Claim 12:
13. A method of determining associations between electrochromic windows and associated window controllers installed in a network, the method comprising:
(a) triggering an electrochromic window to cause its associated window controller to send a signal comprising identifying information about the electrochromic window,
wherein the signal is sent from the associated window controller upstream to a network controller, and
wherein triggering the electrochromic window comprises one or more of the following:
(i) shining a light on a light sensor,
(ii) blocking or disrupting a light sensor,
(iii) blocking or disrupting a motion sensor, and/or
(iv) blocking or disrupting an occupancy sensor;

(b) receiving and displaying the identifying information in an application or program; and
(c) associating the electrochromic window that was triggered with its associated window controller in the application or program based on which electrochromic window was triggered and the identifying information displayed in the application or program.
