1. A device for controlling at least one lighting load based on images of a space, the device comprising:
a memory configured to store an image of the space; and
a control circuit configured to:
retrieve, from the memory, the image of the space;
process the image of the space to determine a location of a window within the space;
configure at least one zone based on the location of the window determined from the image of the space, wherein the at least one zone includes at least one lighting control device configured to control the at least one lighting load; and
generate control instructions configured to control at least one of an intensity or color temperature of the at least one lighting load in the at least one zone.
