Abstract: The present invention is an interactive control device that combines both functions of lighting and temperature control in one device. The interactive control device includes a thermometer and has power connections compatible to the line voltage wiring (typically 110-120 VAC) so that it may be connected to the electrical wiring in the same manner as a standard light switch. The interactive control device may also include sensors and/or cameras, or the ability to communicate with external sensors and/or cameras. The interactive control device is further capable of wirelessly communicating with remote devices, such as smart phones and tablets, appliances, alarm systems, sound systems, and locks.
