Abstract

A load control system may include control devices configured to communicate via a network. The network may include router devices for enabling communication of messages throughout the network. Networks may enter a router optimization mode to optimize the locations of the router devices in the network. During a router optimization mode, the control devices that are communicating over the network may transmit optimization messages. In order to generate optimized network data for optimizing the network and the roles of devices on the network, potential connections may be analyzed between devices and roles of the router devices in the network may be established based on the potential connections between devices.
