Identification of load control devices

A load control device for controlling an amount of power provided to a lighting load, the load control device comprising:

• a communication circuit configured to receive instructions;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• receive a command to indicate an address assigned to the load control device for controlling the lighting load, wherein the address comprises a number of digits;
• in response to the command, control an intensity of the lighting load to indicate the address assigned to the load control device, wherein to indicate the address comprises to indicate each digit of the address by at least one of:
• to increase or to decrease an intensity of the lighting load for a period of time to indicate the digit, or
• to flash the lighting load between increased and decreased intensities one or more times to indicate the digit;
• and
• receive, via the communication circuit, the instructions from a control device via the address, wherein the address is associated with a load control device identifier.

A method for indicating an address assigned to a load control device, wherein the address comprises a number of digits, and wherein the load control device controls an amount of power provided to a lighting load, the method comprising:

• instructing the load control device to control an intensity of the lighting load to indicate the address assigned to the load control device, wherein to indicate the address comprises to indicate each digit of the address by at least one of:
• instructing the load control device to increase or to decrease the intensity of the lighting load for a period of time to indicate the digit, or
• instructing the load control device to flash the lighting load between increased and decreased intensities one or more times to indicate the digit;
• identifying the address assigned to the load control device;
• and
• associating the address with a load control device identifier to define an association between the address and the load control device identifier, wherein the address is used to communicate instructions to the load control device.
