  • Patent number: 9743497
    Abstract: A wireless load control system is provided including one or more wireless switch components and one or more load controller components optionally in one-to-one, many-to-many, many-to-one, and one-to-many wireless communication with each other. A wirelessly-controlled load controller assembly includes an enclosure adapted to fit within a junction box, the enclosure comprising a projecting fitting adapted to fit through an aperture of the junction box to maintain the enclosure in fixed relation to the junction box. A control circuit in the enclosure is provided with an antenna that extends through an antenna port that is disposed within the fitting so that when the load controller is mounted in a junction box, the antenna extends through the aperture of the junction box.

  • Publication number: 20110195664
    Abstract: A wireless control system is provided for remotely controlling various modules of a spa. The control system comprises a wireless interface for receiving a combination of communication signals containing control data and BLUETOOTH signals from a remote wireless device. The communication signals contain at least control data for controlling the various modules of the spa and the BLUETOOTH signals contain media data such as streaming audio data. The communication signals can be transmitted using Wi-Fi, GSM or CDMA protocols. The control system further comprises a wired interface connected to the various modules of the spa and in communication with the wireless interface. The wired interface controls the various modules of the spa in response to the control data.
