k5map Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) I found a pic of a Keypad and noticed the LED on one of the buttons has a higher intensity that the others. Anyone know how to control the level of brightness of the LED via the ISY? Edited December 21, 2014 by k5map
ergodic Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 There's a "LED Brightness" button at the bottom of the screen when you've selected any KPL button. It brings up a dialog to set the on and off state brightness levels. You can set it in steps from 0..7. You can also set the backlight level in a program.
k5map Posted December 21, 2014 Author Posted December 21, 2014 ergodic, Thanks for the info... do you have an example of how to set the backlight in a program? I'm thinking of controlling the level based on the time of day and any example would be greatly appreciated.
stusviews Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 All buttons on a KPL have the same intensity, that is, you cannot adjust the brightness of only one particular button. It appears that the top left button is On and the others are Off. If the other buttons can toggle between On and Of and that button is always On, then it's set for non-toggle on.
stusviews Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) k5map, I use a scene that includes the KPL buttons as responders and a program that turns the scene off. If Time is x:00:00AM Then Set 'LR / Devices / LR Thermostat Main' Mode Off Resource 'BR Sheer/Opaque Close' Set Scene 'BR / Scenes / BR Fireplace' Off Set Scene 'DR / Scenes / DR Front Off Button' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action The DR Front Off Button scene all includes the KPL buttons I want turned off Edited December 21, 2014 by stusviews
k5map Posted December 21, 2014 Author Posted December 21, 2014 stusviews, Thanks... I thought your program could change the brightness setting of the buttons but now see how to turn the button lights On/Off.
Techman Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) k5map, If you want to adjust the on and off levels of the KPL backlight you could do it in program. This affects all the buttons on the KPL. This program dims the backlight at Sunset and brightens it at sunrise. If From Sunset To sunrise (next day) Then set 'KPL name' On 3 / Off 2 (Backlight level) Else Set 'KPL name' On 8 / Off 2 (Backlight level) Edited December 21, 2014 by Techman
k5map Posted December 21, 2014 Author Posted December 21, 2014 Techman, Thanks... that's exactly the program I wanted.
EricK Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Here is mine, although maybe I will change it to go on at sundown. I have a "sleep" button that turns off bathroom and bedroom lights and the KPL backlight.: If From 8:35:00PM To 11:00:06PM (same day) Then Set 'Master Bedroom / Master Bedroom Devices / Master His KPL - A lights' On 10 / Off 5 (Backlight Level) Else Set 'Master Bedroom / Master Bedroom Devices / Master His KPL - A lights' On 7 / Off 0 (Backlight Level)
