Control devices for automatically and/or remotely controlling fixtures such as, for example, light fixtures and/or other electrical and/or electronic devices, by controlling, operating, and/or interacting with existing switches, controls, power sources, and/or other components already present in an environment of interest, and methods for their installation and use.

Automated operation of fixtures

An automation device to control a pre-existing light switch is described which attaches to the light switch by internal magnets at locations corresponding to the magnetic screw heads of the light switch. This makes installation a simple process requiring no hand tools or electrical connections be made with the light switch. The automation device can be wired or wirelessly controlled and works with both toggle light switches and rocker light switches. Additional functionalities include various timed and automated operations as well as device and user location determinations.
