1. Power receptacle control circuitry comprising:
- load switching circuitry;
communications circuitry;
sensor circuitry comprising a light sensor;
processing circuitry coupled to the load switching circuitry, the communications circuitry, and the sensor circuitry; and
a memory coupled to the processing circuitry, the memory storing instructions, which, when executed by the processing circuitry cause the power receptacle control circuitry to;
selectively deliver power to a load via the load switching circuitry;
detect a modulated light signal via the light sensor; and
join a group of devices based on the modulated light signal.

Abstract
Power receptacle control circuitry includes load switching circuitry, communications circuitry, sensor circuitry, processing circuitry, and a memory. The sensor circuitry includes a light sensor. The processing circuitry is coupled to the load switching circuitry, the communications circuitry, the sensor circuitry, and the memory. The memory includes instructions, which, when executed by the processing circuitry cause the power receptacle control circuitry to selectively deliver power to a load via the load switching circuitry, detect a modulated light signal via the light sensor, and join a group of devices based on the modulated light signal.
