Wireless communication diagnostics

A method to detect a relationship between control devices, the method comprising:

• selecting, by control circuitry in a user device, a signal strength threshold value;
• detecting, by the control circuitry, a plurality of control devices within range of the user device based on a measured signal strength of radio frequency (RF) messages received from each respective one of the plurality of control devices exceeding the selected signal strength threshold value;
• wherein the plurality of control devices includes at least one control-source device and at least one control-target device, the at least one control-target device to adjust electrical power supplied to one or more load devices operably coupled to the at least one control-target device;
• and
• determining, by the control circuitry, whether respective ones of the one or more control-source devices included in the plurality of control devices are in communication with one or more associated control-target devices included in the plurality of control devices based, at least in part, on data included in one or more RF messages communicated between the one or more control-source devices and the one or more control-target devices.

A non-transitory, machine-readable, storage device that includes instructions that, when executed by control circuitry in a user device, causes the control circuitry to:

• select a signal strength threshold value;
• detect a plurality of control devices within range of the user device based on a measured signal strength of radio frequency (RF) messages received from each respective one of the plurality of control devices exceeding the selected signal strength threshold value;
• wherein the plurality of control devices includes at least one control-source device and at least one control-target device, the at least one control-target device to adjust electrical power supplied to one or more load devices operably coupled to the at least one control-target device;
• and
• determine whether respective ones of the one or more control-source devices included in the plurality of control devices are in communication with one or more associated control-target devices included in the plurality of control devices based, at least in part, on data included in one or more RF messages communicated between the one or more control-source devices and the one or more control-target devices.
