A switch conversion apparatus including an interface device, a mounting plate configured to mount to a toggle switch and including at least one aperture for receiving a toggle arm of a toggle switch, and an actuator plate configured to slidably engage the mounting plate and including at least one aperture for receiving and engaging a toggle arm of a toggle switch when engaged by the interface device so as to transition the state of the switch. Other embodiments of a switch conversion apparatus include one or more mechanical, electrical, and/or pneumatic timers. 1. A switch conversion apparatus , comprising:a motion translating interface assembly, said assembly mechanically translating an interaction in a first direction of movement into a motion in a second direction of movement, different from the first direction of movement;a mounting plate configured to mount to a toggle switch and including at least one aperture for receiving a toggle arm of a toggle switch;an actuator plate configured to slidably engage the mounting plate and including at least one aperture for receiving and engaging a toggle arm of a toggle switch when said actuator plate is mechanically engaged by the motion translating interface assembly, to transition the state of the switch; andone or more channels for slidably engaging the mounting plate and the actuator plate.2. The switch conversion apparatus of claim 1 , further including:a cover configured to attach to the mounting plate and further configured to rotatably mount the interface assembly,wherein the interface assembly is a paddle including a curved surface and a plurality of sector gear teeth disposed proximate the curved surface,wherein the actuator plate includes a plurality of rack gear teeth configured to engage the plurality of sector gear teeth, andwherein the mounting plate includes at least one channel for slidably receiving at least a portion of the actuator plate.3. The switch conversion apparatus of claim 1 , further including ...
