More Information
Summary:A load control device having two-way communication capabilities. The load control device can include a conventional load control receiver that receives information, such as load control commands or requests. The load control receiver can include a receiver operable to receive power line carrier signals via a power distribution line. The load control device can further include a power line carrier signal transmitter that couples a power line carrier signal onto the distribution line. The power line carrier signal transmitter can communicate information associated with the load control device and information associated with one or more electrical devices that are controlled by the load control device to a remote device. The information may be transmitted from the load control device to the remote device in response to a request received by the load control device or on a periodic basis.
