Abstract:
A controller comprises a controllably conductive device adapted to be coupled in series electrical connection between an AC power source and a load control device. The controller also comprises a control circuit coupled to the controllably conductive device for rendering the controllably conductive device conductive each half-cycle of the AC power source to generate a phase-control voltage. The control circuit is operable to render the controllably conductive device conductive for a portion of each half-cycle of the AC power source. The control circuit is operable to transmit a digital message to the load control device for controlling the power delivered to the load by encoding digital information in timing edges of the phase-control voltage, where the phase-control voltage having at least one timing edge in each half-cycle of the AC power source when the control circuit is transmitting the digital message to the load control device.

Claim (Index 2):
The load control device of  claim 1 , wherein the control circuit is operable to detect a number of sequential data patterns of the phase-control voltage, each data pattern having a first timing edge at a reference edge time during a first half-cycle and a second timing edge at a data edge time during a second subsequent half cycle, the control circuit operable to measure an offset time period between the reference edge time and the data edge time of each data pattern, and to decode a digital message from the controller based on the measured offset time periods in each of the sequential data patterns, the control circuit operable to control the power delivered to the load in response to the digital message.
