1. An electrical load control device, comprising:
first communications interface circuitry communicatively couplable to a first network using a first communication protocol;
second communications interface circuitry communicatively couplable to a second network using a second communication protocol different from the first communication protocol;
memory circuitry to store configuration information;
control circuitry communicatively coupled to the first communications interface circuitry and to the second communications interface circuitry, the control circuitry to:
receive a first instruction to communicatively couple to the second network;
communicatively couple, via the second communications interface circuitry, to the second network;
receive, a second instruction to update one or more configuration parameters;
receive, via the second communications interface circuitry, one or more updated configuration parameters;
update the stored configuration information with the one or more updated configuration parameters;
terminate the connection with the second network responsive to at least one of:
receipt of an instruction to terminate the connection to the second network; or
fulfillment of at least one condition precedent to terminate the connection to the second network; and
communicatively couple, via the first network circuitry, to the first network.
