Abstract:
A modular assembly device controller comprises a user interface module, a load control module, and a mounting bracket. The user interface module receives user input and is easily interchangeable to suit the needs of the user. The user interface module can include one or more switches, control knobs, or other actuation devices, as well as feedback devices configured to provide the user with visual and/or audible indications. The load control module includes load control circuitry, a power supply, and a local receiver that is located within a home network employing a powerline communication protocol, and an RF communication protocol.

Claim (Index 17):
A method to receive and transmit data and commands over a home network, the method comprising:\n receiving with a mounting bracket, electrical power via electrical wiring from an electrical box that is mounted in a house; receiving with a user interface module, user input from a user, receiving with a load control module an indication of the user input from the user interface module, the user interface module configured to be removably attached to and in communication with the load control module; receiving with the load control module a powerline waveform from the electrical wiring, the mounting bracket configured to be attached to and in communication with the load control module; receiving with receiving circuitry of the load control module coded messages over a home network using at least a first communication protocol and a second communication protocol; transmitting with transmitting circuitry of the load control module the coded messages over the home network using the at least the first and second communication protocols, wherein the first communication protocol is propagated over a first communication medium and the second communication protocol is propagated over a second communication medium that is different from the first communication medium; receiving with processing circuitry of the load control module the indication of the user input, to process the coded messages; providing with the processing circuitry control signals responsive to at least one of the indication of the user input and the coded messages; and changing with load control circuitry of the load control module an operation of a device responsive to the control signals.
