  • Publication number: 20230276556
    Abstract: A device having a memory to store a setting for a load; an actuator to connect power to or disconnect power from the load; a user input device to adjust a first attribute of the load; a wireless communication interface to receive the setting; and a controller to generate a first control signal to set the first attribute and a second control signal to set a second attribute based on adjustment of the first attribute and the setting. A method for determining a first event, the first event associated with a first trigger and a first action; determining to perform the action associated with the first event in response to occurrence of the first trigger; generating a first control signal based on a user input; and generating a second control signal based on a relationship between the first and the second control signals. A method to program a switch.

  • Publication number: 20230050425
    Abstract: A wiring device includes a line input terminal configured to couple to a source of alternating current (AC) power and a charging circuit having an induction coil to propagate a magnetic charging field to emanate from the wiring device. The wiring device can be provided individually or in a kit with a wall plate configured for covering the wiring device. Magnet(s) can be provided proximate a front face of a housing of the wiring device, and/or included in/on a wall plate, to magnetically attract an electronic device when the electronic device is positioned proximate the front face. Such wall plates can be provided individually without a wiring device. Additionally or alternatively, a wall plate with or without magnets can include a shelf protruding from a bottom portion thereof, the shelf configured to support an electronic device in position of a front face of a housing of a wiring device.
