Commissioning load control systems

An electric load configuration method, comprising:

• receiving by control circuitry via user interface circuitry, a first input indicative of an electric load device discovery range;
• determining by the control circuitry, a discovery signal strength corresponding to the received device discovery range;
• causing by the control circuitry a broadcast via first communication interface circuitry of the discovery signal at the determined broadcast discovery signal strength using a first communication protocol;
• receiving, by the control circuitry via the first communication interface circuitry, a respective discovery signal response from each of one or more control source devices and a respective discovery signal response from each of one or more control target devices;
• and
• receiving, by the control circuitry via the user interface circuitry, a second input indicative of a relationship status between at least one of the one or more control source devices and at least one of the one or more control target devices.

A non-transitory, machine-readable, storage device that includes instructions that, when executed by control circuitry disposed in an electric load configuration apparatus, causes the control circuitry to:

• receive via user interface circuitry, a first input indicative of an electric load device discovery range;
• determine a discovery signal strength that corresponds to the received device discovery range;
• cause a broadcast via first communication interface circuitry of the discovery signal at the determined broadcast discovery signal strength;
• wherein the first communication interface circuitry uses a first communication protocol;
• receive via the first communication interface circuitry, a respective discovery signal response from each of one or more control source devices and a respective discovery signal response from each of one or more control target devices;
• and
• receive via the user interface circuitry, a second input indicative of a relationship status between at least one of the one or more control source devices and at least one of the one or more control target devices.
