Claim 7:
8. An electrical load control method, comprising:
causing, by control circuitry, communicatively coupled radio frequency (RF) receiver circuitry to reversibly transition between a SLEEP state having a first duration and an AWAKE state having a second duration; and
monitoring, by the control circuitry, for receipt of a transmitter broadcast packet while the RF receiver circuitry is in the AWAKE state, the transmitter broadcast packet having a packet length; and
responsive to receipt of at least a portion of the transmitter broadcast packet while the RF receiver circuitry is in the AWAKE state:
causing, by the control circuitry, the RF receiver circuitry to transition from the AWAKE state to a SNOOZE state having a third duration;
causing, by the control circuitry, the RF receiver circuitry to transition from the SNOOZE state to the AWAKE state at the conclusion of the third duration;
maintaining, by the control circuitry, the RF receiver circuitry in the AWAKE state for a fourth duration to receive the complete broadcast packet; and
causing, by the control circuitry, the RF receiver circuitry to transition from the AWAKE state to the SLEEP state at the conclusion of the fourth duration.
