Interesting. To add to the confusion, I have keys B, D, E, and F on the SAME KPL in a Mutually exclusive group and they work fine, hence my question about something "different" about Key A since in a 6 pad configuration is controls the load I think, as currently my 3 KPLs are all in 8 pad mode

May be narrowing in on my communication issues, but the mutually exclusive issue between C & A remains. To answer the questions, no they are not in another other scenes and yes I did a restore Joe

Hmmm... I seem to be having other issues. I recently had our baseboard redone so APs and SL we unplugged for a few days. Now all plugged back in and things seemed to be working OK, but for two nites in a row now the outside lights that came on OK at the scheduled sunset but have not turned off at 11PM as they always have before., must be some other magical issue going on. Should I start from scratch with installing APs from the beginning as I have bout 5 of them. Once again, just when I think I have it all working something happens

when you "restore" do you have to restore every pad in a KPL i.e. all 8?

I have used Mutually Exclusive on KPL before, but first time with "A" Pad, may make a difference? I have "A" and "C" in two different scenes that both contain the same lights but to different level brightness. Each work OK but when "A" is pressed on the KPL backlight goes on but when "C" is pressed "A" backlight does not go off. If done the other way ( C then A) C backlight goes off correctly I have A & C in one of the mutually exclusive groups. Any thoughts?

did I need to format the 1GB card or anything else special before inserted? I too am wondering I I have a bad isy.

put in orig 512MB card and works fine now even during a reboot. The card may not have been well seated as I think it came out without first pushing it in. Is this "seating" problem indicative of the issue I was seeing? I want to resolve this even though it is working now, so that if the issue comes back? Thx Joe

put in a new 1GB SD card, same issue after power supplied blinking red light

Thanks ! What size SD card assuming I get a new one? Does not violate warranty to open up the isy?

Michel your comment 1. Use the link on your desktop to launch the admin console 2. Upgrade again to 2.7.6 3. Restore your backup 1) as previously posted I could not get the program to put an icon on the desk to work. I downloaded the program, but i would not launch 2) replacing the SD card is unclear. You mean to open the isy and replace an SD card inside? That all (except as you say to upgrade and download backup)? Joe

I got it form UDI (refurbished), but before I request RMA, once again after several power cycles I got it working again. Is this indicative of anything? or should I just get it RMA'd

problem back again! upgraded to 2.76 worked fine, but seemed some ofthe features were missing so decided to reboot form the admin consol. Got Red light blinking only, first 3 lights are solid green. Quick, how do I resolve this need the program to woerk!

to be more specific, I did "reboot" by power cycling (removing PLM connection) AND removing Network connection several times in the effort to fix it, but eventually just the err ligh still blinking, and fixed by plug/unplugging network cable Ver 2.7.5 isy pro

just err light blinking. What do you mean by file system error? After plugging and unplugging the network cable several times i is fixed. Please explain Joe

hmmm. got it working after unplugging/plugging network connection several time, but wish I knew the reason this happens Joe

temporarily disconnected power, when restores Pwr, RX, TX green, but blinking red error LED, tried power cycling, same issue, what can I do?

although a system reboot seems to have worked, exclamation on key #1 gone, status works, all looks OK.....at least for now. Hmmmm Joe

no, query does nothing

Michel This is strange, all of the keys except #1 tonight report on/off correctly. Key #1 does not although key #1 and the rest of the keys look OK in even viewer and control the scenes correctly (I swear teh on/off status did NOT work last night) One other thing I forgot to mention is that the Key#1 errors message when ever I open the ISY admin console says something like "cannot communicate with EZX10RF 1" or something like that , and there is an exclamation point instead of the control icon. OK, so some communication problem, but they all work OK in the scenes despite this error message (even key#1) Joe

Hi IndyMike I cant be of any help as my one an only sensor has been installed for a few months on it's first battery. Having moved form X10 I second your comments on reliability. However, My X10 Hawkeyes' would last years (at least two), so now you have me concerned with your "multiple batteries in 4 months". Even being in a high traffic area (mine is not) this seems very excessive. Joe

Michel , No, I have not, will give the event viewer a try. I did check the status of the buttons outside of the scenes (actually both) but neither change status despite the scene working OK. You cautioned me about the support level for EZX10RF, so I don't want to complain at all. I will check the event viewer as you suggested, but if it is the same problem as other EZ devices, I am not sure I will make progress beyond you experts The scenes works OK, so I guess not the biggest issue. Joe

now when I look that any of the link status when switching off/on with my X10 palmpad, they do not change status, despite the scenes they are linked to working fine. This is interesting, because when I installed each of 16 links I tested everyone of them and the status changed just fine. I did this before I added them to scenes so that I was assured they would work (which they do). I know there is a later firmware (I am still at 2.70), but it specifically does not include the EZX10 in the firmware fixes description. Would that help?

got it, thanks! Yes, I know hex, but did not get your drift until I read it several times, but your "translation table" makes it even easier, I will try tonight. Thanks! Joe

OH, maybe I see, you are saying in your example it would be 1F Hex, which would be 31 decimal, correct?

thanks, but you lost me a bit going back and forth between decimal and hex. The controls are in decimal and I think you are giving me the translation, but can't say I completely got what you are saying, sorry. I can't get to your conclusion : "With this information, it's possible to gain some finer control over both backlight and ON brightness levels. For example, dimmest non-off backlight, combined with brightest available ON level for that backlight, would mean using a value of 31. "
