Claim 0:
1. A load control device for controlling an electrical load, comprising:
a receiver configured to receive messages; and
a processor configured to:
associate a daylight sensor with the load control device;
associate one or more of an occupancy sensor, a vacancy sensor, or a user-activated RF device with the load control device;
receive at least one message from the daylight sensor; and
determine to turn the electrical load on or off, wherein:
a first message from the daylight sensor is sufficient to cause the load control device to determine to turn the electrical load off responsive to a measured light intensity greater than a first threshold value; and
a second message from the daylight sensor is not sufficient to cause the load control device to determine to turn the electrical load on responsive to a measured light intensity less than a second threshold value, unless the load control device also receives a third message indicating the space is occupied.
