"Overall (for me) Ithink it's one of insteon best devices " Good to know. Thanks.

"Raspberry Pi" Oh, Lordy, I'm going to ignore that whole suggestion. In the days before soC's I did operating systems for control modules in wastewater treatment plants, and then I wrote the languages (and interpreters) to customize them. I don't think my wife would forgive me for undertaking such a learning curve again. But the nerd in me is tempted.

Great. I'll order one 8 button KPL to experiment with. Thanks, everybody.

"Although each button has a different group number..." Does that mean the individual button lights cannot be toggled or only that their brightness must be the same for all buttons? Or is it like the ZWave keypad where the light next to a button is controlled by the pressing of the button?

KeypadLincs seem to have a really bad reputation for reliability. I assume (the images and descriptions don't tell for sure) that each of the 6 buttons has a controllable backlight, i.e. a separate address. Is that right? My 994 is also ZWave compatible. Would ZWave have something similar that anyone has tried?

I just got my isy994i and I've been messing with devices for only a couple of days. I'm pretty sure that somewhere in these forums I can find an answer, but life is short so... I have sensors on three exterior doors, When a door opens I'd like to light up a single light on a small panel of lights, a different one for each door - something that we used to call an annunciator board. Obviously I could buy a whole bunch of individual modules to achieve that effect, but a nice single device about the size of a small tablet would be great. Any hints as to where to look would be greatly appreciated.
