Abstract
Disclosed is a system for allowing a user to control electrical items. The system includes self-powered contactless one or more switches for controlling the electronic items, and a hub unit capacitively coupled to identify the user operating the one or more switches. The hub unit includes a frequency generator, a first impedance unit, a controller, a first electrode, a modulator, and an interface unit. The switch includes a second electrode, a rectifier, a buffer, a second impedance unit, a logic block, a shift register, and a second modulator. The user interacts with the second electrode to operate the connected electrical items. The interaction results in the change of a variable payload data. The controller identifies the interaction on decoding the change in the variable payload data and further the controller operates the connected electrical items.
