Abstract: A control device that can be mounted against the face plate of a rocker switch automatically operates the rocker switch in accordance with at least one predetermined program. The device also allows the predetermined program to be overridden to manipulate the switch as desired without removing the device. The device includes a controller for activating the device according to parameters of the predetermined program; a power component that is responsive to the controller; and a rotating member that is rotated by the power component with respect to the switch. The rotating member includes an inclined plane extending from a surface thereof and adapted to abut the rocker. When the inclined plane abuts a first portion of the rocker, the switch is placed in an opened position, and when the inclined plane abuts a second portion of the rocker, the switch is placed in a closed position.

Abstract: A control device that can be mounted against the face plate of a rocker switch automatically operates the rocker switch in accordance with at least one predetermined program. The device also allows the predetermined program to be overridden to manipulate the rocker switch as desired without removing of the device. The device includes a controller for activating the device according to parameters of the predetermined program; a power component that is responsive to the controller; and a plate that is moved by the power component with respect to the switch. The plate has a finger adapted to abut the rocker. When the finger abuts of a first portion of the rocker, the switch is placed in an opened position, and when the finger abuts a second portion of the rocker, the switch is placed in a closed position.

Abstract: A control device for controlling the time sequence activation of a wall mounted toggle switch is mounted directly to the toggle switch cover plate. The device is then programmed to turn the switch on and off in accordance with the programmed entry instructions. A sliding plate within the device contacts and moves the toggle into its on and off position in accordance with the program. The housing of the device defines an opening large enough for the toggle to be manually manipulated without removal of any components of the device.
