Abstract: 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.
