Claim 7:
8. A method of controlling an electrical load device via a load control system having a controllable electrical outlet to receive power from a power source, the method comprising:
causing a control circuit to enter a configuration mode, and responsive to entry of the control circuit to the configuration mode:
receiving, by the control circuit via an RF communication circuit, a remote-control device identifier associated with a remote-control device; and
storing, by the control circuit, the received remote-control device identifier in communicatively coupled memory circuitry; and

causing the control circuit to enter an operating mode, and responsive to entry of the control circuit to the operating mode:
receiving, by the control circuit via the RF communication circuit, an RF signal that includes one or more commands and a remote-control device identifier from a remote-control device;
confirming, by the control circuit, that the remote-control device identifier corresponds to the stored received remote-control device identifier; and
adjusting, by the control circuit, the power delivered to an electrical load device coupled to the at least one electrical outlet in accordance with the received one or more commands responsive to confirmation of the remote-control device identifier.
