Abstract

A system controls a first switch terminal of a building occupied by one or more building occupant. The system includes a plurality of switch terminals at the building. A first computer system is coupled to the first switch terminal or equivalent of the building at a first location of the building. The first computer system runs on at least one platform. A first plurality of sensors is coupled to the first switch terminal and the first computer system. At least a portion of the sensors provide signal data to the first computer system. The first computer system produces a command or data output that relates to at least one of: a command output for a local control system, a command output for a different system, a data output for a different system, a command output for a non-local device or a data output that is a non-local device. A locking mechanism is configured to couple wiring components to circuitry wiring without live points of contact.

Claims (22)

1 . A system for controlling a first switch terminal or equivalent of a building occupied by one or more building occupants, comprising:

one or more switch terminals the system including a plurality of switch terminal parameters for a switch terminal relative to the building, comprising:

a first computer system coupled to the first switch terminal or equivalent of the building at a first location of the building;

a first plurality of sensors coupled to the first switch terminal or equivalent and the first computer system, at least a portion of the sensors are configured to provide signal data to the first computer system, the first computer system producing a command or data output that relates to at least one of: a command output for a local control system, a command output for a different system, a data output for a different system, a command output for a non-local device or a data output that is a non-local device; and

a locking mechanism configured to couple wiring components to circuitry wiring without live points of contact.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism provides the coupling without screw terminals or fixed friction connect terminals.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism is a mechanical locking mechanism.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism is a magnetic locking system.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism is an electrical locking mechanism.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism is at an exterior surface of the switch terminal.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism including a sliding element.

8 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the locking mechanism provides a resistance of decoupling a circuit wiring from a wiring component.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism allows for repeated coupling and decoupling.

10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism includes a release element that deactivates the coupling.

11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism provides for a coupling without damaging circuit wiring.

12 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism allows for a reinsertion of a it to be re-inserted of circuitry wiring in a same or another opening to achieve the coupling.

13 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism includes a pivot element 514 with a pivot point.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the locking mechanism includes a release mechanism.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the locking mechanism includes a pivoted bar coupled to the pivot element.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the locking mechanism includes a spring element configured to act on pivot element.

17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the pivot bar is a Pawl element.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the Pawl bar includes teeth at one end.
