Multi-gang capacitive touch switch plate

An apparatus, comprising:

• two or more communicatively interconnected and power sharing sensor assemblies;
• a cover plate, mounted adjacent to the sensor assemblies to entirely cover the sensor assemblies, through which user commands are transmittable;
• and
• a wall box, onto which the sensor assemblies and the cover plate are mountable, to house one or more devices, each device being controllable by the sensor assemblies in accordance with the user commands, and each device being disposed to fit within the wall box and to be in signal communication with at least one of the sensor assemblies.

A multi-gang electrical wall box to which two or more communicatively interconnected and power sharing sensor assemblies and a cover plate entirely covering the sensor assemblies through which user commands are transmittable are mountable, the multi-gang electrical wall box comprising:

• a housing in which a housing space is defined;
• one or more devices, disposed to fit within the housing space, each of which is configured to control an electrical load in accordance with the user commands;
• and
• a communication system to enable signal communication between at least one of the two or more sensor assemblies of the cover plate assembly and the one or more devices.
