A remote control device is provided that is configured for use in a load control system that includes one or more electrical loads. The remote control device includes a mounting structure and a control unit, and the control unit is configured to be attached to the mounting structure in a plurality of different orientations. The control unit includes a user interface, an orientation sensing circuit, and a communication circuit. The control unit is configured to determine an orientation of the control unit via the orientation sensing circuit. The control unit is also configured to translate a user input from the user interface into control data to control an electrical load of the load control system based on the orientation of the control unit and/or provide a visual indication of an amount of power delivered to the electrical load based on the orientation of the control unit.

An electrical load control device such as, for example, an electrical switch is disclosed. In use, the electrical device includes a manual switch or mechanical actuator positioned with an opening or aperture of a front cover of the device, the manual switch or actuator being arranged and configured to manipulate a connected load. The electrical device includes one or more geometries, surface features, or spacers arranged and configured within the aperture of the front cover. During use, the geometries, surfaces features, or spacers are arranged and configured to interact with the manual switch or actuator to reposition and/or align the switch or actuator within the aperture so that a consistent and uniform gap or spacing is maintained between the outer perimeter of the switch or actuator and the inner surface of the aperture. In one embodiment, the geometries, surfaces features, or spacers may be positioned within one or more of the corners of the aperture.

A slider assembly is for an electrical switch having an upper housing. The slider assembly includes a slider mechanism structured to be disposed on an exterior surface of the upper housing and a shutter structured to be disposed in an interior of said upper housing and to be coupled to said slider mechanism. The shutter includes a number of biasing members structured to engage and apply a bias force against interior sidewalls of said upper housing, thereby creating a friction force associated with movement of said slider mechanism.

An electronic product, including: a housing, where an air vent is disposed on the housing; a PCB board that is located inside the housing, where a positive electrode and a negative electrode of a power supply are disposed on the PCB board; a fan that is located between the PCB board and the housing; and a switch bar that is located between the fan and the housing and is connected to the housing in a sliding manner, where the switch bar has a first state and a second state, where the switch bar includes a conductive area, when the switch bar is set to the first state, the conductive area is electrically connected to the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the power supply on the PCB board, the fan starts to run.

An apparatus includes communication circuit; an actuator electrically coupled with the communication circuit; and a switch engagement component mechanically coupled with the actuator. The apparatus is configured for mounting adjacent to a switch (e.g., a rocker switch, a toggle switch, a button switch, etc.). The communication circuit is configured to activate the actuator in response to one or more instructions received by the communication circuit. The actuator is configured to rotate the switch engagement component. Rotating the switch engagement component while the switch is in a first state places the switch in a second state that is distinct from the first state.

Remote control devices may control electrical loads and/or load control devices of a load control system without accessing electrical wiring. The remote control device may be mounted over a mechanical switch that is installed in a multi-gang wallbox adjacent to a second electrical device, such as another mechanical switch or an electrical receptacle. The second electrical device may be recessed with respect to the remote control device and may be brought forward towards a front surface of the adapter by loosening a first set of screws that attach a yoke of the second electrical device to the multi-gang wallbox, and tightening a second set of screws that attach the adapter to the yoke of the second electrical device. The remote control device may comprise one or more configurable attachment members for attaching the adapter to the yoke of the mechanical switch and/or to the yoke of the second electrical device.

A control device may be configured to control one or more electrical loads in a load control system. The control device may be a wall-mounted device such as dimmer switch, a remote control device, or a retrofit remote control device. The control device may include a gesture-based user interface for applying advanced control over the one or more electrical loads. The types of control may include absolute and relative control, intensity and color control, preset, zone, or operational mode selection, etc. Feedback may be provided on the control device regarding a status of the one or more electrical loads or the control device.
