Abstract: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide local and/or remote control for one or more connected loads or remote appliances. A load control device includes controls for switching and varying the power to associated loads and also includes communication components for remote operations. A user interface device includes a configurable and user customizable interface to communicate control instructions to the load control device. The load control device and the user interface device may be installed as a single unit, mechanically and electrically coupled together, or they may be installed remote from each other. Accordingly, the load control device and the user interface device include wired and wireless communication capabilities.

Abstract: A method and system for establishing a communication session between a plurality of communication terminals in an intercom system is disclosed. One of the communication terminals is associated with a room, dwelling, residence, or building structure and is configured to generate a request for establishing a communication session with one or more other mobile communication terminals associated with the room, dwelling, residence, or building structure. The communication session includes one or more of transmission and reception of one or more of an audio, a video, a multimedia, an image, a text and any other form of data that may be transmitted and received by the plurality of communication terminals. The communication session may include transmission and reception of one or more signals such as, but not limited to, an audio, a video, a multimedia, an image, a text and any other form of data by the plurality of communication terminals.
