1. A method for configuring a keypad of a load control system comprising:
- providing the keypad comprising a button assembly, the button assembly having a plurality of buttons, arranged in a known order;
entering a configuration mode of the keypad by actuating a first subset of the plurality of buttons according to a first predefined sequence;
determining the number and type of buttons by actuating each of the plurality of buttons according to a second predefined sequence;
assigning a predefined set of functions to each of the determined plurality of buttons in the button assembly by actuating a second subset of the determined plurality of buttons according to a third predefined sequence; and
exiting the configuration mode by actuating a third subset of the determined plurality of buttons according to a fourth predefined sequence.

Abstract
A keypad capable of being configured with multiple button configurations with buttons of various heights is configured to recognize the button configuration through actuations of the buttons. The keypad is placed in a configuration mode by inputting an unresolvable condition to the keypad. Once in the configuration mode, the buttons are individually actuated in a predefined order to configure the size and function of each button.
