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.

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.

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.

The invention relates to a remote-control device (14) which comprises a portable remote control (10) and a wall mounting (12), the portable remote control (10) comprising a housing (16) having a rear surface (40) and a front surface (42), located on either side of and at a distance from a median plane (M) of the housing (16), the housing (16) including a recess (48) open at least on the rear surface (40), the wall mounting (12) having a surface (28) for bearing against a wall along a bearing plane (P) and a head (24) projecting from the bearing plane (P), the head (24) penetrating into the recess (48) in an anchoring position of the portable remote control (10) so as to pass through the median plane (M) of the housing (16). The recess (48) is shaped so as to match the shape of the head (24). The head (24) projects in an upward oblique direction (D) relative to the bearing plane (P), and has at least one first oblique surface (34, 36) which, in anchoring position, is in surface contact with at least one first oblique wall (48.1, 48.2) of the recess (48). The recess (48) is preferably open on the front surface (42) of the housing (16) and forms a passage between the rear surface (40) and the front surface (42) of the housing (16), which thus forms an eyelet (46) defining the recess (48).
