1. A system for distributed light control, comprising: a first device for setting an operating state of a first light circuit;a second device for setting an operating state of a second light circuit;a network communicatively connecting the first device and the second device;the first device includes a first memory for storing a first configuration dataset, wherein the first device is configured to set the operating state of the first light circuit based upon one or more control commands received via the network and in accordance with the first configuration dataset;the second device includes a second memory for storing a second configuration dataset, wherein the second device is configured to set the operating state of the second light circuit based upon one or more control command received via the network and in accordance with the second configuration dataset;the second device stores a first shadow configuration dataset in the second memory, wherein the first shadow configuration dataset corresponds to the first configuration dataset of the first device; andwherein the second device is configured to determine the current operating state of the first light circuit based upon the first shadow configuration dataset and one or more control commands received via the network. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein: the first device stores a second shadow configuration dataset in the first memory, wherein the second shadow configuration dataset corresponds to the second configuration dataset of the second device; andwherein the first device is configured to determine the current operating state of the second light circuit based upon the second shadow configuration dataset and one or more control commands received via the network. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the first device comprises a dimmer. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the first device comprises a load actuating relay device. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the second device is configured to obtain the first shadow configuration dataset through at least one of: the network; and a hand-held programming tool. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the second device is configured to obtain the first shadow configuration dataset from a server connected to the network. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the second device is configured to obtain the first shadow configuration dataset from the first device. 8. A control device for controlling an operating state of a first load, comprising: a network interface for connecting the control device to a network;a load interface for connecting the control device to the first load and for controlling the operating state of the first load;a memory for storing a first configuration dataset that corresponds to the first load, and a shadow configuration dataset that corresponds to a second load;a controller operatively coupled to the memory, the network interface and the load interface, the controller configured to set the operating state of the first load via the load interface based upon one or more control command received via the network interface and in accordance with the first configuration dataset stored in the memory; andthe controller further configured to determine a current operating state of the second load based upon the shadow configuration dataset stored in the memory and one or more control commands received via the network interface. 9. The control device of claim 8, wherein at least one of the one or more control commands received via the network are intended to change the operating state of the first load. 10. The control device of claim 9, wherein at least one of the one or more control commands received via the network are intended to change the operating state of the second load. 11. The control device of claim 10, wherein the controller is configured to set the operating state of the first load based upon the at least one of the one or more control commands received via the network that are intended to change the operating state of the first load and in accordance with the first configuration dataset stored in the memory. 12. The control device of claim 11, wherein the controller is configured to determine a current operating state of the second load based upon the at least one of the one or more control commands received via the network that are intended to change the operating state of the second load in conjunction with the shadow configuration dataset stored in the memory. 13. The control device of claim 9, wherein at least one of the one or more control commands received via the network are intended to change the operating state of the first load and the second load. 14. A method for controlling an operating state of a first load and for monitoring an operating state of a second load via a load control device, comprising: storing a first configuration dataset associated with the first load in the load control device;storing a shadow configuration dataset associated with the second load in the load control device;receiving a control command via a network;selectively changing the operating state of the first load based upon the control command received via the network and the first configuration dataset; anddetermining a current operating state of the second load based upon the control command received via the network and the shadow configuration dataset. 15. The method of claim 14, further comprising: receiving an input from a user via a user interface to change the operating state of the first load;sending a control command onto the network that indicates that the operating state of the first load is to be changed. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the load control device includes the user interface. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the user interface is distinct from the load control device but connected to the network. 18. The method of claim 14, further comprising: receiving an input from a user via a user interface to change the operating state of the second load;sending a control command onto the network that indicates that the operating state of the second load is to be changed. 19. The method of claim 14, wherein the first load is a light circuit. 20. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions for controlling an operating state of a first load and for monitoring an operating state of a second load, wherein execution of the program instructions by a load control device causes the load control device, in response to receiving a control command via a network, to carry out the steps of: selectively changing the operating state of the first load based upon the control command received via the network and a first configuration dataset associated with the first load; anddetermining a current operating state of the second load based upon the control command received via the network and a shadow configuration dataset associated with the second load.
