ABSTRACT:
A radio wall switch that uses radio signals to control a load through a load circuit is disclosed. The radio wall switch is also configured group or bind electronic devices to operate collectively by responding to the same radio control signals. Preferably, the radio wall switch and electronic devices are grouped or bound to reflect their location in a floor plan architecture. The radio wall switch includes a radio control board is configured to be removable and located outside of a wall receptacle while electrically coupled to the load circuit. The radio control board includes contact switches that are selectively depressed by a switch plate for manually controlling the load. The switch plate is flexible and can be deformed to simultaneously actuate multiple contact switches to place the radio wall switch in a program mode for grouping or binding the other electronic devices.
