1. A system, comprising:
a plurality of electrical load control circuits, each of the plurality of electrical load control circuits including one or more indicator lamps and operatively coupled to at least one electrical load;
system control circuitry communicatively coupled, via a first network using a first network protocol, to each of the electrical load control devices included in the plurality of electrical load control device, the system control circuitry to:
assign, to each of the plurality of electrical load control circuits, a respective character sequence representative of a unique address associated with the respective electrical load control circuit;
responsive to receipt of a user input from a user device, via a second network using a second network protocol different from the first network, cause an electrical load control circuit included in the plurality of electrical load control circuits to communicate, via the one or more indicator lamps, the unique address associated with the respective electrical load control circuit to the user device;
receive, from the user device via the second network, data representative an electrical load identifier associated with the electrical load control circuit;
associate the received data representative an electrical load identifier with the unique address associated with the respective electrical load control circuit.
