receiving predefined system configuration data, wherein the predefined system configuration data defines at least one zone, wherein each zone of the at least one zone is assigned a lighting zone purpose that indicates a lighting function of one or more lighting loads in the zone;
defining a scene configured to control the one or more lighting loads of the at least one zone in response to a triggering event, wherein the scene is defined by:
receiving a selection of a curated configuration option from a set of curated configuration options that each predefine different curated configuration settings for controlling the one or more lighting loads in each zone of the at least one zone; and
for each zone of the at least one zone, automatically determining, based at least on the selected curated configuration option and the lighting zone purpose of the one or more lighting loads of the zone, curated configuration settings for the scene that are configured to control the one or more lighting loads of the zone; and
transmitting the curated configuration settings for the scene to one or more lighting control devices configured to control the one or more lighting loads;
receiving an indication of the triggering event for enabling the scene; and
