Abstract
A multi-function switch for controlling various functions of building systems includes a board stack with a plurality of PCBs configured to reside entirely within an off-the-shelf single gang wall switch box. The external components of the light switch have the appearance of a standard light switch familiar to the user. This reduces device clutter, complexity, user confusion, and expense by consolidating user-controlled building functions into a single device familiar to the user. By using an off-the-shelf switch box, the installation of the multi-function light switch avoids requirements of custom sized wall switch boxes. Given the relatively small dimensions of the switch box, the configuration and design of the board stack is non-trivial. The orientation of each PCB in the board stack, the connections between the PCBs in the stack, and the accommodation of any other components are such that the entirety of these components wholly reside within the switch box.
