Abstract
A load control is provided which includes a wall-box mounted housing, an electrical device to control electrical power to a load, and a control assembly to control the electrical device. The control assembly includes a user-programmable control, with a saved settings data structure having multiple columns and rows of control settings, and a control interface with first and second button switches to selectively advance through the columns and rows of the settings data structure in a settings mode of the control. The button switches are selectable by a user without disassembly of the load control, and the control interface also includes one or more indicator devices to signal a column of the settings data structure to which the control has been advanced in the settings mode of the control, and to signal a row of the settings data structure to which the control has been advanced.
