<p>Described is a user interface particularly suited for use in a home automation system. This interface combines advantages of a conventional touch screen (such as ease of use and accurate 'key' placement) with the advantages of a conventional mechanical keypad (such as reduced cost and tactile feedback). The interface is well suited for use on any wallspace and may be easily reconfigured as necessary to support a host of system functions. The interface utilizes a backlit LCD separated into separate display sections (modules 15 and 17), each having a durable, scratch resistant lens (22). Cantilevered switches (14a to 14f) associated with each display are used to detect a user's selection of a displayed option.</p> |
