Switch terminal methods with wiring components secured to circuitry wiring without external live points of contact

Abstract

A method is provided for controlling a first switch terminal or equivalent of a building occupied by one or more building occupants. One or more switch terminals are provided at a system including a plurality of switch terminal parameters for a switch terminal relative to the building. A first computer system is coupled to the first switch terminal or equivalent of the building at a first location of the building. A first plurality of sensors is coupled to the first switch terminal or equivalent and the first computer system. At least a portion of the sensors are configured to provide signal data to the first computer system. The first computer system produces a command or data output that relates to at least one of: a command output for a local control system, a command output for a different system, a data output for a different system and a command output for a non-local device or a data output that is a non-local device. Each of an output includes learned data from that is based on a machine intelligence from previous data collected about patterns of a building occupant and used to provide an adaptive control system for the building. A locking mechanism is configured to couple wiring components to circuitry wiring without live points of contact.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
