AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION OF A LOAD CONTROL DEVICE
First Claim
1. A load control system for controlling an electrical load, the load control system comprising:
- a first device operable to transmit a first message;
a load control device configured to control the electrical load on or off in response to the first message when the load control device is associated with the first device and not associated with a second device; and
wherein, when the load control device is associated with the first device and the second device, the load control device is configured to turn the electrical load off but not turn the electrical load on in response to the first message, and to turn the electrical load on in response to a second message transmitted by the second device.

Abstract
A load control system for controlling an electrical load may include a sensor, a remote control, and a load control device. The remote control may comprise a button and may be configured to wirelessly transmit a digital message in response to an actuation of the button. The load control device may be configured to control the electrical load, be responsive to the sensor, and/or be configured to be associated with the remote control. The load control device may be responsive to the digital message transmitted by the remote control if the remote control is associated with the load control device. The load control device may be configured to automatically operate in a first mode of operation if the remote control is not associated with the load control device, and automatically operate in a second mode of operation if the remote control is associated with the load control device.
