    Abstract: A temperature control system may include a temperature control device, an electrical wall box having a hole for passing a wire or cable into the wall box, and a gland configured to be inserted into the hole of the wall box. The temperature control device may include a temperature sensor. The wall box may be configured to be mounted to a wall. The temperature control device may be configured to be mounted to the wall box such that the temperature sensor is located within the wall box. A wire or cable may be passed from a wall cavity of the wall, through the gland once inserted into the hole of the wall box, into an interior of the wall box, and attached to the temperature control device. The gland and the wall box may be configured to prevent air within the wall cavity from entering the wall box when the wire or cable is passed into the wall box.

    Abstract: A load control device may control power delivered from a power source, such as an alternating-current (AC) power source, to at least two electrical loads, such as a lighting load and a motor load. The load control device may include multiple load control circuit, such as a dimmer circuit and a motor drive circuit, for controlling the power delivered to the lighting load and the motor load, respectively. The load control device may adjust the rotational speed of the motor load in a manner so as to minimize acoustic noise generated by the load control device and reduce the amount of time required to adjust the rotational speed of the motor load. The load control device may remain powered when one of the electrical loads (e.g., the lighting load) has been removed (e.g., electrically disconnected or uninstalled) and/or has failed in an open state (has "burnt out" or "blown out").

    Abstract: A load control device may be configured to turn on lighting loads to obtain a fast turn-on time that may be substantially consistent across lighting loads that have different load voltages. The load control device may comprise a power converter circuit configured to produce a voltage across a capacitor, and a control circuit configured to control the power converter circuit to generate the voltage across the capacitor. The control circuit may determine a learned voltage from the magnitude of the voltage across the capacitor. For example, the control circuit may measure the magnitude of the voltage and store the measured voltage as the learned voltage. The control circuit may determine an operating parameter for the power converter circuit as a function of the learned voltage, and control the power converter circuit according to the operating parameter to charge the capacitor until the magnitude of the voltage exceeds a threshold.

    Abstract: A load control system may include control devices for controlling electrical loads. The control devices may include load control devices, such as a lighting device for controlling an amount of power provided to a lighting load, and controller devices, such as a remote control device configured to transmit digital messages for controlling the lighting load via the load control device. The remote control device may communicate with the lighting devices via a hub device. The remote control device may detect a user interface event, such as a button press or a rotation of the remote control device. The remote control device or the hub device may determine whether to transmit digital messages as unicast messages or multicast messages based on the type of user interface event detected. The remote control device, or other master device, may synchronize and/or toggle an on/off state of lighting devices in the load control system.

    Abstract: A load control system (100) includes control devices for controlling electrical loads, such as a motorized window treatment (130) and lighting devices (112, 122). The control devices include load control devices, such as a lighting device (112, 122) for controlling an amount of power provided to a lighting load, and input devices, such as a remote control device (116) configured to transmit digital messages comprising lighting control instructions for controlling the lighting load via the lighting device. The remote control device (116) may communicate with the lighting device (112, 122) via an intermediary device, such as a hub device (180). The remote control device (116) detects a user interface event, such as a button press or a rotation of the remote control device. The remote control device (116) or the hub (180) device determines whether to transmit digital messages to as unicast messages or multicast messages based on the type of user interface event detected. The load control devices may also include a motorized window treatment (130). The input devices may also include a remote control device (150), an occupancy sensor (160), a daylight sensor (170), and a network device (190), such as a smart phone, which may include a visual display (192). The remote control device (116, 150) or the hub device (180) may transmit the digital message as a unicast message when the user interface event is determined to be an "on" event or an "off" event and the number of multicast messages transmitted within the predefined period of time is outside of a predefined threshold. The remote control device (116) may be a retrofit remote control device capable of covering a switch installed on the wall-mounted load control device (110). The remote control device (116, 150) or the hub device (180) may calculate a delay between the transmission of each unicast message. The delay may be injected between unicast messages to help ensure that the communication link is idle prior to the device sending the next unicast message.
