1. A method of programming a new preset intensity level of a load control device, the load control device operable to control an amount of power delivered to a lighting load from an AC power source, the method comprising the steps of:

  • controlling the intensity of the lighting load to a desired intensity level;

    periodically transmitting wireless transmissions, each including a command;

    in response to receiving a first one of the wireless transmissions, storing the desired intensity level of the lighting load in a memory;

    in response to receiving the first one of the wireless transmissions, controlling the intensity of the lighting load to an initial preset intensity level;

    in response to receiving a first predetermined number of the wireless transmissions, providing a visual indication representative of the desired intensity level, wherein no more than a first predetermined time period exists between any two consecutive transmissions of the first predetermined number of the wireless transmissions; and

    after the step of providing a visual indication and in response to receiving a second predetermined number of the wireless transmissions, setting the desired intensity level as the new preset intensity level in the memory, wherein no more than a second predetermined time period exists between any two consecutive transmissions of the second predetermined number of the wireless transmissions.
