1. A handheld device for grouping a plurality of lighting fixtures comprising:
- a communication interface configured to wirelessly communicate with the plurality of lighting fixtures; and
circuitry configured to;
effect selection of at least two lighting fixtures of the plurality of lighting fixtures via the communication interface, wherein, to effect selection of the at least two lighting fixtures, the circuitry is further configured to;
sequentially select the at least two lighting fixtures; and
upon selecting each of the at least two lighting fixtures and before selecting a next one of the at least two lighting fixtures, instruct each of the at least two lighting fixtures via the communication interface to change its light output to provide human perceptible feedback indicative of being selected where the human perceptible feedback includes one of transitioning light to a defined color or color temperature, or flashing a light a certain number of times or at a certain rate;
determine a first group for the at least two lighting fixtures;
create first group assignment information for the first group; and
send the first group assignment information to each of the at least two lighting fixtures via the communication interface, wherein the first group assignment information is wirelessly transmitted from the communication interface and directed directly to each of the at least two lighting fixtures.
