What are you using X10 house/unit code A7 for?

Disable the garage door program(s). What's the result? Wrong forum

So, with a factory reset, the ToggleLinc does not control button B (nor button A). but after you use the ISY to restore the ToggleLinc it controls both button A and button B. Is restore what you mean by, "re-associated to the keypadlinc?"
-
And each time the ToggleLinc did NOT control button B after a factory reset but did after a restore?
-
Have you tried factory resetting the ToggleLinc (i.e., using the air-gap) and then restoring it (after ensuring that the ToggleLinc no longer controls button ?
-
The most likely culprit is a scene error. View the scene for the ceiling light. Is the ToggleLinc a controller? (Controllers are red, responders are blue.) Also, select button B in the device tree. The right side panel will show any scenes that the button is a member of. Edit: color corrected.

Our interior motion sensors only give (low level) light if the room/area is relatively dark, so a darkness sensitivity of 10 works best for us. I let the motion sensor control the duration. LED off will save some battery power.

Wiring advice requires: 1. Describing specifically what you goal is. A general idea is inadequate. 2. Describing the wiring including bundles and colors, for example a 3-wire cable with red, black and white, four 2-wire cables with black and white, etc. This needs to be done for each switch you intend to replace. You can disregard any ground wires in your description. It's not unusual to have several switches controlling the same load. If you want to keep that functionality, then every switch involved needs to be replaced. Choices include a single function switch (as it is now) or one that can control other lights as well.

This forum is a great place to start asking.

Scenes are quicker and do not require that the ISY powered up and functioning. OTOH, scenes require programs to run under conditions such as schedules, button presses, state of a device, etc.

It is in accordance the the NEC to use a white wire as the line. Otherwise every switch loop would result in two white wires being connected to a fixture. You are correct, though, The code requires that the wire be identified using color tape. In any case, a 2-wire switch will NOT function as a 3-way configuration, although you can always have more that one switch connected to the load. That's known as wiring switches in parallel. In that situation, if any one switch is on, then any other switch(es) cannot turn the load off. Even the documentation indicates that the 2-wire switch is not compatible with a 3-way configuration. OTOH, linking may work. But still, only if both switches are wired to the load.
-
The 2-wire switch cannot be used successfully in a 3-way configuration. If both switches are connected to the load, then any one switch being on will turn the on, but both switches must be off to turn the load off. The most often occurring error when wiring a multi-way configuration is basing the connections on the color of the wire. In any 3-way configuration, it is unlikely that a black wire is line. In fact, line is often white. Red can be a traveler or, sometimes, the load.
-
The 2-wire dimmer cannot function without a load. A 2-wire dimmer is not suitable for a 3-way configuration. Describe the wires at each switch box. BTW, in a 3-way configuration at least one white wire is not a neutral wire.
-
Open the scene tree. Select a controller (controllers are red, responders are blue). Adjust the level of each appliancelinc. Do that for each controller in the scene.
-
Sensors are controllers only, not responders. Sensors cannot be controlled to turn on or off. Or do you mean the deck lights turned on?
-
That the keypad causes communication difficulty in several locations makes the keypad itself suspect.
-
Remove the Keypad and install it somewhere else, preferably a distance away (just as a test). What's the result?
-
Michaelco, which ISY version?
-
I use a short extension cord between the ApplianceLinc and the FilterLinc.

Select the program. Right click, select Copy to Clipboard and paste the program here.

Nope, not a scene, but a program. Create a program. Call it test or anything else. Add an If statement that states: If Sense 'button' is 100% and nothing else. Save the program. Then test the program as indicated in post #4.
-
Ensure that button D is off. Create a program using Sense, select the program (so it's easy to see). The program icon should be white. Turn button D on. Is the left edge of the program icon green?
-
Printing programs is easy. Right click on the program, select copy to clipboard and paste into your favorite word processor. Scenes require printing the screen or a screen capture program.

1. 2. 3. Create a scene where both the In-LineLinc and the KPL button are controllers. 4. 5. You will need to send a Fast On from the KPL button to the In-LineLinc to bypass the motion sensor (double-tap). Any button tap will reset the sensor to normal operation.
