Switch conversion apparatus

A switch conversion apparatus, comprising:

• an interface device;
• a mounting plate configured to mount to a toggle switch and including at least one aperture for receiving a toggle arm of a toggle switch;
• an actuator plate configured to slidably engage the mounting plate and including at least one aperture for receiving and engaging a toggle arm of a toggle switch when engaged by the interface device so as to transition the state of the switch;
• one or more channels for slidably engaging the mounting plate and the actuator plate;
• a linkage and a release linkage configured to communicate with the interface device;
• an over-center spring configured to engage the actuator plate at a first end;
• and
• a return spring configured to engage the actuator plate at a second end,
• wherein the interface device is configured to engage the actuator plate by communicating with the linkage and return linkage to engage the over-center and return springs thereby biasing the actuator plate.
