ABSTRACT:
A wall mountable dimmer switch for controlling the level of AC power delivered to a load, such as a lighting load. The switch is capable of being used as a single pole, three-way or four-way dimmer switch. The switch is responsive to signals supplied by auxiliary devices to increase, decrease or toggle on/off the power delivered to the load irrespective of the location of the switch when it is used in a multiple location switching system, and irrespective of the wiring of its hot and dimmed leads.
