Lighting configuration using wall plate with RFID tag

A method of configuring a lighting system, the method comprising:

• removing a wall plate of a wall station from a control unit of the wall station, wherein a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag is attached to the wall plate;
• placing the wall plate along with the RFID tag within a threshold distance from a light fixture that comprises an RFID unit and while the light fixture is in a commissioning mode, the RFID unit reads a wall station identifier from the RFID tag, wherein the wall station identifier associates the light fixture with the wall station or the control unit of the wall station;
• and
• subsequent to the RFID unit reading the wall station identified from the RFID tag, attaching the wall plate to the control unit wherein, subsequent to the commissioning mode, the control unit is configured to transmit, via a communication interface module, a lighting control message that includes the wall station identifier and wherein the light fixture is configured to operate based on the lighting control message in response to determining that the lighting control message includes the wall station identifier.
