1. A system configured to control power delivered from a power distribution source to an electrical load, the system comprising:
a control device that includes:
a housing having a front surface, a rear surface, and an outer periphery defined by a height and a width, the housing including one or more coupling features disposed on at least a portion of an external surface of the housing;
a slot disposed within the housing to receive an energy storage device;
at least one actuator provided at the front surface of the housing;
a radio-frequency (RF) transmitter circuitry disposed within the housing; and
controller circuitry disposed within the housing, the controller circuitry configured to cause the RF transmitter circuitry to transmit an RF signal for controlling the power delivered from a power distribution source to the electrical load in response to an actuation of the at least one actuator, the energy storage device, to power the RF transmitter circuitry and the controller circuitry;
a mounting bracket that includes:
one or more complimentary coupling features to engage the one or more coupling features on the housing to couple the control device to the mounting bracket; and
at least one mounting bracket attachment feature to permit attachment of the mounting bracket to a surface, wherein, after attachment to the surface, the mounting bracket couples to the housing in such a manner as to permit at least a portion of the housing to pass through, from a rear surface of to a front surface of a first aperture formed in an electrical faceplate.
