Claim 18:
19. A computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a control circuit of a control device, cause the control circuit to:
detect a change in a characteristic of one or more touch sensitive pads that are located behind an actuation member of the control device; and
start a non-contact actuation blanking period in response to detecting the change in the characteristic that exceeds a touch-in threshold, and ignore inputs received from the touch sensitive pads in response to non-contact actuations during the non-contact actuation blanking period; or
start an active touch mode blanking period in response to a tactile actuation of the actuation member to turn on or off a lighting load, and ignore inputs received from the touch sensitive pads in response to touch actuations and non-contact actuations during the active touch mode blanking period.
