1. A method of assigning a radio frequency transmit-only remote control device to a radio frequency load control system, the load control system comprising a plurality of two-way control devices that transmit and receive RF control signals to control the operation of electrical loads, the method comprising:

  • transmitting a plurality of enter address mode commands to the two-way control devices;

    pausing the transmission of the enter address mode commands for a predetermined period of time before repeating the transmission of the enter address modes commands;

    entering the transmit-only remote control device into an activation mode;

    transmitting from the transmit-only remote control device an activation request message that includes a unique identifier of the transmit-only remote control device;

    at a receiving control device of the load control system, receiving the activation request message from the transmit-only remote control device during the step of pausing the transmission of the enter address mode commands; and

    if the activation request message has been received, checking a memory of the receiving device to determine if the unique identifier is already stored, and, if not already stored, storing the unique identifier in the memory to assign the transmit-only remote control device to the load control system.
