Abstract
A smart switch produces a signal responsive to movement of said switch between a first state and a second state. The said switch has a first state position and a second state position. The switch can be moved from said first state to said second state responsive to a force applied to said switch. The switch includes a transducer, such as a load cell, that is responsive to said force for producing a transducer signal indicative of the force applied to said switch. The transducer signal is indicative of the amount of movement of said switch from said first state to said second state.
