Abstract: A smart light switch includes a housing, a light actuator, and a processor and memory. The processor is adapted to selectively turn an electrical load on and off in accordance with a programmed set of light activation rules stored in memory. The processor is operable to determine whether the smart light switch is in an On or Off state and create a historical record of the On or Off state of the smart light switch over time. A user is selectively able to place the smart light switch in a vacation mode. The processor suspends the programmed set of light activation rules, determines a probability that the smart light switch would have been turned on based upon the historical record, and probabilistically activates and deactivates the smart light switch for a period of time based upon the historical record while the smart light switch was not in vacation mode.

Abstract: A smart light switch includes a housing, a light actuator located within the housing, and a processor and memory. The processor and memory are operably connected and located within the housing. The processor is adapted to selectively turn an electrical load on and off in accordance with a program schedule stored in memory. The smart light switch further includes a data communications module operable to provide data communication across a wireless network to a remote device. The program schedule includes time periods and a set of light activation rules for each time period. The smart light switch is operable to receive the time periods from a remote device having a different set of rules than the set of light activation rules for the smart light switch.
