Remote control system for controlling wall-mounted switches
First Claim
1. A remote control system for controlling the operation of a wall-mounted switch having a depressible switch button for controlling an electrical circuit, comprising:
- a remote control unit adapted to be located at a remote location with respect to said wall-mounted switch and having a depressible switch button;
a local control adapted to be mounted on the wall of said wall-mounted switch and including a displaceable actuator to overlie said depressible switch button of the wall-mounted switch;
and a wireless communication system between said remote control unit and said local control unit effective, upon depression of said depressible switch button of the remote control unit, to displace said actuator of the local control unit such as to depress said switch button of the wall-mounted switch.
