1. A light switch comprising:

  • a user input mechanism;

    a wireless receiver for receiving remote control signals; and

    a processor coupled to the user input mechanism and to the wireless receiver and configured to control a light source both in response to activation of the user input mechanism and in response to the remote control signals;

    wherein the light switch is configured, in response to a user override input via the user input mechanism, to enter an override state, whereby the light source is maintained in an off state and remote control signals are prevented from causing the light source to be switched on, until the override state is disengaged; and

    the light switch includes an indicator that identifies to a user when the light switch is in the override state, as opposed to an off or on state, wherein the user input mechanism is a manual switch having an actuator with an override position, the light switch further comprising a detent mechanism that holds the manual switch actuator in the override position until an external force is applied to the actuator.
