A device and method for controlling a host apparatus (300) through a wireless link with a personal controller (10). The device includes a wireless communications module (202) configured to communicate with personal controller (10) via a peer-to-peer communications standard. The device connects to host apparatus (300) via a plug and receptacle interface (206) which includes power and signal pins. The device simulates an actuation signal using a reed relay (216) to cause host apparatus (300) to perform a function.

1. A device for controlling an electrical apparatus through a wireless communications link with a personal controller, the personal controller having a processor, a user interface, and a wireless communications transceiver, said device comprising: a wireless communications control module operable for wireless communication with the personal controller, said wireless communications control module including a first radio transceiver and a second radio transceiver, said first radio transceiver being configured to communicate with the personal controller using a peer-to-peer communications standard;an interface connection including at least two power pins and at least one signal pin, said interface connection being configured to physically connect to a receptacle of the electrical apparatus; anda microcontroller configured to control, through said interface connection, the electrical apparatus based at least in part on instructions communicated from the personal controller through said wireless control module, said microcontroller being configured to operate said wireless control module in more than one mode, said microcontroller being configured to operate said wireless control module in a first mode using the peer-to-peer communications standard, said microcontroller being configured to operate said first radio transceiver of said wireless control module in a first mode using the peer-to-peer communications standard, said microcontroller being configured to operate said second radio transceiver of said wireless control module in a second mode using a non-peer-to-peer communications standard. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein said microcontroller is configured to operate said wireless control module in the first and second modes concurrently. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein said microcontroller is configured to function as a network client device while operating in the second mode. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein the peer-to-peer communications standard is Bluetooth. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein said interface connection includes a USB plug configured to engage the receptacle of the electrical apparatus. 6. The device of claim 1, wherein the electrical apparatus is a lighting controller. 7. The device of claim 1, wherein the electrical apparatus is a garage door opener. 8. The device of claim 1, wherein the electrical apparatus is a pump. 9. The device of claim 1, wherein the electrical apparatus is an air conditioner. 10. The device of claim 1, wherein said microcontroller is used to set a unique Wi-Fi address ID for said device. 11. The device of claim 1, wherein the user defined parameters include an operating parameter for each mode. 12. The device of claim 1, wherein the personal controller is a smartphone. 13. The device of claim 1, further comprising a non-volatile memory configured to store user-defined parameters loaded into said memory from the personal controller. 14. The device of claim 13, wherein the user defined parameters include an operating parameter for each mode. 15. The device of claim 1, wherein the electrical apparatus is without any integral visual display. 16. The device of claim 1, further comprising a clock calendar configured to permit time or date dependent operations. 17. The device of claim 16, wherein said clock calendar is an embedded function in said microcontroller.
