1. An electrical load control system gateway device, comprising:
gateway control circuitry to:
receive a first input message to place the gateway control circuitry in an association mode;
receive, via a first wireless network, a second input from remote-control device that includes a request to add the remote-control device to the electrical load control system;
determine a unique identifier to associate with the remote control device;
communicate, via the first communication network, a confirmation of the unique identifier with the remote-control device;
cause the remote-control device to enter an extended sleep mode responsive to the communication of the confirmation of the unique identifier;
receive a third input to associate the remote-control unique identifier with at least one of one or more control-target devices; and
communicate, via the first wireless network, data representative of the association between the remote-control and the at least one of the one or more control-target devices to the at least one of the one or more control-target devices.
