2. Description of the Prior Art Switches and relays are very well known for turning on and off water boilers, air conditioners, heaters, lighting and other electrical equipment and appliances in homes, offices, public buildings, businesses, restaurants and factories. It is being

Well-known relays and switching devices for home automation are generally installed in the main or sub-electrical cabinet within a given facility. Installed switches and/or relays are operated by control signals propagated via bus lines, RF, or AC power lines.

Electrical wiring must be modified from standard commonly applied wiring and systems that are powered through (switches) commonly installed in electrical wall boxes, making their installation The cost of upgrading known automation devices and relays is very high.

This is in sharp contrast to direct electrical supply from the main or sub-electrical cabinet via relays. To control the relays in the electrical cabinet, the commonly used standard switches are: control switches, electrical signals, RF signals, AC power line signals, to reach and operate the control circuit of the relays in the electrical cabinet , and in some cases replaced by an IR signal in the open air within line of sight.

Such fundamental changes in structured electrical systems are too complex and costly, and the complexity is the cause of serious and repeated malfunctions of installed electrical automation systems. Additionally, known home automation devices do not report the power consumed by individual appliances, do not provide usable data to report statistics to homeowners, and fall short of a "smart grid." .

3. “ Summary of the invention ”
This application, in many aspects, refers to two unrelated items and/or inventions. The first is home automation and the second is hearing aids. The present invention provides at least one of linear and curved light control light(s) and one of the visible spectral range from 380 to 800 nanometers (nm) and the non-visible range above 800 nm. relating to one of the signal(s).
Here, the concepts of bending and straightness refer to at least one of optical fibers, plastic optical fiber (POF) cables, and other transparent elements for propagating optical control light and at least one of optical signals. Directed and light controlled light and light signals received, transmitted, linked, delinked, controlled, propagated, operated, commanded, manipulated and consumed through switching on and off of light bulbs and/or measuring and programmed power outlets. selected from the group consisting of reporting of data intentionally manipulated by at least one associated device, such as reporting a change in light status or color, including power;

The above light control is operated by the CPU and/or the home controller with a very short "blocking time" and based on the CPU and/or home controller (PC) responding to its operation or via a wearable device. Generate an unprecedented 'floating response to assist hearing aid devices and address other health issues.

None of the known prior art suggests having the ability to link and disconnect light bulbs or switch light bulbs by interrupting the propagated light control light and/or light signal.
The present invention is a "first-of-its-kind" introduction of a hybrid lighting opto-switch that operates through a lighting switch that extends at least one of an optical and physical link and delink to the individual elements of a light control actuator. By operation and into "unprecedented" grouped data programmed, supplied, stored and transferred to the home automation (PC) and/or (controller) by the Intelligent Support Box (ISB) The 'completely first' of a hybrid lighting opto-switch that optically responds based on and optically commands a given address(es) via an optical cascading grid by one of said ISB and said controller. ” is an introduction.
A hearing aid that is self-adjusting by the user, with ease such as operating a switch by one of the straight and curved wearables, and by a finger touch on the "button/accessories" or "surface" of the shirt, underwear or other wearable. Allows expansion into various areas, such as the introduction of devices and elements. A soft touch of a finger on a given lighting opto-switch(es) provides self-control to the auditory situation.

FIG. 1A illustrates common past and present wiring devices in the art, which include wires attached to electrical device terminals in a frame, a wall-mounted frame, and the known wall electrical box(es). ) must be connected separately.

FIG. 1B shows a hearing aid device and its elements linked via wires and radios (discussed separately) designed to amplify speech, music, and other propagated signals and accompanying noise. It shows.

Removing electrical wiring devices for maintenance or replacement is less complex but takes time to complete. First, follow the steps to remove the surrounding decorative frame, then remove the frame from the box, remove the wires from the device terminals, remove the device from the frame, and reinstall the new replacement device.

Reinstalling a replacement device requires a reverse process that is not complicated but takes time to complete. Time in this sense can be said to be much more expensive than the cost of the device itself. Furthermore, removal and installation must be performed by a licensed electrical professional and not by the user of the system.

Switches, relays, and AC outlets for on-off electrical appliances such as electric lights, hot water boilers, air conditioners, heaters, curtains, and other electrical equipment and appliances in homes, offices, public buildings, businesses, hotels, restaurants, factories, etc. Decorative plates or frames around switches, relays, and AC outlets, including decorative keys used to toggle switches, are very familiar.

U.S. Patent Nos. 9,219,358, 9,608,418, and 10,225,005 (hereinafter referred to as '358', '418' and '005', respectively) are herein incorporated by reference to specifically disclose details. More are being introduced.

Intelligent Support Boxes (ISBs) are installed into electrical wall boxes with wiring devices attached to the ISBs and/or attached to the ISBs by plug-in action. A locking element and display hand tool according to ISB is disclosed in US Pat. No. 10,840,686 for the purpose of identifying the elements involved in the process of release and removal by pressing the hand tool.

As demand for home automation grows, simple color changes and other structural needs create a need for devices that are "easy to install, configure, and remove," and/or changes to the appearance of frames and keys. There is.

The other major key element of ISB was the introduction of Universal Serial Bus (USB), a well-known device and term for PCs (personal computers) and cloud storage of data. Each ISB incorporates at least one USB, allowing the ISB to self-configure and self-identify the operation of each light control interruption, for example for a short period of time (0.1 msec). It also records and self-reports to other ISBs and home controllers via a cascaded POF chain with each given interruption.

A solution was needed to simplify the installation of the ISB in a wall box, create an easier installation process of a "plug-in box", and communicate light-controlled touch keys via home controller and POF access. Intelligent home control is not possible without programmable devices and PCs to operate, control and above all manage the intelligent home.

A simplified "push process" could and should be introduced by a simple "finger press" on one of the devices operated by multiple finger presses, which also It is intended to simplify finger presses to devices within a given cascade chain. It is done by the electrical installer or, if permitted, by the user (tenant) of the given facility.

The status and power consumption of at least one given load must be reported, whether it is a lighting or other electrical device that is activated by the user plugging it into a given power outlet (optically linked outlet), or After the user presses the "opt key" on the "opt switch" to switch a given light using a finger, a cascading chain that is optically linked to the key of the power outlet or (switch) is to report the power consumption through.

The introduction of opto-switch(es) brought about a major change in the wiring of residential, office, public and other building premises, it is through at least one optical cable, i.e. each of the premises of every premises of a building. It is through selective optical cables that link optical commands through the home controller to each and every load within. As explained below, reporting the optical power consumed will follow the same pattern by introducing some changes to the ISB and outlets.

Smooth reporting of power consumption requires the introduction of two important structures into the ISB structure, requiring the installation of horizontally and vertically mounted ISBs to be identical.

Here, all ISBs are combined into Composite Intelligent Support Boxes (CISBs) to further enable the installation of plug-in devices, including opto-switches, within both vertically and horizontally mounted ISBs. is converted to

Additionally, global power consumption and status reporting will include current power plugs from all countries in the world that must be identically matched to CISB(s) mounted vertically or horizontally. .

The introduction of horizontal and vertical installation ISB allows modification of the plug-in outlet structure, so that the plug-in structure of all power outlets is unified and can be installed identically by modifying the previous power outlet to suit the installation. It turns out. These include both vertically mounted and horizontally mounted CISBs. Details of other modifications are shown in Figure 2B, Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 4D, Figure 6A~Figure 6D, Figure 7~Figure 8, Figure 10A~B, Figure 11~Figure 16, Figure 17, Figure 18A~B, It is disclosed in FIG.

Known prior art for operating switches and/or reporting power consumed and status via optical signals disclosed by Applicant in US Patent No. 10,225,005 include US Patent Nos. 10,313,141; 10,686,5351; No. 10,797,476; No. 10,840,687; No. 11,030,760; No. 11,239,641; No. 11,329,463.

None of the patents listed above disclose patents of light controlled light or light controlled interruption for actuating a switch. In that respect, any of the following presents: operating a light switch or operating a hearing aid guided, operated or controlled by a press or touch of a wearable key to interrupt the device or a light control key linked to the switch. I haven't.

Does not present straight or curved light control key combinations in open air or switches, and/or curved light combinations through plastic optical fibers (POF) in switches. There is also no suggestion of touching anything near or external to the switch, wearable keypads, shirts, etc.

Another novel concept of the present application discloses pushing at least one wearable accessory or a portion of the surface of the wearable to interrupt the light control of at least one of the single or multiple light control actuator(s). key(s), which can be used to control a person's body using the CPU or hearing aid (HRD) controller(s), depending on the needs of the medical condition. or used to block light control for part of the space.

Pressing a touch surface of a wearable or a given soft key, and pressing a soft button or accessory via a single finger press and multiple light blocking finger presses can provide multiple light blocking. , i.e. should be interpreted as a self-adjusted push associated with the wearable's surface elements. It presents obvious utility value for bed rest and many other different medical applications.

The main limitations of current hearing aids (HRDs) are their overcrowded electrical circuitry and inability to handle sounds that are present in the environment. Current hearing aids cannot be improved by adding devices, RF circuitry, and/or linking to a control panel via wiring.

Although the inventor of this application (a long-time user of hearing aids) appreciates the efforts of engineers on current hearing aids, he does not agree with the hearing quality of current hearing aids.

The inventors conducted some tests in a noisy atmosphere and realized that this strategy is clearly one of the solutions they are looking for, especially for the elderly. Below are the ones where seniors participate in the test, but it doesn't take long for engineers to review their comments needed. Since many device elements require time due to the commonality of production preparation, we decided to do both home automation and hearing aids together, which will provide the opportunity to realize home automation correctly.

The inventors of the present invention anticipate that aesthetic surfaces that include finger press or touch ornaments will be acceptable and adopted by potential users. Furthermore, the need for self-regulation and self-configuration is a fundamental element that can be applied to many functions.

The hearing aid is controlled by the user's finger touch on the decorative surface, consisting of a light-controlled touch key switch to control the wearable microphone, operating multiple touch switches for up and down, left and right, and front and back. and can and should be set.

As mentioned in paragraph 1, it is well known that the use of prior art POFs is currently expanding. Known uses of POF are used for communication within vehicles or can operate over limited short distances (up to about 120 m). That is, it is suitable for use inside a car or at home. It is also the best solution to prevent information about what is happening inside your home from being leaked to your neighbors.

Additionally, the use of the visible/invisible light spectrum introduces many other applications. The above enumerated situations reduce the search for prior art to a literal point of futility.
The referenced U.S. Pat. , nor is it intended to configure or adjust the hearing aid by finger touch, activating a given light-controlled touch key switch via a button/decoration etc. that is not yet known.
For the above reasons, applicants believe that the present application provides a solid answer to many needs.

For home automation operations and building equipment and systems with similar needs, and many other areas of life, lighting systems, communications, controls in the home, car controls, home parking, health equipment, hospitals, Describe stores, offices, factories, school buildings and other facilities.

The above does not relate to the construction of the referenced keys and power outlets, neither of which are flammable. By the way, POF is nonflammable. AC or/and DC power outlets are non-flammable and light-controlled touch key switches are also non-flammable. Furthermore, it is preferable that the PC is a single unit and is involved in controlling the entire home, store, office, or other building, and does not suggest or indicate that the new device "light control actuator" is operated.

The "speaker" of the hearing aid of the present invention is configured to cover the ears and the surrounding area by the use of a comfortable thin speaker mounted all the way around the two ears, which has an extended audible spectrum. A novel hearing aid function for producing speech and music, which substantially upgrades the range and level of aural quality of speech and music, and is better adapted in size and shape to the hearing-impaired.
The applicant also intends to introduce this hearing aid speaker, albeit experimentally, to deaf children. This implementation could be used by applicants, hospitals and medical schools if any of the tests show more or less positive results.
In contrast to current hearing aid sound, which is delivered through a thin tube with a very small diameter and a very small sound membrane, the covered "pinnae" and sound from within and between the ear cavity or receiving signals and/or vibrations;

Although hearing aids have been steadily modified and improved, the small devices and membranes that produce speech and music remain. Regardless of a well-performing processor, the sound delivered through physically limited bandwidth is an inevitable result of very small "speaker" elements.

The small size microphone of the above small size hearing aids is another major limiting factor. This small size causes difficulties for deaf people in general, especially older deaf people.
The biggest problems are not being able to hear and not being able to understand. These are the reactions and complaints of elderly hearing-impaired people, and are like being in the "darkness" of hearing. This is a condition that is unacceptable to the hearing impaired.
Another difficulty in not being able to understand is when you are surrounded by people speaking at restaurants or other places. It's like being ``attacked'' by background music and loud people, crowded queues waiting near the bus stop, etc.

A major problem is not being able to understand the words and passages that are being communicated. This can be very difficult or literally impossible to overcome with the "small" size of hearing aids. Furthermore, other sources of discomfort are noise, street noise (outdoor noise), or noise from cars on the road as well as indoor noise from air conditioning and the like.
Road noise through the rear and front microphones reinforces the human brain's inability to separate ambient noise from speech. The hearing aid process must be oriented in some way toward the intended sound source, such as left/right, front/back, or up/down (LR, FR, UD).

A finger touch may be the best answer for the brain to hear sounds from L-R, F-R and U-D. If the finger touches the wearable surface up, down and sideways and memorizes the point of contact and direction, the plunger can be assisted by a given formed shape over a given time and activate the user's brain. It can be made to follow finger touches and by them can memorize and select ambient noises as set, ie via microphone and brain.

All the ambient sounds that are exposed to different voices and background sounds reduce the hearing ability of deaf people to hear clear voices among that mixed sound and noise.
No direction selection is provided for a given sound generated from LR, FR, or UD. And although such hearing aids are not known to be available, they should be a solution for hearing impaired people.
The only ability the hearing aids provide is the volume of each hearing aid, not self-selection of left/right or up/down, not self-reading, nor control of propagated noise relative to existing hearing levels.
Therefore, the need for reliable hearing has led to the introduction of a variety of new hearing aid systems, which are currently disclosed, in order to learn and find the appropriate means to guide those born deaf into the world of normal hearing. There is a possibility that this will be the right kind of support.

The present application introduces a new hearing aid device that counters the unusability of the hearing aid for a given operation at a given time, as opposed to a finger press or touch on the wearable touch area. It presents (virtually) no need to carry out conventional operations, which cannot be improved beyond verifying the amplified and processed signal. However, this does not improve the speaker sound itself inside the fossa.
The future will require the convenience of self-adjustment. It is set via soft wearable light controlled touch keys, day or night, and must be an optical system. Setting and controlling various functions by pointing with a finger makes the hands and fingers of a hearing impaired person the basic means for control-related communication.
Increasing/decreasing and adjusting the volume of music and voices requires ``clarity,'' which has not yet been numerically defined, in contrast to the already defined ``volume,''``tone,'' and ``ambient sound.'' In particular, clarity changes with ambient sound, regardless of hearing aid settings.

Returning from the discussion of clarity to home automation and hearing aids, the main objective of the present invention is to program the light control or the light control light itself by introducing a given code or data about the lighting details. and it contains one of the optical data to process and communicate according to instructions, via cascaded POF optical signals, to turn on or off a given bulb, and further Turn that light bulb on or off by communicating data with the PC for instructions.

Following such unclear presentation, record at least one power consumption by at least one device via the cascaded POF including the lighting.

A further object of the present invention is to provide the first convenient and elegant wearable hat, head covering and single or dual (singular or combination) hearing device for the hearing impaired. It consists of at least one pair of round or oval speakers mounted around the posterior helix of each ear. (Cover around the ears).
Round or elongated (elliptical) "all-over" supported by a soft, comfortable sponge, similar to the elastic cover of a speaker, it provides easy attachment with soft-lock springs. The spring surrounds the left and right ear helices with gentle pressure.

Also, the lock spring can be released from the ear ring. Note that here both speakers produce voice and musical sounds, which are at frequencies from less than 60Hz to well above 8KHz. A further purpose is the use of multiple and various narrowband to wideband microphones placed in dresses, jackets, decorative shirts, or in combination with shirts and underwear, or in combination with ties, belts, or other wearables. This is an introduction. It is intended to provide sound access to a given surface, touch, and microphone via a wearable decoration, either fully visible or partially visible.

Yet another object of the invention is the use of a long-term wearable rechargeable battery(s) that can last for up to a week, including circuitry, for example, for the convenience of the user. It can be linked with other parts of belts or ties, or wearables and other surfaces to generate optically controlled interruption signals, and to report movement or movements at a given location such as at home or work or in a parking lot. Provides light-controlled touch keys for configured communication with devices.

Here, the light-controlled touch key switch is not an automatic light switch. The light controlled touch keys propagated to the block are through a cascaded POF grid(s) to a given ISB and/or home controller directly and/or through a distributor and/or command converter.

The home controller directly directs on or off to each power switch, including each and every light switch included in the at least one hybrid lighting cabinet. A hybrid switch can be activated by a given ISB's CPU. The actions commanded by any one of the selected hybrid switches are limited to reversing only the state of the given switch, ie, from on to off or from off to on.

The following explanation is provided to better understand light controlled interception. It is known that lights are turned on and off via mechanical locks that switch on/off contact states. (via switched live power wires). That's not the neutral power wire connection.

Applicant has introduced US Pat. No. 10,586,671, in addition to numerous patents in the United States and other countries for devices and circuits for providing solutions to lighting automation.

Light-controlled touch keys through a given cascaded chain are not individually operated. The chain of cascaded lights of the plurality of cascaded chains operates through one of the distributors and command converters linked to the controller. Only a single light bulb is required and applied to each cascade segment, and the cascade control is powered at low power (milli Watt) via a double cascade POF chain, such as in hearing aids. It is clear that
The above can also be said to be related to home automation.

The hearing aid includes left and right microphones, with similar front and rear microphones arranged structurally, and the front, rear, up and down microphones can be controlled by touching the up and down microphones set within the microphone position with your finger. , configured to be controlled.

Another novel method is to link by an optical (light control) actuator via one of the soft, curved optical POF cables and via a straight optical link line between the light source POF access. It is to be done. Here, the light control touch keys and the light control signal actuate the switch through the controller limited to controlling through at least one of the home controller's CPU and through the cascaded POF.

A further object of the present invention is to convert the light-controlled light in the "space" into the operation of the light-controlled actuator via commands generated in the controller or CPU through one of the inside and outside of the switch body. It is to provide operations.

Straight and curved path visible color light control light from 380 to 800 nm, and invisible light control light or signals above 800 nm, and curved path light control light and signals through optical cables, within the switch housing and It was not known to physically actuate switching devices on and off by optically controlled light in straight or curved paths within other enclosures in the cascaded chain.

These and other objects and features of the invention will become apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1A shows past and present horizontal and vertical ducts, wall boxes, and dropped AC power lines, consisting of live (L) power lines (AC), neutral (N), and ground (G). Figure 1B shows an external view of a currently known hearing aid device and battery charger. Figure 2A shows the current congested lighting power wiring to wall boxes and light switches, illustrating the complexity of handling/installing them within the wall box. Figure 2B shows the removal of the rear cover to expand rear box space, removing it to form a slimmer ISB and occupying new space, resulting in a shorter rear and much less power wiring as shown in Figure 3. Figures 3-3A and 3B show single and dual light control touches (BT) for attaching one or more BLAs to a n-strand (intelligent support box) ISB. Each BLA is linked to CPU access to communicate with a given ISB and linked to a home controller (PC) via a cascaded POF. Figure 4-A shows the dual-break POF cable bent inside the (BLA)40-A. 40-A is a dual cut-off POF linked to light controlled touch, fed from generator 4-8 to link light controlled touch receiver 4-10 via dual coupled POF segments 4-5 and 4-7. shows. Figure 4-B shows the dual-break POF cable bent inside the (BLA)40-B. Finger pressing keypad 40P presses plunger 4-6P, presses onto tact spring 40T (Figure 4C) and removes finger press to reverse the state of BLA in a very short time and restart light control touch Show that. Figure HV shows two sets of optically controlled touch keys 40H-1 to 40H-n containing 40V-1 to 40V-n, both switches shown here are identical switches that can be mounted horizontally and vertically on the ISB. Performs switching. Figure 4C shows different internal structures of curved path and straight optical control touch keys, both of which use POF blocking segment(s), which can be used with other optical fiber segments, or with different plungers 4-6 or 4-16 through fiber segments that can be differently structured or shaped and/or arranged to guide the light that is blocked by the push.

Figure 25B shows a preferred embodiment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION Applicants begin the introduction and detailed description of the preferred embodiments with the last item of the brief description, namely FIGS. 25A and 25B.

The reason is that to open up a new world of light switches, it is not appropriate to introduce a light control device itself that cannot directly control power. Figures 25A and 25B are therefore important. It can also be seen as an issue of the cost of shutters or curtains, and the provision of easy locations for a given shutter or curtain.

It is well known that the function of position indicators is approximate or estimative, where position is estimated based on counting motor rotations and lengths of time. Motor rotation is an incorrect measurement method for calculating curtain-based details such as curtain length. Long curtains use ticker rotating coils, and whatever the measurements, measurements through the number of rotations are far from "free of error from approximate measurements."

On the other hand, performing proper position measurements is expensive for current residences. The same goes for shutters and curtains. Approximate values are best. Figures 25A and 25B present for the first time a solution to identify the position and data of curtains and curtains, provide accurate positions by introducing rollers, and indicate the position 25-2 of shutters and curtains.

This is done by attaching a low cost optically controlled push key layer 4D-CU at any position along the movement of motor 25-1 or roller 25-2. The two CPUs 4D-C1 & C2 located at the end of the layer allow the use of one low-cost wiring for being the perfect solution for all curtains etc.

It is clear that POF's capabilities are useful in all fields. Regarding curtains and shutters is an example for future embodiments. The whole assembly of flat POF layer 4D-CUA~CUn is mounted on the wall or window frame or other location, it is a 2 mm thick pad (example), connected to the bottom end through the CPU, and the optical receiver and communicates and extends to a height of 2 to 3 meters (straight or curved).

The above are only the disclosed elements, a flat 2-3m long POF, a low-cost CPU and a low-cost optical receiver are installed to identify the position and status of the curtains and/or shutters. All elements related to identifying the location and status of a system.

This application contains two objectives based on home automation and hearing aids. Both correspond to technologies that exist or have existed in the past.
This is due to the operation of any physical light-controlled actuator to propagate data through channels at relatively slow speeds (1-3 inches/second). It can be said that the distance within a house is not long. The distance from corner to corner in any direction is rarely more than 20 meters (approximately 700 inches). No matter how slow the communication line is, it is on the order of 0.1 milliseconds for POF. Therefore, in this sense, home automation It can be said that speeding up is meaningless.

The need for high speed signals can easily be handled at 400MB/s via POF cable within 200m (left + right direction).
Illumination issues are discussed in further parts of this application. Additionally, as discussed, the empirical speed for toggling a switch on-off is no faster than that of current light switches, which take 10-20 milliseconds via a finger press to toggle the switch key on or off. .

A relevant object within the present disclosure is the introduction of short-duration "floating optical interruptions" of the propagated "floating" optical control light or signal received by the optical control light or signal receiver. A second objective within the above disclosure is the reception of floating light controlled light by a light controlled light receiver without anything like + or - (or high-low).

Both light control light and optical signals are propagated separately through straight or curved plastic optical fiber (POF) cables, with no floating levels to measure and no reference to AC and/or DC voltage levels, i.e. Introducing floating light control light level into optical switch without reference.

This disclosure further describes home automation and hearing aid devices, including IoT and AI devices (communicating WiFi and other signals), including core technologies configured to involve home automation, or further including hearing aid core technologies. present.
Here, home automation controls all elements and devices without a central controller, and it reports detailed power consumption, and it includes all other expected details.

A problem with hearing aids is ambient noise, unbearable sounds and music, including in open spaces, such as clubs and noisy restaurants. And little or nothing is being done to help the deaf and hard of hearing.

In view of the general difficulties faced by home automation and hearing aids, the applicant has deeply studied many failed attempts, which have rarely led to anything meaningful. Another aspect is that hearing aid users have never been given meaningful means to self-control their devices.

Home automation, which had failed in the past, required a solution to installing and operating lighting systems, and while it was expected to be a simple challenge to find new light switches etc., the new home automation market The reality remains that no one has been found or installed.

At this time, it can be said that there is no solution to the related problem. This is not a simple push or touch on/off key, and the hope is that soft-touch keys will accomplish this.

It should be a product that "operates and controls everything" in the home and/or some products that operate and control hearing aids. It should be "anywhere" and "anytime" is not achieved by soft presses. There are various reasons why the condition is facing serious difficulties, but it can be modified to work by touch.

Most given homes contain 20-30 electrical outlets, 25-35 switches (with a margin of error of +-20%), and up to 50 lights. Control or communication within the home does not require a signal or its frequency to transmit gigabytes (GB) or any significant short period of time. In reality, a 1kHz (low frequency) signal rate is far less costly and much more efficient for all signals propagated within the home.

This concept enables the realization of an unprecedented light-controlled light actuator (BLA), which activates and operates a light-controlled light by blocking the light-controlled light by pressing a soft plunger. . A light control light signal is generated by pressing a softkey. It is possible with a low-voltage AC or DC power supply, or turns various devices on and off via the ISB or by the instructions of a home controller, such as a finger press on a light control actuator (no power required) be able to.

The optical control light generating this reference is self-configured via the ISB and receives directly from the optical transmitter the operating target address recorded in the PC containing the ISB's CPU via the cascaded POF.

Optical control lights and optical signals may be provided individually to a light control optical channel or included in a given ISB to identify received commands configured to operate as a device, element, or both. Simply introduce an optical signal receiver. Thus, the light-controlled light actuator, whether it is an element, device or circuit, can be addressed and/or commanded via the home controller and via the DC line.

Optical control lights and/or optical signals are isolated from all power lines. Optically controlled light in all its forms has no direct cost to power.
All available power lines, whether AC or DC lines and/or battery power, are used to control light and/or process data to and from the Home Controller (PC). or can power the signal.

Two examples: by a given PC signal programmed (or to be programmed) into an external device, such as a resident's car parked in a building's parking lot or outside, for example by an automobile manufacturer or store operator. Further providing and communicating command signals directly and via links contained directly within the home device.

Light control lights, signals, etc. are absolutely safe so-called loads and lighting, and are not considered electrical elements or devices.
A further object of the present application is to support one or more central lighting cabinets or (CLCs), each CLC having at least one ISB for installing at least one plug-in hybrid switch. See U.S. Patent Nos. 9,036,320, 9,257,251, 9,289,981, and 10,586,671 which provides an ISB installed in a central lighting cabinet and/or other lighting cabinets and allows plug-in installation.

Here, the CLC can also be applied to other loads, while the signal can be applied to AC and/or low voltage DC switching and control, including battery-powered equipment.

Multiple optically controlled light switches and lighting switches have insulated switch bodies and can be linked by DC, AC, straight light, curved path light via POF or light controlled light, or wireless light controlled light.

As contemplated, depowering is accomplished by an LED within the ISB and via at least one finger press and push key to operate the light-controlled light and/or selected depowering switch(es). Generate and provide optical signals.

Processing of data can be performed by an engaged ISB, or by a home controller that provides command signals through a residential optical (POF) network, or internally to a given device, or within a building parking lot or outdoors. Externally to a resident's vehicle directly or via other networks.

Light propagated inside a given encapsulated device is not disturbed by other light from outside the "device". In contrast to "radio frequency" RF, shielding of RF signals is less straightforward and may not provide isolation from other devices and signals.

As the light source color is subdivided, it is possible to signal and identify at least one facility or one residential building, and/or at least one facility in a high-rise building, and/or at least one office and other building facility. Multiple light source colors can be filtered and assigned, including internal and/or external devices for setting up and assigning operating equipment.

Assigning a light source color to access and processes to and through the home controller, such as encoding each light-controlled light with a given color, to most easily identify the designation of touch and light-controlled light actuators. For example, first choose brown for the entrance area, then select a given color for the hallway wall touches.

Easily discernible is the return from a touched (wearable) key, measured within 1-50 milliseconds or 1-n seconds.
The 1 millisecond mentioned above is too short for a physical action such as a finger press, so the CPU in the ISB is configured to respond to light longer than 1 millisecond. Regarding the optical signal, the CPU in the ISB takes between 1 and n milliseconds to address a given n megabit capable device in the ISB or controller via the POF propagating high frequency and its high speed assistance. is set to propagate a short "signal" within

The propagated light is an absolutely safe signal, and the short summary above touches on the cusp of future light control, including switches, while "current" applications (future) are not disclosed herein. ing.

In addition, the applicant provides basic terminology that can be easily used by the inventor and is a term that applies to many facilities, devices, systems, and hearing aids that are new home automation and HDR, and also used and memorized.

Firstly, the home controller is designed to help power lines, lighting, IoT, AI devices and more, along with ISB's "intelligent functions", including the need to overcome the difficulties of various devices, lighting, wiring, etc. It's basic.
One example is current power wiring that is embedded inside the walls of residences. It is found in homes, offices, restaurants, stores, training institutes, schools, and other public facilities, all powered by electrical wiring run through ducts in the walls, from electrical cabinets to appliances. The light is then supplied to the lighting via a switch.

Current light switch locations pose challenges due to the random distances between all involved elements, such as the switch, power lines, and power outlets. The most complex part of installing the "system" is the lighting wiring, which includes the live (L) and neutral (N) wires.

This complexity is due to the mix of "wallbox locations". The switch is mounted on the wall box. Wiring run for a given number of lighting locations greatly complicates home lighting setup. (See Figure 2A)
The current situation requires the ducts to extend from the main power cabinet, pass through the wall and ceiling through a chain of wallboxes, and all of the above from the wallbox to the lighting requires a very long and complex duct. guided by.

On the other hand, the neutral (N) wire must be run together with some live (L) wires, and the L wires can be run without N wires or in some cases in the shortest possible way which would be complicated and expensive. installed in the duct.

The next hurdle is how to automate mechanical on/off or finger-touch-activated light control lights, or finger-press-activated light switches that can be re-pressed.

Previous solutions may include magnetic pull or magnetic relays, but magnetic relays are too complex and costly. The only possible solution is the introduction of a hybrid switch and its circuit by the applicant (see U.S. Pat. , 10B, 11, and 12.

Although Applicant's Hybrid Switch discloses a solution for home automation, the difficulties of lighting power wiring remain.

Applying added hybrid switches and circuits requires more space, which is impractical for lighting equipment.
The same goes for curtains, shutters, AI and IoT devices, with minimal functionality and little value. Wiring remains the most important thing and should be removed from light switches and wall boxes.

Both lighting and electrical equipment require the installation of new ductwork and the use of new and innovative power-of-flight (POF).

Solutions to home automation problems require major/fundamental changes and are cascaded and related to various elements, including throughout each part of the POF. ISB power is limited to supplying AC or DC only to power outlets and not older switches that are many years old.

Light control The cascaded signals through the wallbox, including the devices and electrical equipment in the light and cascade chain, are managed by the home controller through the light signal, which can be called a major change.

Flexible POF cables are much easier to route. POF is terminated by cutting. POF is assisted by a wide variety of portable testers, hand tools, or other tools that allow for easy, hassle-free disconnection and plug-in at the touch of a finger. Some of them are U.S. Pat. has been disclosed.

The above paragraphs are written to demonstrate simplicity versus the difficulty of preparing an acceptable system that should be simple in nature. The above proves that the simplicity of past illumination was/is wrong throughout.

As mentioned above, a major subject within the domestic power grid is lighting wiring, which requires solutions to difficulties regarding power lines, and especially as explained above, and further explained in some detail. The goal is to eliminate the complexity of switches and terminals.

Here, the live and neutral wires (L and N) need to power the bulb, and only the live wire L needs to be routed to the bulb through the duct and switch.

At least one light and switch is located in every room or area of the residence or in any facility of the building.

Note that the neutral line N is fixedly routed through the duct(s), but is not routed to the switch.

To simplify wiring for lighting, Applicants refer to U.S. Pat. Reference and further introduce light-controlled light actuators (BLAs) into automated cascaded lighting grids to form a simplified cascaded grid system. This eliminates lighting power lines from cascaded ISBs.

By restricting the AC or DC power lines that supply power through the electrical outlet (Figures 6A to 8), the hybrid switch can be configured and installed in at least one lighting wall cabinet operated via a home controller. It will be done. (See Figures 10-12)
Provides a power push key for every individual hybrid switch, allowing for on/off switching of any household lighting. This is the optimal solution for lighting in case of system failure.

Simply put, the complexity of extensive lighting wiring through many ducts and wall boxes is history that should not be forgotten.

The power lines L and N required to power the light bulbs and hybrid switches are routed directly from the main power cabinet to one or more lighting cabinets. In a cascaded chain, one N wiring is connected via several ducts, and the L wiring is connected via an N wiring duct and/or a given number of local short ducts.

The previous ducts to run wires from the wall box, such as connecting AC lines to light switches, are no longer needed. The L and N wiring within the ISB is to supply and measure power consumption via the AC outlet. Prior art light switches are not suggested in this application.

Separating the AC wiring from the neutral wire, which required complex wiring, ducting, and wallbox entry and exit, eliminates the need for multiple ducts that cannot be automated. The current BLA can be said to have made home automation a reality through a cascaded POF and home controller combined with a hybrid switch.

Connections to lighting connected by power lines and switches are a thing of the past. The hybrid switch is operated remotely and by key press. For a better understanding of lighting circuit configurations and solutions, please refer to FIGS. 10A-12 and US Pat. No. 10,686,535.
Hybrid switches are perfect for remotely controlling all the lights in a given residence.

Only a hybrid switch or its circuit can connect power to all lights from one center through limited ducting. The home controller can call through a given light control or as assigned through a given ISB and activate the lights within milliseconds through the lighting cabinet and/or the BLA as programmed. It can be so.

With proper automation, current light switches can be replaced with light-controlled actuators (BLAs). 10A to 12 describe how a hybrid switch can be used to connect lighting cabinets along power lines, supplied from an electrical cabinet as planned, or indicated via a hybrid switch.
On the other hand, plugging the BLA into many ISBs for lighting any and all of the many lights configured via the occupant will turn the lights on or off via the controller and all light control actuators. Switch to

The only power drawn directly from the ISB is for powering all electrical appliances and devices (including form lighting) that are supplied from the electrical outlet. Lighting power lines are not drawn directly from the ISB.

Another objective is that the complete removal of lighting power cables from electrical outlets provides savings in materials, time, installation and operating costs for residential lighting.

The term "standard size and shape" is another objective achieved by the present invention, providing the hybrid switch with a structure that can be fitted with different key levers, such as flat push and flat rocker keys, and the variety of available We offer you the freedom to choose from a wide variety of lever and decorative cover and frame sizes, including various designs and colors, which are commonly introduced into the construction/electrical industry by switch manufacturers and are Can be defined as having an outlet half the width of a given outlet, or twice the width of a given "flat key".

"Flat key" hereinafter and in the claims refers to a flat key of a hybrid switch operated by a manual toggle or rocker switch operated by pressing the entire key surface and pressing designated areas of the key.
The next item is an outlet cabinet that has the same plane and height as the AC outlet. It includes the combination switch shown in the disclosure modified to have the currently disclosed dual size and shape shown in FIGS. 9A-9B.

Figure 9A shows the current modified ISB plug-in dual combination switch. FIG. 9B shows a block diagram of a newly introduced combi-switch circuit employing well-known devices.

Here, the body structure now has a modified size and shape of the locking/guide elements, height, and standard plug-in functionality to the width of a given duplex. The "width" of these two series is the width of two series. A tact-operated (push button) switch or other on/off push switch that changes from on to off and off to on.

Combi-tact switches can be worn for use with hearing aid systems. In particular, soft finger touches may not be compatible with toggling. On the other hand, tactile switches require a small amount of force from the user.

Yet another item is the dual outlet shown in Figures 7, 8, 13, 14, 15 and 16 to accommodate the newly modified variety of AC outlets around the world. It is structured to have an improved and simplified inner case, terminals and outer case. Has an internal safety slider and all elements and internal parts become plug-in outlets without the use of a single screw, internally or externally, allowing you to plug in an electrical outlet or ISB without the use of screws It is configured as follows.

The cited figures 7-16 show the casing, internal casing parts, casing internal terminals, and self-locking power terminal contacts.
Figure 17 shows the ease of plugging in various electrical outlets and various plug-in light switches that are horizontal and vertical plug-ins into the ISB.

Figure 18A discloses 18A.2, 3 with two assembled contacts 18A.1 and power connection terminals 18A.1 and 18A.12 and 18A.13, which, based on the applicant's knowledge, Assisting flat socket contacts for engaging two outlet sockets into a plug load.

The illustrations 18A.4 - 18A.6 show sockets of round construction for round plug pins used in the United States or Europe and other countries. The designs and techniques shown in 18A.4 - 18A.16 and 18A.7-18A.11 are known metalwork and there is no need to explain the details shown. It is important to demonstrate and explain that this plug-in outlet is novel and original.

The term "standard size and shape" with respect to the present invention and claims refers to touchpads, such as single switches, hybrid switches, relays, or single touchpads, and other single 'd' accessories. We also use the term "ren" as a reference to the size and shape of things like intelligent IoT devices.
The terms "run" and "run" are defined as the standard shape and size of a given switching or operating device for at least one given instrument. A series occupies a single mounting space within the ISB. A "single touch key" can include two or more touch keys, one or more icons for a given electrical device.

The term "duplex" has the size and shape to introduce an outlet device, such as at least one AC outlet, used for electrical outlets known in a given country or region. See Figures 7 and 8. "Double" occupies two mounting spaces in the support box. A dual AC outlet can combine two AC sockets, while a single switch can combine SPST (single pole single throw), SPDT (single pole double throw) DPST (double pole single throw) and DPDT (double pole double throw). A switching device can be provided.

A "multi-strand device" is defined as a device that occupies space in three or more ``strands'' of an ISB. This requires complex circuitry and/or sensors and/or optical and/or RFID access to the ISB, or has a signal bandwidth that requires a separate optical transceiver or RFID antenna. Requires ISB.

Note that different methods apply to plug-in devices (switches or outlets). Here, the switch can be plugged horizontally into a vertically mounted ISB or vertically into a horizontally mounted ISB.

Such outlets can be plugged into any shape as long as they are correctly plugged into both horizontally and vertically mounted ISBs.

Due to this limitation, this application presents two versions of AC outlets that are properly designed to allow any device to be plugged into a horizontally or vertically mounted ISB plug-in receptacle.

Additionally, a similar modified structure can be applied to ISBs to allow selected outlets and switches to be plugged into a given ISB mounted horizontally or vertically.

For such applications, switches, outlets, IoT, AI, curtains, blinds controllers or any other for operating electrical equipment and/or devices within the premises of a residence, office or a given other building. It is possible to configure the ISB in a square or rectangular structure (not shown) to accommodate any of the device(s), whether vertical and/or horizontal.

The doubling of size has allowed the applicant to obtain and connect vertically and horizontally mounted ISBs without modification, as never before. These changes require the reconfiguration of electrical outlets (more than 20 types) in all countries, which the applicant considers to be unique patented items. (As shown in Figures 14, 15, 16 and 17.) This makes such an internal-external construction outlet patentable.

The introduction of horizontal and/or vertical plug-in power outlets has made it possible for the first time to design and assemble plug-in electrical grid elements (outlets and switches) that function as if they were a Lego game. The term Lego refers to the well-known cubic game structure.

The ISB disclosed in US Pat. No. 9,219,358 communicates between the cascaded ISB connections via a POF or other "optical cable" which is claimed to include an RF antenna. Practical restrictions on optical or RF signals prohibit the introduction of low-voltage copper wires between or into wallboxes containing ISBs mixed with AC live or neutral wires or other wires Electrical and Architectural This is the standard.
POF is flame retardant, a perfect insulator, and is allowed to be mixed and intermixed with AC equipment and AC power lines with AC power.

The disclosed ISBs that are linked in a cascade and directly linked to the controller via the POF (the first ISB in the cascade) are terminated at each end of the POF such that they are terminated with a sharp cut using a POF cutting cutter. This is a preferred example of connection via.

The terminal end of the POF is disclosed to be attached to the "optical access" (optoport) by a push-in operation and further locked to the optoport via a locking screw. Alternatively, the cut end can be locked with a simple push through the structured locking element without the need for special tools.

This approach allows all elements of the ISB to be pluggable, such as electrical wires, POFs, and plug-in devices including AC-powered and AC-powered equipment such as IoT devices, including various features and specifications. do.

In particular, IoT and/or AI devices linked to electrical and/or home automation grids, such as referencing humidity, temperature, illumination, movement and other known environmental factors included in other "standard plug-in devices" Perform at least one function of. "Standard Plug-in Devices" are described and referenced above.

Introducing IoT and Ai devices into the internal power grid is another major objective of the preferred embodiment of the present invention enabled by POF.

Other communications via IoT and Ai devices include RF via a given antenna, IR via an IR transceiver (transmitter or transceiver), and optical signals via an opto port as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 9,219,358. provides data and command communication through the LAN, and communicates at low speeds to operate electrical equipment and report power consumption.

IoT, Ai and other devices require faster optical signal communication to exchange data with other intelligent devices (IoT and/or Ai devices) and/or through the same opto-port or Communicate both the referenced low speed and/or higher speed via two separate optical grids.

Current techniques that allow only one RF signal to be transmitted at a time are limited to one related to each other and further communication between the above IoT and AI devices, and are transmitted by two separate optical grids. Either of the signals at both speeds provided allows only one RF signal to be transmitted.

Individual cascaded grids consist of terminated POF sections (cuts), with each cut propagating its signal through a "4-way" optoport.

4-way slow and/or faster provides command and response propagation to and from electrical equipment and controllers through a given outlet and through one of the slower and faster signals. Communicate short protocols and commands.
Providing high-speed lines to IoT and AI devices and extending communication faster is the ability to operate artificial intelligence devices (given electrical equipment) to communicate data and/or mixed data and protocols. Thus, creating higher speeds for data propagation is essential.

Low-speed or high-speed cascading optoports require that each optoport consist of a bidirectional optical transceiver, each for bidirectional communication, i.e., for responding to commands or data. receive and/or transmit commands or data in both directions to propagate commands or data to the next opt port of the next cascaded intelligent box in the cascade. They can be slow, fast, or both.

A single cascaded optoport that operates in both directions actually receives commands, responds, sends commands to the next (cascade connection), and exchanges data in all four directions. It is a dual two-way or "four-way" connection, exchange point for optical signals, such as repropagation of responses for completion.

Therefore, optical signal propagation can actually be viewed in four directions. The repetition of the response to the first transmission is backpropagation in each direction. Collisions of inverting signals are not tolerated by the detection of motion of the detected propagating signal by the receiving element of the optoport transceiver, whether a low speed signal or a high speed signal, as disclosed in US Pat. No. 10,225,005.

High speed and 4-way propagation is provided through a setup of ISBs linked through two POFs, the second POF is for higher speeds and for the above signals regarding AI, IoT devices and other high speed devices. It is clear that operations and references to the following can be handled.

Low speed signals can be detected using short protocols consisting of 5 bytes, such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 8,170,722, or by optical transistors used in optical transceivers as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 8,340,527. For example, a detection period of 0.1 to 2 milliseconds provides sufficient time to block or prevent the optoport's optical transmitter from transmitting. do.

For faster signals, the detection and processing time may be insufficient to prevent collisions, and furthermore, for faster optical signals of 100K bits or more, the use of phototransistors is not recommended.

The processing speed of a phototransistor is slow, and the amplification of a phototransistor is nonlinear, which limits its speed. For higher speed, it is preferable to use a photodiode or an optodiode.
On the other hand, the phototransistor provides self-amplification, and the signal detected by the optodiode must be amplified, timed, and shaped by costly additional circuitry. Furthermore, multiprocessing introduces a time delay in sensing the light of the signal or its propagated motion through the cascaded POFs and therefore may not be effective in ensuring no collisions. .

Cascading POF disconnections for high-speed communications is not the subject of this invention; optical processing speeds include a newly devised optoport consisting of direct optical access to the transmitter and receiver optics; Includes signal sensing circuit and transmission start time.

The newly introduced optoport elements and circuits greatly enhance the intellectual functionality of the intelligent IoT and Ai box, which is the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Introducing a high-speed optical grid into a given facility's electrical grid ISB introduces a high-speed grid that cascades between groups of boxes. Installations of such high-performance grids may not perform as intended unless the grid has been tested and verified, or adjusted, tested, and modified to perform as designed. Unable to complete.
It is preferred and another objective that the testing machine disclosed in U.S. Pat. This takes into account that the installer is not a fiber optic communications installer and is not familiar with optical signal propagation.

Optical testers can be combined with calibration testers for calibrating intelligent AC outlets that measure AC current and calculate the power consumed by the load, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. is incorporated herein by reference.

The disclosed optical signal tester is used with a hand pull tool to release and remove structured enclosures of hybrid switches, AC outlets, IoT, and AI devices.
These correspond to a variety of sensors in the internal and external environment, detecting functions and details of what is currently known, or currently unknown, but to be introduced in the future.
All are connected through the cutting of at least one POF segment of multiple cascaded optical segments of the POF grid, each segment for termination as disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 8,453,332 and 8,596,174. Terminated by a sharp cut with a manual cutting tool.

Combined hand tools provide combined assistance to electrical installers to simplify and facilitate installation and configuration, as disclosed in many of the US patents listed in the prior art above. Additional substantial support is incorporated herein by reference.

Deploying wallbox ISB(s) within a given building, whether an individual house or a high-rise apartment building, is often problematic.
It includes various physical elements and may not be accessible down to the optical fiber, such as cutting and terminating the POF segment directly (not indirectly) to other boxes and/or system distributors, or controllers.

Connecting the entirety of a given ISB requires a complete replacement of wiring equipment devices and boxes, which can result in high cost and inconvenience to residents and residents.

For that reason, inside ISBs and facilities, for some of the elements and combinations, including optical, RF and IR or optical and IR, optical and RF, RF and IR, including RF or IR in space. There is an option to provide a wireless grid.

Additionally, referenced U.S. Patents 7,973,647, 8,170,722, 8,639,465, and many other U.S. patents include Optical to RF, RF to Optical, Optical to Electrical, Electrical to Optical, IR (Optical) Bidirectional command converters are disclosed that include from to RF, from RF to IR, from IR to electrical, from electrical to IR, from RF to electrical, from electrical to RF, and combinations thereof.
Multiple boxes can be assigned to a given area and cascaded for communication between them, along with other circuits in the ISB for electrical, optical, IR or RF, and/or combinations thereof. Deploying ISB powered via
Another objective is to partition communications and protocols to prevent collisions of non-optical signals by restricting the transmission of a given selected signal to only one, as managed and controlled by the home controller. It is.

Shorten protocols by providing different frequencies and/or modulations for electrical and RF signals and reducing the number of bits and address length. Contains a program that prevents communication collisions with two or more ISBs within a given configured segmented cascade connection line. The details are further detailed in the preferred embodiment.

Additionally, well-known cordless telephones operate in the 25-60 MHz band for internal communications within buildings. Using modulation signals such as FM, AM, ASK, FSK and other well-known modulations for 8 or 16 zones or channels.

The use of a unified common encoding protocol for all frequencies (as an example) can be adapted for communication between ISB and/or standard plug-in support boxes and between multiple IoT and AI devices. can use voice commands through connected IoT or AI plug-in devices using well-known RF transceivers and antennas.

As discussed above, lighting wiring is complex, time consuming, and involves pre-designed conduit work that can usually be changed before the building is completed. Once installed, changes can be cumbersome and costly.

The installer's desire is to have the grid and ductwork to all lighting independent of the wallbox.

Applicant's hybrid switch (Hiber ^TM ) (see U.S. Pat. It makes it possible to introduce the first central lighting wall cabinet and/or panel that physically connects home lighting and operates either a hybrid switch with the press of a key and a controller command. Note that a single lighting power supply line is not connected to every ISB.

Instead of providing power to the switch, the ISB provides optical data to the controller via a cascaded POF grid. The wall cabinet operates according to controller commands based on data provided by the ISB.

Plugged-in outlets (without switching functionality) provide AC power to power AC loads connected to the ISB's AC outlets at any time and report power consumption to the controller via cascading POFs .

A plugged-in light-controlled light switch is connected to the ISB and operates lights and other loads with the touch of a finger as programmed. There are no measurement wires, so the actual power consumed is supplied, calculated and reported by the controller as programmed.

A further objective is the introduction of a new range of 1 - 4 combination switches ^TM (COS ) is a plug-in combination switch that plugs into a number of duplexes (outlet connectors) compatible with ) to report the status and power consumption of many lights.

Each light-controlled light-operated switch (light switch or BLA), further disclosed below, is optically operated by two LEDs, installed, and operated by the CPU of the (ISB). It indicates the status of the switch and generates a light control light towards the combination switch. Another element of the (ISB) is a phototransistor that identifies and reports on-off states.

A new plug-in casing is introduced in the size of a dual plug-in for outlets within the ISB, which includes an LED and a phototransistor to identify, display and report on-off status to the ISB's CPU.

The complexity and cost of the lighting system is directly related to the wiring through the old wall box. For example, each chandelier or even a single light bulb needs to be switched, and even for chandeliers or multi-light bulbs, each luminaire requires at least one or more switches.

Each light must be connected via at least two AC wires (or DC power wires).

A typical house of approximately 100 ^m2 has 20 to 25 light bulbs and 20 to 25 on/off switches. Each bulb must be connected with two wires: a neutral wire and a live wire.

Multiple ducts and wiring are (partially) routed separately. The high cost of installing lighting equipment needs to be addressed. The present application further introduces the most efficient way to simplify the cost of lighting wiring and ducting and wiring, including power consumption reporting by light control actuators and/or combi-switches, providing yet another new objective.
a light-controlled optical actuator with a combi-switch generates a light signal or a light-controlled light, each communicating with the combi-switch and the light-controlled actuator via a given cascaded POF through at least one cascaded POF; Here, the combi-switches are further operated by combi-switch key presses or via light commands provided by the home controller in response to key presses assigned to a given combi-switch.

The first ever lighting hybrid cabinet or panel works in concert with cascaded ISBs and is operated by parallel on-off switches via a common push key in the hybrid switch.

The push combination key is a new introduction and is not a mechanical hybrid switch. Mechanical hybrid switches are not known to be operated by optical light-controlled actuators.

Known hybrid switches include hybrid switches for lighting an entire home and are not known to generate on/off commands for lights via POF to a given lighting cabinet.

Together, light-controlled light interrupts and combi-switches provide system engineers and electrical installers with purpose and freedom to design central lighting cabinets and efficiently configure wall ducting. Set up the panel to connect the L (live) and N (neutral) power lines through. Single or multiple lighting cabinets, live and neutral power lines fed from hybrid switches are used for each interior and perimeter lighting of the residence.

The above-mentioned lighting cabinets and/or panels, and hybrid switches operated by home controllers, are based on light signals propagated from light-controlled lights or light-controlled light actuators or combi-switches.
It is important to note that each given plug-in switch is self-configured via the ISB, which records the given plug-in switch, and is subsequently configured with details via the controller's display screen. be.

An on or off command to a given hybrid switch is propagated optically through the cascade POF to the home controller and from the controller to the given hybrid switch.

In the rare case that the light control light actuator or combi switch is defective and cannot generate commands, or in the rare case that the controller is defective, the occupants of that home may manually (with a finger touch) turn on any of the lights, or It can be operated via the push keys assigned to each hybrid switch on the panel.

The term "touch" or "finger touch" and/or "soft touch" refers to the use of wall-mounted or other permanently mounted push keys for switching lighting elements "on" or "off". Referring to a soft touch with a finger and/or the term "push" or "soft press" may be used to replace the term "touch" and/or "soft touch", including in the claims.
The expressions "soft,""push," or "touch" are used in this application and claims to mean a push by the user that interrupts "light control light" in the visible or non-visible spectrum that passes through it. , or applied to a soft press or push pressure that actuates the key to block the "light control light" from passing through the opening described in this presentation.

The two different terms "touch" or "push" refer to the firm press of the ISB and wall-mounted light switch keys.

"Other light controlled light switch" is a wearable light switch attached to a decoratively designed shirt or the like, or a wearable light switch attached to a wearable necktie or other wearable.

Light-controlled lights and combi-switches differ in their disclosed functions, with the former switching on-off (e.g. lights) and the other increasing or decreasing (up or down) the volume level in steps. However, the basic functionality of the switch, i.e. SPST or SPDT functionality, is the same for both.

It can be said that the DPST and DPDT functions are the same through the dual optical cascade connection grid lines through the ISB. It is known that optical switches are formed based on the light source color spectrum.

We would like to emphasize that the optical switch of the invention is operated by interrupting (disconnecting) the optical signal supplied via the POF or any other optical cable, whether straight or curved. Both are still unpublished.

In contrast, combi-switches are introduced into existing home automation (cascaded via POF) and require an additional optical switch, but modify or add to existing ducting or wiring. Can not.

Plug-in combi switches are introduced to provide a plug-in device that replaces a given dual outlet with a link to a given ISB optical access to wirelessly turn on and off 1 to 4 lights. .

Further combi-switch details are disclosed in the description of FIGS. 9A-9B and related text above.

The commonality of basic control and communication via optical signals between home automation and hearing aids is undeniable. Both hearing aids and home controllers need to solve the past and present fundamental problems by optical switches, as disclosed above.

The decorative surfaces of keys and outlets are preferably equipped with communication connectors, such as the known RJ-45 or USB connectors for connecting routers, printers and other PC peripherals, and/or audio connectors, cable TV connectors, TV antennas. , or include antenna sockets or audio sockets for connecting low-voltage devices via parabolic antennas, which are in a similar standard enclosure and of standard construction and size to match the plug-in structure of the hybrid switch of the intelligent outlet It is.

Applicant's suggestion that half the size and shape as disclosed in US Pat. No. 10,225,005 apply to home controllers is not common in patent applications. Applicant apologizes for some combinations that may not clearly convey Applicant's intent relating to both home automation and hearing aids.

Examiners handling this application may be confused by unclear orientation and combinations that touch on individual items, elements, devices, or systems, and the applicant will not normally consider them to be unitary. I give this explanation first with the purpose of introducing a very important common singularity.

As we all know, but don't understand why, home automation fails and home automation remains obsolete.

At the same time, the history of hearing aids dates back to 1940-1945, when phototubes were used for amplification, and in the 1960s, when light bulbs began to be phased out, hearing aids are no longer relevant today. A hearing aid standard was created that was of limited size. Creating natural hearing aids is not easy, so now is the time to find ways to enable people to have hearing aids with the necessary self-control capabilities.

Hearing aids are man-versus-machine, and home automation is a decorative device versus home, facing the issue of control needed. No device can replace the current ability to programmatically control an entire home. However, the electrical industry is looking for something impractical to replace home controllers. Some of the household devices are under strict controls and regulations, they cannot be violated and can be replaced, but some are based on legacy sizes and are a big obstacle, No step has been taken to change the electricity structure of the country.

Another remaining home automation item that should be further explained is how to set up at least one of the home automation power grids and networks, which can replace century-old wiring, screws, and terminals with a reliable power supply. (N19.3, GND19.11, AC19.7 in Figure 19A), shorten the depth from the back of the ISB, and connect three different power lines (L: Live, N: Neutral, G: Ground). ) into suitable wiring for introducing cascading power lines.

Figures 18B and 19A and 19B clearly disclose details and techniques for latching the stripped wires LNG, 9.3-19.11 and 19.7. The other tool involved is the release tool 280 shown in Figure 19C, which is a known hand tool for releasing locked elements such as 19.8-1 - 19.8-3, and is unique The three springs without lock the wiring tightly and can be released by all three release tools 19.94.
Cascading ISBs enable the elimination of century-old integration methods for at least one electrical wiring in residential and commercial facilities, with each ISB connecting directly to said electrical grid and at least one electrical wiring device plugged into said electrical grid. one to at least one load. The plurality of ISBs communicate with controllers, distributors and command converters via at least one of bidirectional optical signals via one of a cascaded grid of optical cables and wireless RF and IR signals propagated through space. connected to at least one of the
The ISB includes a CPU, at least one of a configuration selector and memory for loading the configuration and detailed data, and circuitry for manipulating and calculating power consumed by each load via the hardwire device. and a communication circuit for communicating at least one bidirectional signal with the one of the controller and command converter via the one of the home automation grid and network, the method comprising:
reading detailed data regarding each installed ISB (Intelligent Support Box) structured to include data regarding the at least one wiring device into the memory via the communication circuit;
identifying the installation location of each of the intelligent support boxes within the facility by one of the configuration selectors and via the controller or via one of the handheld loader and pad; configuring one of an identification number and code and an address.

Applicant requests that examiners carefully consider the issue regarding ordinary light bulbs via ordinary wall switches. There are differences in the performance of lighting installed by specialized contractors, and it is unclear why the optimal solution for lighting methods has not been found.

One big problem is that the space inside a residential wall box (as it has been since Edison's time in the 1880s) remains 4 x 4 inches. Although the problem has persisted for many years, it can be said that these concerns have not been challenged. Figure 2A illustrates the reality and clearly shows the current problem.

Another problem with today's lighting is that almost all light bulbs use LEDs and require a low voltage supply, and that demand is increasing. It is worth noting that whether it is a 12V, 100V or 250V voltage supply, the above is the simple part, you cannot light a light bulb without wires and contacts (switches), and wires (in all shapes) are not suitable for AC or DC is required to supply power in any case.

With the increasing number of lights and many problems, the industry is looking for ways to eliminate wiring. But without going back to basics, we can say that you can't turn on a light bulb without a power source and a switch. Wiring problems are due to the location of switches, the location of lights, and ducts inside walls.

The above does not include wireless or proposed wiring in any form, and likewise no contacting or coupled elements are disclosed.

The industry has proposed shortening the length of wiring and exploring ways to fabricate and/or apply wireless or contactless devices.

Although the applicant foresees and discloses a light-controlled light element within this application for the realization of a light cut-off switch, it is not just a light cut-off, nor a counter, or as a filing patent listing. It is not a substantially imaginative application.

None of what has been discussed, shown, or proposed is an imaginary hybrid switch(es) or an imaginary light-controlled switch. About two years ago, a new switch idea emerged under the term optically controlled switch. Optical control is activated by disconnecting the optical cable. Some people believed that light controls could be used to make switches, but light controls cannot create or carry electrical power. Electrical light is the result of visually generated light control light.

To that end, Applicants disclose "light-controlled" and "light-controlled" switches that operate by interrupting plastic optical fibers and closing contacts, respectively.
In all cases for these switches the absolute necessity of a hybrid switch or hybrid circuit is disclosed. Applicant has issued U.S. Patents No. 9,018,803, No. 9,036,320, No. 9,219,358, No. 9,257,147, No. 9,541,911 and No. 10,586,671 from 2015 to 2020 regarding hybrid switches and hybrid circuits. Light controls including combi-switches are applied together within this application.
