Claim 6:
7. A method of configuring an electrical load control remote controller, the method comprising:
receiving, by gateway control circuitry, a first input message to cause the gateway control circuitry to transition to an association mode;
receiving, by the gateway control circuitry via a first wireless network, a second input from remote-control device that includes a request to add the remote-control device to the electrical load control system;
determining, by the gateway control circuitry, a unique identifier to associate with the remote control device;
communicating, by the gateway control circuitry via the first communication network, a confirmation of the unique identifier with the remote-control device;
causing, by the gateway control circuitry, the remote-control device to enter an extended sleep mode responsive to the communication of the confirmation of the unique identifier;
receiving by the gateway control circuitry, a third input to associate the remote-control unique identifier with at least one of one or more control-target devices; and
communicating, by the gateway control circuitry via the first wireless network, data representative of the association between the remote-control and the at least one of the one or more control-target devices to the at least one of the one or more control-target devices.
