Abstract:
1. An electrical wiring device, comprising: a microcontroller communicably coupled to at least one load, an occupancy detection sensor communicably coupled to the microcontroller, the occupancy detection sensor sending one or more signals to the microcontroller to allow the microcontroller to determine occupancy within a monitored area; and at least one accessible user interface communicably coupled to the microcontroller, wherein the electrical wiring device is operable in a plurality of operating modes, wherein the microcontroller processes the one or more signals from the occupancy detection sensor based on the operating mode selected, and controls the load based on the operating mode selected, wherein the accessible user interface is accessible to an end-user without any portion of the device being disassembled, and wherein the operating modes are selected by manipulating the accessible user interface.
