Problems solved by technology
[0007] Furthermore, if the panel assembly mounted to the wireless load control device includes extensive metallization on the front (or exterior) surface of the panel, the communication range of the wireless load control device may be reduced to the point that the wireless load control device may not be able to communicate with the load The point at which other RF-enabled components of the control system communicate

Embodiment Construction
[0051] figure 1 with figure 2 are perspective and front views of an example wall mount load control device 100 (eg, dimmer switch). The load control device 100 may be used to control power delivered to an electrical load (eg, a lighting load) from an alternating current (AC) power source. image 3 is through figure 2 A right side cross-sectional view of the load control device 100 taken at the center of the load control device shown in . Figure 4 is through figure 2 A top side cross-sectional view of the load control device 100 taken at the center of the load control device shown in . Figure 5 is a partially exploded view of the load control device 100 showing the faceplate 102 and adapter plate 104 removed from the load control device. Image 6 is a rear perspective view of panel 102. Figure 7 is an exploded view of the load control device 100 showing a portion of the antenna of the load control device.

A wall-mountable wireless control device may include an antenna (e.g., a slot antenna or a hybrid slot-patch antenna) for transmitting and / or receiving radio-frequency signals, and may have a conductive material on a large amount (e.g., greater than or equal to approximately 85%) of a front surface of the control device. The wireless control device may operate consistently when installed with different types of faceplate assemblies (e.g., faceplate assemblies having metal and / or plastic components) and when installed with different types of electrical wallboxes (e.g., metal and plastic wallboxes). A faceplate comprising a conductive element may be installed on the wireless control device, such that the conductive element operates as a radiating element of the antenna. The wireless control device may comprise a conductive member (e.g., a conductive label or a conductive strap) extending around a rear enclosure of the wireless control device between opposite sides of a conductive yoke.
Description
[0001] Cross References to Prior Art [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 005,424, filed May 30, 2014, and US Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 076,786. Background technique [0003] Home automation systems, which have become increasingly popular, can be used by homeowners to integrate and control multiple electrical and / or electronic devices in their premises. For example, a homeowner may connect appliances, lights, blinds, thermostats, cables or sub-boxes, security systems, telecommunication systems, or the like to each other via a wireless network. The homeowner can control these devices using a controller or user interface provided via a phone, tablet, computer, and the like connected directly to the network or remotely via the Internet. These devices may communicate with each other and with a controller to, for example, increase their efficiency, their convenience and / or their usability. [0004] Wall mount load contr...
