Garage Door Kit and KPL "open" light

Hey everybody. I am new to Insteon but have begun to outfit our new home with all kinds of stuff, including an ISY, hoards of dimmer switches, and two garage door kits.

 

Here is my only issue so far. I have two garage doors with an Insteon garage door kit installed on each and each garage door is linked to a separate button on my 8-button KPL (buttons C&D).

 

The KPL C&D buttons will open and close the doors, and each KPL button LED will glow when its respective door is in the open position and each KPL button LED will turn off when its garage door is in the closed position.

 

However, the LED C button on the KPL, which controls the left garage door, is acting strangely. Sometimes the LED will come on to 100% when there is no garage door activity (ie the door is still down). Other times the LED will come on in a dimmed state, then slowly increase in brightness, again, the garage door being down the whole time. I can "reset" the status LED by pressing the KPL and "cycling" the garage door open/closed. The KPL LED will be OK for a few hours then lgith up again.

 

Does anyone have any ideas what is going on or how I could debug this?

 

Thanks, Tom

As far as I know, the keypads have only two LED states: ON and OFF. The levels can be adjusted to reflect each of the two states, but I don't believe that a normally-functioning keypad would slowly increase or decrease in brightness. The only explanation I can think of is a faulty keypad. Perhaps you could remove the keypad from the ISY and perform a factory reset on the keypad?
