I use an ApplianceLinc to control a small fan. The ApplianceLinc is controlled by a KPL button. When the KPL button is used to control the device, it properly displays its status. If, however, I control the ApplianceLink directly, the status does not display properly on the KPL. No problem. I thought. I tried placing both the KPL button and the AppianceLinc as controllers in a scene. Only the KPL could be entered as a controller; the ApplianceLinc could only be entered as a responder. This is no big deal but I would like to know if there is a way to address this display issue. Thanks.

That is correct. Place both in a scene and control the scene instead of the device.

The ApplianceLinc is a responder only. A workaround is to use a program. Only Status is available, not Control (because the device is not a controller).
