A load control system may be commissioned using beacons. The load control system may include control devices that each include a beacon transmitting circuit configured to transmit a beacon that comprises an identifier associated with the control device. A network device, such as a mobile device, may discover a control device based on the beacon received from the control device. In response to discovery of the control device, the control device may be added to a temporary group of control devices for being collectively configured and/or controlled. Control devices may be discovered based on the signal strength at which the beacons are received. The control devices may provide feedback to a user in response to confirmation messages to indicate to a user that the lighting control device has been added to the temporary group. The control devices may stop providing the feedback after they are removed from the temporary group.

Commissioning and controlling load control devices

A load control system may be commissioned using beacon messages. The load control system may include control devices that each include a beacon transmitting circuit configured to transmit a beacon message that comprises an identifier associated with the control device. A network device, such as a mobile device, may discover a control device based on the beacon message received from the control device. In response to discovery of the control device, the control device may be added to a temporary group of control devices for being collectively configured and/or controlled. Control devices may be discovered based on the signal strength at which the beacon messages are received. A mobile device may adjust a discovery threshold for discovering a target number of control devices in the load control system.
