WIRELESS ENABLED LOAD CONTROL DEVICE WITH VOICE CONTROLLER

A wireless enabled load control device having integrated voice control is disclosed. The load control device may be connected to a variety of local and remote devices, including lighting devices and smart appliances, as well as various cloud service platforms. The load control device may receive a voice command from a user. The load control device may transmit the voice command to a first cloud service platform for processing to determine an instruction included in the voice command. The determined instruction may be provided to a second cloud service platform connected to the first cloud service platform. The first and second cloud service platforms may be connected to a device to be controlled based on the voice command. The cloud service platforms can adjust an operation of the device based on the determined instruction.

THIN-FILM ELECTRIC SWITCH
20240006135 · 2024-01-04 ·

A thin-film electric switch applicable to a surface of an electrical system having at least two electrical connections has a slider element having a flexible main body having an upper surface and a lower surface and a portion of conductive material, a first flexible sheet having an upper surface, a lower surface and a first through opening defining a housing for the flexible main body, a second flexible sheet having an upper surface and a lower surface, positioned on the first flexible sheet to at least partially overlap the first through opening and retain the flexible main body inside the first through opening. The slider element slides inside the first through opening assuming a first operating position in which the portion of conductive material connects the at least two electrical connections to each other and a second operating position in which the portion of conductive material does not connect the at least two electrical connections.

ELECTRICAL/MECHANICAL SWITCHING MODULE

An electrical/mechanical switching having a first terminal and a second terminal. The first terminal is a neutral terminal and has a first terminal power engagement tab and a first terminal engagement tab with a first terminal copper dimple. The second terminal is a neutral terminal and has a second terminal mating engagement tab and a second terminal engagement tab with a second terminal copper dimple. A cam member is provided proximate the first terminal engagement tab and is movable between a first position and a second position to move the first terminal engagement tab into electrical and mechanical engagement with the second terminal engagement tab. An opening projection is provided proximate the first terminal engagement tab and the second terminal engagement tab and is movable between a first position and a second position to separate the first terminal engagement tab and the second terminal engagement tab.

Dark-current-circuit interruption structure and electrical junction box including same

Provided is a novel dark-current-circuit interruption structure that can stably maintain the state of engagement of an engaging portion of a conductive component holder with an engaged portion of a case, while reducing the size of the case, and an electrical junction box including the same. A conductive component is formed by a plate metal fitting, a conductive component holder 48 includes elastic projecting pieces and engaging portions that are provided on each of a pair of side walls that are opposingly positioned with a gap between the plate metal fitting and each of the side walls, and the case includes engaged portions with which the engaging portions are to be engaged. When attaching the conductive component holder to the case, the engaging portions and the engaged portions are configured to come into contact with each other to cause the elastic projecting pieces 68 and 76 to elastically deform.

Switch module

A switch module includes an outer shell, a button and a bracket. The button is disposed to the outer shell. The button has a base board. One side of a bottom surface of the base board is recessed in the upward direction to form an avoiding groove. A rear of the bottom surface of the base board protrudes in the downward direction to form a driving pillar. The bracket is disposed under the button. A top surface of the bracket is recessed in the downward direction to form an accommodating groove. A top surface of a bottom wall of the accommodating groove is defined as a stopping surface. The driving pillar projects beyond the stopping surface. A front end of the top surface of the bottom wall of the accommodating groove is recessed downward to form an avoiding plane.
