ABSTRACT:
A device (10) for interfacing a line voltage breaker box (14) with a low voltage controller (30). The device (10) includes a housing (12) which shields the electrical component contained therein. A plurality of low voltage connectors (46) are mounted in the housing and electrically connected with a low voltage controller (30). Each of the connectors (46) includes a low voltage actuator (32) which is selectively energized by the controller (30). A plurality of line voltage connectors (56) are mounted in the housing (12) at a location spaced from the low voltage connectors (46). These line voltage connectors (56) electrically connect line voltage to breakers (16) in the breaker box. Each of the connectors (56) include a line voltage switch or contact (54) which is operatively associated with at least one of the actuators such that energization of the actuator causes the switch (54) to close and power to be supplied to said breakers and appliances operatively associated therewith.
