Abstract: An emitter assembly for a lighting device may comprise a substrate, one or more emitters mounted to a surface of the substrate, a first dome portion formed on the surface of the substrate and encapsulating the one or more emitters, and a second dome portion located above the first dome portion. The first and second dome portions may both be made of materials that are optically transmissive. The second dome portion may have a shape that may be configured to direct light from the emitters in a particular direction. The emitter assembly may comprise a barrier located on the surface of the substrate and surrounding the emitters. The barrier and the surface of the substrate may define a recess in which the first dome portion is located. The emitter assembly may further comprise an adhesive that may be located between and attach the first and second dome portions.

Abstract: A load control system may include a network of devices configured to communicate with one another. The load control system may include control devices configured to operate as a leader device or another router device on the network. The control device may process advertisement messages from other router devices in the network. The control device may receive advertisement messages from non-leader router devices and compare the device identifier and the sequence number in the advertisement messages with the device identifier and the sequence number in previously-received advertisement messages from the non-leader router devices. The control device may process each advertisement message received with a different sequence identifier or a different device identifier than previously received advertisement messages from the non-leader router devices. The control device may ignore each advertisement message received with the same sequence identifier from the same non-leader router device as a previously received advertisement message.

Abstract: A low-deflection roller tube of a motorized roller shade may include a first tube and a second tube that is attached to the first tube. The first tube may be configured to operably couple to the motor drive unit of the roller shade. The second tube may comprise a plurality of carbon fiber layers additively constructed on the first tube, and may be fabricated such that first and second longitudinal portions of the roller tube exhibit different material stiffness characteristics from each other. The first and second portions of the roller tube may be made of carbon fiber material having different tensile moduli. Layers of carbon fiber material in the first portion may be staggered with layers of carbon fiber material in the second portion at an interface between the first and second portions.

Abstract: A control device configured for use in a load control system to control one or more electrical loads external to the control device may include a first switch member and a second switch member. The control device may include an actuation member having an upper portion and a lower portion. The actuation member may be configured to actuate the first switch member and the second switch member in response to tactile actuations of the upper portion and the lower portion. The actuation member may include first and second pivot arms that enable the actuation member to pivot about a pivot axis in response to the tactile actuations. The first pivot arm may define a notch. The control device may comprise a light pipe configured to conduct light emitted by a light source through the notch to a light indicator located on the bezel.

The broken lines immediately adjacent to the surfaces with shade lines represent boundaries of the claimed design; all other broken lines show portions of the illuminated antenna cover that form no part of the claimed design.
The claimed design includes gray shaded elements which represent illumination. Within a gray shaded element, the gradations of dark gray to light gray represent illumination of varying brightness or intensity, darker gray shading representing greater brightness and lighter gray shading representing lesser brightness.

In the first embodiment, the gray shaded elements of FIGS. 1-3 and 7-9 represent illumination in a first color, and the gray shaded elements of FIGS. 4-6 and 10-12 represent illumination in a second color.
In the second embodiment, the gray shaded elements of FIGS. 13-15 and 22-24 represent illumination in a first color, the gray shaded elements of FIGS. 16-18 and 25-27 represent illumination in a second color, and the gray shaded elements of FIGS. 19-21 and 28-30 represent illumination in a third color.

Abstract: A wireless control device, such as a system controller for a load control system, may comprise a light-transmissive cover for an antenna that may be illuminated to provide feedback to a user of the load control system. The light-transmissive cover may receive light energy from a light-generating circuit to provide a visible display of the light energy. The wireless control device may be mounted to, for example, a ceiling, and the light-transmissive cover may extend from the wireless control device (e.g., down from the ceiling). The light-transmissive cover may be viewed by a user at large viewing angles and at a distance away from the wireless control device, which may simplify and improve reliability of commissioning of the load control system as well as speed up troubleshooting of the load control system after commissioning is completed.

Abstract: Motorized window treatments may each adjust a position of a covering material to allow light into a space in a building. The control information for controlling the motorized window treatments may be stored and/or accessed to understand how the motorized window treatments are operating. The control information may indicate a control state and/or a position of the covering material when an identified daylight intensity is being received at the space. The control information may inform a user of the operation of the motorized window treatments and allow the user to adjust various control parameters by which the motorized window treatments may be controlled. Recommended adjustments may also be provided to the user based on a user-identified problem with the operation of the motorized window treatments. The recommended adjustments to the control parameters may be accepted by the user and may be stored for being accessed and/or edited.
