Abstract
A light dimmer for smart homes includes a proximity switch for sensing whether a person is approaching a target area, and outputting sensing information in response to the sensing result; a controller connected to the proximity switch for generating a first control signal based on the sensing information; a display coupled to the controller, for generating a display based on the first control signal; a light dimming unit coupled to the controller, for adjusting the brightness of the illumination load based on a second control signal generated by the controller. This system is suitable for use in smart homes. By providing the proximity switch and the display, it can meet multifunctional needs of smart homes and enhance user experience.

A light dimmer for smart homes, comprising:
- a proximity switch, configured to sense whether a person is approaching a target area and outputting sensing information in response to a sensing result;
- a controller coupled to the proximity switch, configured to generate a first control signal based on the sensing information;
- a display coupled to the controller, configured to generate a display based on the first control signal;
- and
- a dimming unit coupled to the controller, configured to adjust a brightness of a lighting load based on a second control signal generated by the controller,
- wherein the controller is communicatively coupled to a mobile terminal and configured to generate the second control signal based on control information received from the mobile terminal, and
- wherein in an out-of-home mode, the controller is further configured to send reminder information to the mobile terminal based on the sensing information.
