Configuring control devices operable for a load control environment

An electrical load device configuration and selection method, comprising, for each of a plurality of device configuration selections:

• receiving, by electric load configuration control circuitry, a first user input indicative of a device configuration selection and, responsive to the receipt of the first user input:
• identifying, by the electric load configuration control circuitry, one or more device configuration options compatible with the received device configuration selection;
• generating, by the electric load configuration control circuitry, a first list that includes the identified one or more device configuration options compatible with the received device configuration selection;
• identifying, by the electric load configuration control circuitry, one or more device configuration options incompatible with the received device configuration selection;
• generating, by the electric load configuration control circuitry, a second list that includes the identified one or more device configuration options incompatible with the received device configuration selection;
• causing, by the electric load configuration control circuitry, a display of the first list on a GUI as a plurality of selectable elements;
• and
• causing, by the electric load configuration control circuitry, a display of the second list on the GUI as a plurality of selectable elements;
• and
• receiving, by the electric load configuration control circuitry, a second user input indicative of a selection of an incompatible device configuration option from the second list and, responsive to receipt of the second user input:
• identifying, by the electric load configuration control circuitry, the at least one prior device configuration selection causing the incompatible device configuration;
• and
• causing, by the electric load configuration control circuitry, a display of the identified at least one prior device configuration selection causing the incompatible device configuration on the GUI;
• identifying, by the electric load configuration control circuitry, one or more device configuration options compatible with the received incompatible device configuration option;
• generating, by the electric load configuration control circuitry, a third list that includes the identified options compatible with the received incompatible device configuration option;
• and
• causing, by the electric load configuration control circuitry, a display of the third list on the GUI.

A non-transitory, machine-readable, storage device that includes instructions that, when executed by electrical load device configuration and selection control circuitry, causes the electrical load device configuration and selection control circuitry to, for each of a plurality of device configuration selections:

• receive a first user input indicative of a device configuration selection and, responsive to the receipt of the first user input:
• identify one or more device configuration options compatible with the received device configuration selection;
• generate a first list that includes the identified one or more device configuration options compatible with the received device configuration selection;
• identify one or more device configuration options incompatible with the received device configuration selection;
• generate a second list that includes the identified one or more device configuration options incompatible with the received device configuration selection;
• cause a display of the first list on a GUI as a plurality of selectable elements;
• and
• cause a display of the second list on the GUI as a plurality of selectable elements;
• and
• receive a second user input indicative of a selection of an incompatible device configuration option from the second list and, responsive to receipt of the second user input:
• identify the at least one prior device configuration selection causing the incompatible device configuration;
• and
• cause a display of the identified at least one prior device configuration selection causing the incompatible device configuration on the GUI;
• identify one or more device configuration options compatible with the received incompatible device configuration option;
• generate a third list that includes the identified options compatible with the received incompatible device configuration option;
• and
• cause a display of the third list on the GUI.
