  1. Yup, counterintuitive, but it works. Thanks guys!
  2. Okay, I have a workaround, but I'd still like to find a solution. I went into the Java Control Panel on my PC, opened the Security tab and lowed my security level from the default of High to Medium. This allows me to run the admin console short term. I'm still wondering if anyone knows how to fix the underlying permissions issue. Thanks.

    Java Anyone?

    I just updated my Java version and am now getting a Security Exception (Missing required Permissions manifest attribute in main jar: http://.../insteon.jar) when I try to launch the admin console. Does anyone know how to fix this one? I've already closed and relaunched my browser and rebooted my PC.
  4. I just added my first 6 button KPL. I see that the On & Off buttons appear on my ISY as one button. When the light that the KPL controls is on, the On LED is on. This is perfect. But when the light is off, I'd like the Off LED on the KPL to be off as well. Is there a way to accomplish this? Thanks.
  5. Out of curiosity, are programs run on the ISY or is the ISY able to write them to the controller? I suspect its the former. Reason for asking, if the ISY goes offline for one reason or another, will the programs no longer execute?
  6. Thanks. Yeah, I actually tried setting the whole KPL to toggle mode and changing the individual buttons. Didn't work. Firmware version is v.43. Could be that we just have a mystery on our hands. It's not critical to solve as it's working the way I want it. It's just that the 'All On' button, set to Non-Toggle-On does not require additional programming and 'All Off' & 'Fans Off' do require additional programming. May not be worth much more effort. Just odd. Thanks.
  7. Not sure how to check the firmware on the KPL. Help|About shows v4.0.5. Toggle/Non-Toggle was initially set manually as I didn't have an ISY. Once I found how difficult it is to set things manually, and be confident it's correct, I bought the ISY. I tried resetting the KPL to factory defaults per the KPL instructions and when I added the KPL to the ISY, I chose the option to 'Remove Existing Links'. Perhaps that didn't clear things as I would have hoped.
  8. Thanks Lee. I forgot to mention that I also tried setting the buttons to non-toggle-off. Must be opposite day on my KPL because my 'Fans Off' button and 'All Off' button, set to non-toggle-off, both stay on. My 'All On' button, set to non-toggle-on', blinks twice and turns off. First cut at your program suggestion didn't work, but since my two off keys were set to non-toggle-off, I modified the program to: If Control 'Fans Off' is switched Off Then Set Scene 'Fans Off LED Off' Off. That works. If anyone has any suggestions to get me out of opposite day on my KPL, that'd be cool. If not, the end result is working as desired, so I guess it's okay. Thanks for your help.
  9. Is it possible to turn off a KeypadLinc LED from an ISY 994i or prevent it from turning on in the first place? Use Cases: [*:4mb87fww]I have four buttons tied to a FanLinc (Fans High, Fans Medium, Fans Low and Fans Off). Since the Fans Off button turns the fans off, I'd like the button to turn off as well (or never come on in the first place). [*:4mb87fww]I have an "All On" button that turns on many many lights and fountains in a scene. I like my KeypadLinc to act as a status dashboard telling which components are on. Since the "All On" is not tied to a single device, I'd just as soon have the button LED turn off (or never come on). [*:4mb87fww]Similar to the point above, I have an "All Off" button that I would like to turn or keep off. Same reasoning as above. What I've Tried: [*:4mb87fww]I thought I read in the documentation that a Controller can also act as a Responder in the same scene. This would be fine if I could define Responder properties for the Controller from the Controller, but alas I cannot. In fact, I already achieve turning KeypadLinc LEDs on and off on the "All On" and "All Off" buttons (all except the "All On" and "All Off" buttons themselves) by defining the KeypadLinc buttons as well as the devices as Responders in the "All On" and "All Off" scenes. [*:4mb87fww]I tried adding the Controller to the scene as a Responder as well, but it would not allow the button to be defined twice in the same scene. [*:4mb87fww]I wrote the following program, but it didn't work...If Control 'Fans Off Button' is not switched Off Then Set 'Fans Off Button' Off. I tried several variations of this, but nothing worked. Can anyone help?
