A lighting control system, comprising:
- a lighting system input component configured to receive an input and generate a message using an identification including control information in response to the input;
- a communication link coupled to the input component to allow transmission of the message;
- and
- a plurality of lighting system control components associated with the identification, each having at least one actuator, each of the plurality of the control components coupled to the input component through the communication link and each control component associated with the identification configured to receive the control information and to individually determine how to respond to the control information, wherein the input component transmits the message without configuration of control components associated with the identification and the control components respond to the message without being configured with the identification of any input components.
