Method of programming a lighting preset from a radio-frequency remote control

A dimmer switch for controlling the amount of power delivered to a lighting load from an AC power source such that the lighting load is illuminated to a preset intensity, the dimmer switch comprising:

• a controllably conductive device adapted to be coupled in series electrical connection between the AC power source and the lighting load, the controllably conductive device having a control input;
• a controller operatively coupled to the control input of the controllably conductive device for controlling the intensity of the lighting load;
• a wireless receiver operable to receive a wireless transmission and coupled to the controller such that the controller is responsive to the wireless transmission;
• and
• a plurality of visual indicators coupled to the controller and operable to provide a representation of the intensity of the lighting load;
• wherein the controller is operable to control the intensity of the lighting load to a new intensity, to control the intensity of the lighting load to an old preset intensity in response to receiving the wireless transmission, to blink one of the plurality of visual indicators representative of the new intensity in response to receiving a first predetermined number of the wireless transmissions with no more than a first predetermined time period between two consecutive wireless transmissions, and to store the new intensity as the preset intensity in response to receiving a second predetermined number of the wireless transmissions with no more than a second predetermined time period between two consecutive wireless transmissions.
