Communicating with and controlling load control systems

A computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a control circuit, cause the control circuit to:

• define a scene for controlling a plurality of zones in an area of a building, wherein each zone comprises at least one lighting control device configured to control a corresponding lighting load;
• display a lighting intensity for each of the plurality of zones in the scene on a graphical user interface;
• determine that the lighting intensity for at least two zones of the plurality of zones is different;
• receive an indication of a relative change in the lighting intensity for the at least two zones of the plurality of zones;
• display at least one palette on the graphical user interface, wherein each palette of the at least one palette identifies a color setting for controlling the at least one lighting load for the respective zone for which the palette is being displayed, wherein each palette of the at least one palette is configured to display colors at different color temperatures at which the at least one lighting load of the respective zone is capable of being controlled or a full color gamut of colors at which the at least one lighting load of the respective zone is capable of being controlled;
• receive, via the graphical user interface, a selection of the color setting on each palette for controlling the at least one lighting load for the respective zone for which the palette is being displayed;
• store the lighting intensity and the selected color setting for each of the plurality of zones in the scene, wherein the stored lighting intensity comprises the lighting intensity for the at least two zones after the indication of the relative change in the lighting intensity has been received;
• receive a triggering event configured to trigger the scene;
• and
• control the plurality of zones in the area of the building according to the stored lighting intensity and color setting in response the triggering event.

A load control system comprising:

• a plurality of lighting control devices, wherein each of the plurality of lighting control devices are configured to control a corresponding lighting load;
• and
• a device, configured to:
• retrieve a scene for controlling a plurality of zones, wherein each zone comprises at least one lighting control device of the plurality of lighting control devices;
• display a lighting intensity for each of the plurality of zones in the scene on a graphical user interface;
• determine that the lighting intensity for at least two zones of the plurality of zones is different;
• receive an indication of a relative change in the lighting intensity for the at least two zones of the plurality of zones;
• display at least one palette on the graphical user interface, wherein each palette of the at least one palette identifies a color setting for controlling the at least one lighting load for the respective zone for which the palette is being displayed, wherein each palette of the at least one palette is configured to display colors at different color temperatures at which the at least one lighting load of the respective zone is capable of being controlled or a full color gamut of colors at which the at least one lighting load of the respective zone is capable of being controlled;
• receive, via the graphical user interface, a selection of the color setting on each palette for controlling the at least one lighting load for the respective zone for which the palette is being displayed;
• and
• update the scene the lighting intensity and the selected color setting for each of the plurality of zones in the scene, wherein the updated lighting intensity comprises the lighting intensity for the at least two zones after the indication of the relative change in lighting intensity has been received.
