1. An electrical load controller, comprising:
communications interface circuitry;
memory circuitry;
electrical load control circuitry communicatively coupled to the communications interface circuitry and to the memory circuitry, the electrical load control circuitry to:
receive, via the communications interface circuitry, a first input that includes data representative of a gesture using a wearable processor-based device;
identify one or more control devices associated with the gesture;
receive data representative of a unique identifier associated with the wearable processor-based device;
determine whether an association exists between at least a portion of the one or more control devices and the unique identifier; and
responsive to the determination that an association exists between at least the portion of the one or more control devices and the wearable processor-based device, receive a second input to adjust one or more operational parameters of at least some of the identified one or more control devices.
