In the Teleswitch the configuration of the simple light switch has to take into account the
switching from a remote place. The remote actions can change the light state and consequently this
can be different according to the state of the switch. To solve this problem, the binding table was
configured to toggle the light state on each switch change, as presented in the Table 11.

Switch On (Input 0, Transition to up) Light state toggle (Output 0)
Switch Off (Input 0, Transition to down) Light state toggle (Output 0)
The Teleswitch was placed in the electrical derivation boxes that are present above the
division doors all over the flat. The electrical derivation boxes are the ideal place to locate the
Teleswitch devices, because it is the middle place in the electrical light circuit, i.e., the light bulb
power cables and light switch cables are connected.
