Abstract: A load control system may include control devices capable of being associated with each other at one or more locations for performing load control. Control devices may include control-source devices and/or control-target devices. A location beacon may be discovered and a unique identifier in the location beacon may be associated with a unique identifier of one or more control devices. Upon subsequent discovery of the location beacon, the associated load control devices may be controlled. The beacons may be communicated via radio frequency signals, visible light communication, and/or audio signals. The visible light communication may be used to communicate other types of information to devices in the load control system. The visible light communication may be used to identify link addresses for communicating with load control devices, load control instructions, load control configuration instructions, network communication information, and/or the like. The information in the beacons may be used to commission and/or control the load control system.

Abstract translation: 负载控制系统可以包括能够在一个或多个位置处相互关联以进行负载控制的控制装置。 控制设备可以包括控制源设备和/或控制目标设备。 可以发现位置信标，并且位置信标中的唯一标识符可以与一个或多个控制设备的唯一标识符相关联。 随后发现位置信标，可以控制相关的负载控制装置。 信标可以通过射频信号，可见光通信和/或音频信号来传送。 可见光通信可以用于将其他类型的信息传送到负载控制系统中的设备。 可见光通信可以用于识别用于与负载控制设备通信的连接地址，负载控制指令，负载控制配置指令，网络通信信息等。 信标中的信息可用于调试和/或控制负载控制系统。
