Load control system having a visible light sensor

A method of configuring a visible light sensor mounted in a space, the visible light sensor installed at a location at which the visible light sensor can record images of the space, the visible light sensor configured to transmit and receive first digital messages via a first communication link when executing operation software during operation, the method comprising:

• recording a first image of the space by the visible light sensor;
• executing a configuration software on the visible light sensor to transmit a digital representation of the first image to a network device in second digital messages via a second communication link;
• setting at least one configuration parameter of the visible light sensor at the network device using the digital representation of the first image;
• transmitting the at least one configuration parameter to the visible light sensor;
• subsequently installing the operation software in place of the configuration software, wherein the operation software is configured to operate according to the at least one configuration parameter, and wherein the operation software being installed in place of the configuration software prevents the visible light sensor from being able to transmit the images or digital representations of the images of the space in the second digital messages via the second communication link;
• recording a second image of the space during execution of the operation software on the visible light sensor;
• identifying an environmental characteristic in the second image of the space;
• and
• transmitting the first digital messages via the first communication link during execution of the operation software on the visible light sensor, wherein the first digital messages comprise an indication of an environmental characteristic on which an electrical load may be controlled or load control instructions for controlling the electrical load.
