Intensity of Keypad LED

Featured Replies

Posted

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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)

Techman,

 

Thanks... that's exactly the program I wanted.

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)
