Detecting elk F1 key to cntl lights through isy

[FarmerGeek]

I would like to use one of the f keys to control lights through the itsy. Has anyone been able to detect when a key is pressed?

You can use a program:

New Program - [ID 0259][Parent 00B9]

If
        Elk Keypad 'Hall' 'F1' is Pressed
 
Then
        Set Scene 'Main / SC - Inner Hall Ceiling' On
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I use this function and it works without issue. However, keep in mind that by default the M1 requires you to press a function key twice to activate it since the keys were designed to summon fire, police, etc, and you wouldn't want to do that by an accidental press of a key. You can change this to be a single press in the M1.

That is what i have but no go. How do u have the f key configured on the elk.  I have it set to Non-alarm and single press.

 I have it set to Non-alarm and single press.

 

Sorry. I didn't see you had replied. 

 

I have one programmed like that with non-Alarm and single press. Works fine.

 

Do you have the ElkRP connected? Nothing else can communicate with the M1 while the ElkRP is connected to it.

 

Do you see the F-key press in the ISY logs?
