Claim 7:
8. A load control method for controlling an electrical load operatively coupled to a load control device, comprising:
associating, by a load control device processor, a daylight sensor with the load control device;
associating with the load control device, by the load control device processor, one or more of: an occupancy sensor, a vacancy sensor, or a user-activated RF device;
receiving, by the load control device processor via receiver circuitry, at least one message from the daylight sensor; and
determining, by the load control device processor, to turn the electrical load off responsive to receipt of a first message from the daylight sensor sufficient to cause the load control device to turn the electrical load off responsive to a measured light intensity greater than a first threshold value; and
determining, by the load control device processor, to turn the electrical load on responsive to receipt of:
a second message from the daylight sensor sufficient to cause the load control device to turn the electrical load on responsive to a measured light intensity less than a second threshold value; and
a third message indicating the space is occupied.
