Claim 13:
14. A base assembly for a wall-mountable control device, the base assembly comprising:
a sensor layer comprising one or more sensors;
a control module being operable to control a set of devices based on sensor data received from the one or more sensors; and
an exterior panel disposed over the sensor layer, the exterior panel being assembled onto the base assembly upon installation of the base assembly;
wherein the control module is configured to:
detect, using the one or more sensors of the sensor layer, a first touch input performed by a user on a first region of the exterior panel;
in response to detecting the first touch input being performed on the first region, perform each of (i) determine a first set of characteristics for the first touch input, (ii) interpret the first touch input as a first command based on the first set of characteristics, and (iii) transmit the first command to control a first device of the set of devices;
in response to detecting a second touch input being performed on a second region of the exterior panel, perform each of (i) determine a second set of characteristics for the second touch input, the second set of characteristics being different than the first set of characteristics, (ii) interpret the second touch input as a second command based on the second set of characteristics, and (iii) transmit the second command to the first device or to a second device of the set of devices; and
wherein the control module implements a calibration or sensitivity adjustment when interpreting at least one of the first touch input or the second touch input, based at least in part on a respective location of the first touch input or the second touch input.
