  • Patent number: 10885754
    Abstract: Integrating a direct current (DC) voltage motion sensing alarm with an alternating current (AC) voltage light source is presented herein. A wall switch box can comprise a voltage conversion component that generates a DC voltage from an AC voltage that is higher in magnitude than the DC voltage, a motion sensing component detects a motion of an object using the DC voltage, and a security component that generates, based on the motion using the DC voltage, an alarm signal that has been encoded according to an encryption strength of a communication protocol corresponding to a transmission of the alarm signal from the wall switch box. In one aspect, a communication expansion component can wirelessly transmit, using the DC voltage based on control information specifying the communication protocol, the alarm signal according to the encryption strength. In another aspect, the encryption strength can correspond to at least 2128 combinations.

  • Patent number: 10460580
    Abstract: Integrating a direct current (DC) voltage motion sensing alarm with an alternating current (AC) voltage light source is presented herein. An apparatus can include a voltage conversion component that generates, within a wall switch box, a DC voltage from an AC voltage that is higher in magnitude than the DC voltage, and a motion sensing component that detects, from the wall switch box using the DC voltage, a motion of an object. The motion sensing component can detect the motion using an infrared and/or ultrasonic based DC sensor. The apparatus can further include a security component that generates, from the wall switch box using the DC voltage, an alarm signal and/or wireless alarm signal based on the motion, and a power component that switches, from the wall switch box using the DC voltage based on the motion, the AC voltage from a first contact to a second contact.
