ABSTRACT:
A control device that can be mounted against the face plate of a rocker switch automatically operates the rocker switch in accordance with at least one predetermined program. The device also allows the predetermined program to be overridden to manipulate the rocker switch as desired without removing of the device. The device includes a controller for activating the device according to parameters of the predetermined program; a power component that is responsive to the controller; and a plate that is moved by the power component with respect to the switch. The plate has a finger adapted to abut the rocker. When the finger abuts of a first portion of the rocker, the switch is placed in an opened position, and when the finger abuts a second portion of the rocker, the switch is placed in a closed position.
