Abstract
A user interface for an indoor light switch coupled to control an outdoor light having a sensor for controlling an on/off state of the outdoor light is disclosed. The user interface comprises a mode actuator moveable between an off position and a sensor position; and a control actuator enabling an adjustment of a setting of the sensor from the user interface, wherein the setting of the control actuator will affect the on/off state of the outdoor light when the mode actuator is in the sensor position.

A user interface for an indoor light switch coupled to control an outdoor light, the outdoor light having a sensor for controlling an on/off state of the outdoor light, the user interface comprising:
- a mode actuator moveable between an off position and a sensor position;
- and
- a control actuator enabling an adjustment of a setting of the sensor from the user interface, wherein the setting of the control actuator will affect the on/off state of the outdoor light when the mode actuator is in the sensor position.
A user interface for an indoor light switch coupled to control an outdoor light, the outdoor light having a sensor for controlling an on/off state of the outdoor light, the user interface comprising:
- a mode actuator moveable between an off position, a sensor position, and an on position, wherein the mode actuator enables overriding the sensor when the mode actuator is moved to the on position;
- and
- a control actuator enabling an adjustment of a setting of the sensor, wherein the setting of the control actuator will affect the on/off state of the outdoor light when the mode actuator is in the sensor position.
A user interface for an indoor light switch coupled to control an outdoor light, the outdoor light having a sensor for controlling an on/off state of the outdoor light, the user interface comprising:
- a mode actuator moveable between an off position and a sensor position;
- a first control actuator enabling an adjustment of the sensitivity of the sensor, wherein the adjustment of the sensitivity of the sensor will affect turning on the outdoor light when the mode actuator is in the sensor position;
- and
- a second control actuator enabling an adjustment of the duration of an on time of the outdoor light when the mode actuator is in the sensor position.
