch is on, feed
the power to the "load" terminal for the switch (which I assume would be A1, but best to check with an ohmmeter or buzz box); then
connect the other "load" terminal to neutral (and the actual load to the "common").

But before you try that, make sure there is never a direct connection between "B1" and the other two terminals!
