An assembly for a wall-mounted or surface-mounted switch comprises a housing, a shell, and circuitry board. The housing comprises a base and a sidewall defining an interior space, a resilient arm projecting from the base into the interior space. The shell has a sidewall and is mounted to the housing to enclose the interior space. The interior of the shell includes a switch contact surface. The circuitry includes a switch such as a tactile or linear switch. The shell is movable from a disengaged position to an actuating position in response to force applied to the exterior of the shell. Applied force causes the switch contact surface to actuate the switch and the shell to deflect the resilient arm. When the applied force is removed, the resilient arm returns the shell to a neutral position.

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 switch device includes an operating knob on which a tilting operation is performed, a detected portion that tilts with the tilting operation of the operating knob, a detection portion that detects movement of the detected portion, and a substrate on which the detection portion is arranged. The detection portion is aligned in an in-plane direction of the substrate and performs a switching operation upon detection of movement of the detected portion in the in-plane direction.

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 wallbox. The remote control device may include a base, a battery, a battery holder, and a control unit. The base may be configured to attach the remote control device to the mechanical switch. The control unit may be configured to be removably attached to the base. The battery holder may be configured to retain the battery therein. The battery holder may be configured to be installed within the void defined by the housing. The battery holder may be operable between a first position in a lower portion of the void and a second position in an upper portion of the void.

The invention relates to the field of switches, and particularly provides a switch for a vehicle and a vehicle. The invention aims to solve the problem of an uneven gap between a switch and an interior trim panel of an existing vehicle. To this end, the vehicle according to the invention comprises a surface housing, the surface housing is provided with a groove, the switch is disposed in the groove, the switch comprises a pressing rod assembly, the pressing rod assembly comprises a rocking bar and a connecting piece, the rocking bar is rotatably connected to the connecting piece, and the connecting piece is fixedly connected to the groove. When the pressing rod assembly is installed, because no member for positioning the pressing rod assembly is available, the pressing rod assembly can be installed at any position in a transverse direction of the groove. Therefore, when the groove deviates due to the existence of tolerance, the position tolerance of the groove is absorbed by a position change of the pressing rod assembly, which is more conducive to adjusting a gap between the groove and the pressing rod assembly and can ensure uniformity of the gap between the groove and the pressing rod assembly.

A non-powered passive optomechanical position switch and an operational control system for controlling an apparatus using an optical fiber waveguide, the switch including an orientable structure supporting a plurality of reflective surfaces at the terminus of the optical fiber waveguide, wherein at least some of the reflective surfaces each uniquely manipulates one or more properties of light received from the optical fiber waveguide in reflecting light back through the optical fiber waveguide to an optocontrolling transceiver. Orienting the orientable structure relative to the terminus of the optical fiber determines which of the plurality of reflective surfaces is positioned at the terminus of the optical fiber waveguide, and thereby determines what properties of light are manipulated and reflected back to the optocontrolling transceiver, through the optical fiber waveguide thereby controlling an apparatus.
