FACEPLATE FOR MULTI-SENSOR CONTROL DEVICE
A control device and face plate is described, where the faceplate includes a first region formed from a first material that is non-conductive, a second region that is formed a second material that is transparent to infrared radiation, and where the first region and the second region are seamlessly joined to form a unitary structure.
1 . A control device comprising:
a faceplate;
a control module, the control module including a first type of sensor to detect a touch input on the faceplate, and a second type of sensor to detect passive infrared radiation from an environment of the control device; and
wherein the faceplate is comprised of a first type of material over a first portion of the faceplate and a second type of material over a second portion of the faceplate, the second type of material being transparent to infrared radiation; and
wherein the first portion and second portion of the faceplate are seamlessly joined.
