Abstract
A mounting bracket for coupling a control device to a wall box is disclosed. The mounting bracket may include a body having an inner perimeter defining an opening. A plurality of flanges may extend into the opening. Each flange of the plurality of flanges may be configured to be engaged by an arm of a faceplate for coupling the faceplate to the mounting bracket.
Claims27
A control device for controlling power delivered to an electrical load, the control device comprising:
- a faceplate subassembly including a front surface, an opposed rear surface, and an attachment member, the attachment member including at plurality of arms extending away from the rear surface of the faceplate subassembly;
- a main control module configured to cause power delivered to an electrical load to be adjusted in response to an actuation of a button;
- and
- a mounting bracket comprising a body defining an opening, the body including a plurality of flanges with each flange of the plurality of flanges extending into the opening,
- wherein the mounting bracket is configured to be coupled to the main control module, and
- wherein each arm of the plurality of arms of the attachment member is configured to engage a respective flange of the body of the mounting bracket for coupling the faceplate subassembly to the mounting bracket.

A control device, comprising:
- a faceplate subassembly, comprising:
- a faceplate, wherein the faceplate comprises a front surface and an opposed rear surface, and an opening extending between the front surface and the rear surface, the opening defined by a sidewall;
- a button disposed in the opening such that a gap exists between the button and the sidewall defining the opening;
- and
- a local control module coupled to the faceplate, the local control module comprising a circuit board positioned adjacent to the rear surface of the faceplate, such that depression of the button actuates a contact on the circuit board;
- a main control module subassembly comprising a body and a main control module configure to be electrically connected to the local control module and configured to:
- cause power delivered to an electrical load to be adjusted in response to an actuation of the button;
- and
- control at least one light source to illuminate the gap between the button and the sidewall defining the opening;
- and
- a mounting bracket configured to be coupled to the main control module subassembly and the faceplate subassembly, the mounting bracket comprising a body defining an opening and including at least one flange that extends into the opening for coupling the faceplate subassembly to the mounting bracket.
