Abstract
The present invention provides a multi-purpose control device with a remote controller and a sensor. The multi-purpose control device includes a detecting body, a remote controller for controlling the detecting body, and a receiver connected to a light. The detecting body is positioned at an entry way to form a sensing region, thereby the detecting body is not only able to receive a remote control signal emitted from the remote controller but also to sense human bodies entering the sensing region. After the detecting body receives the remote control signal or senses a human body entering the sensing region, the detecting body emits a signal to the receiver to actuate a light. The control device does not require reconfiguration of wiring. The present invention can sense a human body entering a sensing region in the dark to actuate a light automatically. The remote controller associated with the detecting body can provide multiple remote functions, including a lux level setting and a time setting.
