Abstract

An electrical control system includes one or more master devices that are adapted to control the operation of one of more slave devices. The master and the slave devices are operably coupled by at least one radio frequency communication interface. The master devices are adapted to assign the slave devices to a delayed off mode of operation, define a time delay associated with each slave device, and activate the delayed off mode of operation. The slave devices include manually operated switches and are operably coupled to corresponding loads. During the delayed mode of operation, each slave device is adapted to delay a transition for the corresponding load from on to off by the time delay associated with the particular slave device.
