1. 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 with 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; and

(b) determining the association between the electrochromic window and its associated window controller by comparing which electrochromic window is triggered and which associated window controller sends the signal.
