That is not what I see in 2.6.13. If I press button B on a KPL (non-load button, just to be sure) that is not part of any scene or links at all (haven't figured out what to use ALL the buttons for yet) and I'm in the Adminsitrative Console on the device itself, the "Current State" changes from "Off" to "On" and back.
Ok, I'll try installing 2.6.13 later today and see if that helps.
It doesn't matter for this test case where I'm just trying to get it working, but in reality, I want to trigger my "good night" program by double-clicking an off button on a RemoteLinc. If I understand correctly, I can't really do that unless I just want every device in my "good night" scene to instantly switch off as a result.
