Smart light switch with temperature sensing

A smart light switch comprising:

• a housing, the housing including a control block adapted to be operably connected to an electrical load;
• and
• a plurality of heat generating components, the plurality of heat generating components including:
• a light actuator located within the housing, the light actuator operable to be electrically connected with the electrical load and selectively turn the electrical load on and off;
• a processor and memory, the processor and memory being operably connected and located within the housing, the processor being adapted to selectively turn the electrical load on and off;
• a data communications module operable to provide data communication across a wireless network to a remote device;
• and
• at least one environmental sensor being located within the housing, the environmental sensor operable to determine a measured temperature value within the housing;
• wherein the processor is operable to:
• i) receive as an input, the measured temperature value from the at least one environmental sensor;
• ii) receive as an input, a power consumption value from each of the plurality of heat generating components;
• iii) select a temperature offset value from a dataset of temperature offset values that is stored in memory, each temperature offset value stored in the dataset of temperature offset values being associated with a potential combination of power consumption inputs;
• and
• iv) determine a calibrated temperature value from the measured temperature value adjusted by the temperature offset values selected from the dataset of temperature offset values.
