Claims20
A wall-mounted light switch comprising a sensor module and at least one controlling module, wherein the sensor module is configured to detect a first gesture of a given first set of touchless gestures of a user, and wherein the at least one controlling module is configured to control an electrical device different from the light source according to the detected first gesture.
A wall-mounted light switch comprising a sensor module and at least one controlling module, wherein the sensor module is configured to detect a first gesture of a given first set of touchless gestures of a user, and wherein the at least one controlling module is configured to control a light source according to the detected first gesture, wherein the controlling module comprises a wireless communication module adapted to control the light source wirelessly, wherein the sensor module is further configured to detect a second gesture of a given second set of touchless gestures of a user and a second controlling module, wherein the second controlling module is configured to control an electrical device different from the light source according to the detected second gesture, wherein the second controlling module comprises a communication module configured to control the electrical device wirelessly, and wherein the sensor module comprises at least one of a touchless sensor and a proximity sensor.
A wall-mounted light switch comprising:
- a sensor module, a first controlling module, and a second controlling module,
- wherein the sensor module comprises infrared, capacitive, radar, Doppler effect, sonar, hall effect, optical, image, inductive, magnetic and ultrasonic-based sensor and the sensor module is configured to detect a first gesture of a given first set of touchless gestures of a user and a second gesture of a given second set of touchless gestures of a user and a second controlling module,
- wherein the first controlling module is configured to control a light source according to the detected first gesture, and comprises a wireless communication module adapted to control the light source wirelessly,
- wherein the second controlling module is configured to control one or more of a blind, a shade, a door, a marquise, a water valve, a heating, an air conditioning according to the detected second gesture, and the second controlling module comprises a communication module configured to control the electrical device wirelessly.
