Devices, systems, and methods for automatic luminaire location identification and group assignment using light based communication/visual light communication (VLC)/dark light communication (DLC) for commissioning a lighting control. Further, the devices, systems, and methods provide automated luminaire identification and exact luminaire locations where all luminaire devices are located relative to at least one luminaire to create location identification without knowing the group. The disclosed devices, systems, and methods provide enhanced lighting system commissioning, maintenance, and updating.
