Patent ID: 7656308

Claim:
A wireless light switch transmitter for use in a 3-way light switch circuit, comprising: a transmitter electrically connected to a receiver, both said transmitter and said receiver in said 3-way light switch circuit, said receiver controlling a load, said transmitter in continual and direct electrical connection with said receiver via a first traveler wire and a second traveler wire and further in direct connection with a controlled side of the load, the transmitter and receiver being directly connected to one of a hot side of an AC voltage source or a neutral side of the AC voltage source, the connection to the neutral side being made through the load and not through the receiver such that at least some voltage is maintained at all times between the first traveler wire and the second traveler wire, the at least some voltage being effective to provide a sufficient amount of power to operate an electronic component at the transmitter; said transmitter having an RF transmitter for transmitting RF signals including an address and data signal to said receiver and controlling the status of the load by the RF signals; a first on/off switch on said transmitter and a second on/off switch on said receiver and a first dim selection switch on said transmitter and a second dim selection switch on said receiver, said first on/off switch and said first dim selection switch electrically on said transmitter connected to said RF transmitter in order to electronically transmit the RF signals to said receiver.
