8-Button Main button LED

[Banichi]

I'm just replacing an 8-button KPL in my house and I'm having trouble configuring the LED backlight properly. It has no load attached to it. It only controls in-line and other insteon modules. I'm pretty sure that I there was something I had to do to my original unit to make it so that it would ignore any load sensing and turn the LED off when toggled off. But as it is now it gets brighter when on and then dims to maybe level 3 or something.

 

I tried setting it to 0 in the admin console, changed it away from 0 and then back again but to no avail. What can't I remember here?

Try setting the on level to 1 and the off level to 0

 

If the on level is set too high then the led will still be lit when the button is off.  The exact ratios vary from keypad to keypad depending on their firmware version so you'll have to play with the numbers to get the results you want.

 

Hope this helps.

Ok. I did that and it seems to be working as expected. Thanks. Now I think I have to rebuild some scenes because the other buttons aren't lighting up when the scene is activated from another kpl or mini remote. Fun times. Thanks techman!
