Abstract
An apparatus for a wireless switch. In some embodiments, the wireless switch includes an input device, a radio, a memory, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to place a mode selection indicator in an asserted state in response to a first manipulation of the input device, and to operate the wireless switch in a wireless mesh network communication mode in response to the mode selection indicator being placed in the asserted state.
Claims20
A wireless switch, the wireless switch comprising:
- an input device;
- a radio;
- a memory;
- and
- an electronic processor configured to:
- place a mode selection indicator in an asserted state in response to a first manipulation of the input device;
- load a first communication stack of a plurality of communication stacks into the memory in response to the first manipulation of the input device;
- and,
- operate the wireless switch in a communication mode associated with the first communication stack with the mode selection indicator being placed in the asserted state.
A method of selecting an operating mode for a wireless switch comprising:
- detecting, via an electronic processor of the wireless switch, a first manipulation of an input device of the wireless switch;
- placing, via the electronic processor, a mode selection indicator in an asserted state in response to detecting the first manipulation of the input device;
- loading a first communication stack of a plurality of communication stacks into the memory in response to the first manipulation of the input device;
- and,
- operating, via the electronic processor, the wireless switch in a communication mode associated with the first communication stack with the mode selection indicator being placed in the asserted state.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by an electronic processor, are configured to perform a set of functions, the set of functions comprising:
- detecting a first manipulation of an input device of a wireless switch;
- placing a mode selection indicator of the wireless switch in an asserted state in response to detecting the first manipulation of the input device;
- loading a first communication stack of a plurality of communication stacks into the memory in response to the first manipulation of the input device;
- and,
- operating the wireless switch in a communication mode associated with the first communication stack with the mode selection indicator being placed in the asserted state.
