Load Controller with Constant Power Mode

A load control device, comprising:

• a housing;
• an input interface supported by the housing;
• a line terminal at least partially retained in the housing;
• a load terminal at least partially retained in the housing;
• and,
• a controller electrically coupled to the input interface, the line terminal, and the load terminal, wherein the controller is configured to:
• receive a nominal line voltage at the line terminal;
• provide a nominal load voltage at the load terminal, wherein the nominal load voltage is substantially equivalent to the nominal line voltage;
• receive an input gesture from the input interface;
• generate a first formatted control signal, the generating based at least in part on the input gesture and an identity of a first controlled device electrically coupled to the load terminal;
• and
• modulate the first formatted control signal onto the nominal load voltage at the load terminal.

A method of controlling a plurality of controlled electronic devices, comprising:

• selecting, from a plurality of electronic device control modes associated with a control device, a smart-device mode for controlling a first controlled device;
• applying a first load voltage to a terminal electrically coupled to the first controlled device, wherein the first load voltage is held substantially constant;
• receiving a first input gesture at an input interface associated with the control device;
• identifying a first operational parameter associated with the first input gesture;
• generating a first formatted control signal, the generating based, at least in part, on the first operational parameter and an identity of the first controlled device;
• and
• transmitting the first formatted control signal wirelessly from the control device to the first controlled device.
