Classification: CPC H  G  Y | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A load control system, comprising:
a broadcast controller including:
broadcast control circuitry to generate a plurality of signal types, including a first signal type and a second signal type;
broadcast transmitter circuitry to broadcast the first signal type and the second signal type;

a plurality of independent units, each of the plurality independent units communicatively couplable to the broadcast circuitry, each of the plurality of independent units including:
at least one energy controller, each of the least one energy controllers including:
receiver circuitry; and
energy controller circuitry having a unique address associated therewith, the energy controller circuitry to adjust one or more electrical parameters of a load device operably coupled to the respective energy controller circuitry;

wherein:
the energy controller circuitry to adjust at least one of the one or more electrical parameters of the operably coupled load device responsive to receipt, by the receiver circuitry, of the first signal type that includes information representative of the unique address associated with the respective energy controller;
the energy controller circuitry to maintain at least one of the one or more electrical parameters of the operably coupled load device responsive to receipt, by the receiver circuitry, of the first signal type that includes information representative of a unique address associated with a different energy controller; and

the energy controller circuitry to adjust at least one of the one or more electrical parameters of the operably coupled load device responsive to receipt, by the receiver circuitry, of the second signal type.
