control backlight levels for A B C D on Keypadlinc 2334-232

[jim_]

For argument sake, I'm reality new to programming ISY and bought a 6 button Keypadlinc, so just playing with it trying to learn how it works.  Turning a lamp module on / off via the Keypadlinc D button works fine, button D lights when lamp module is on, but if any other scene turns on the lamp module, the Keypadlinc D button does not light up

 

Rather than list all the scenes involved, i created a simple test to checking status of the lamp module and attempting to turn on the light for the Keypadlinc D button 

 

If i manually turn on the lamp module, the status of lamp module is checked and if on ... turns the pots = on, and off accordingly ... However, I cannot get the Keypadlinc buttons to turn on/off following the status of the lamp module

 

Family Room KPL D

 

If

        Status  'Tree 26.DD.BD' >= 1%

 

Then

        Set 'Family Room Pot Lights' On

        Set 'KPL Family Rm FirePlace Light / FamilyRoom - D' On  2 / Off 1 (Backlight Level)

 

Else

        Set 'Family Room Pot Lights' Off

        Set 'KPL Family Rm FirePlace Light / FamilyRoom - D' On  1 / Off 1 (Backlight Level)

 

 

cheers

Create a scene and put the lamp module and the KPL button into the scene. Add the KPL button as a controller.

 

The only level you want for the lamp should be set withn the scene.

I did that and it works properly, however i would still like to know how to control the light levels for each button for other scenes i would like to write independent of scenes

KPL button LEDs can only be turned on and Off via  scenes.

 

Programs can set the brightness level of KPL button LEDs but all buttons have the same brightness when On. They are not individually settable.

Ok thanks for the clarification

I created a scene with just the KPL button and modified the program ... this works if anyone needs as a sample to control the light for a specific button

 

Family Room KPL D 

 

If

        Status  'Lamp Module 1' >= 1%

 

Then

        Set 'Family Room Pot Lights' On

        Set Scene 'KPL FamilyRoom - D' On

 

Else

        Set 'Family Room Pot Lights' Off

        Set Scene 'KPL FamilyRoom - D' Off

I can not seem to find the "Set Scene" command, just the "Adjust Scene". I can turn the lights on but not the KPL button. This is what I have:

 

Garage Lights

 

IF

    X10 'A5/On (3)' is Received

 

Then

 

   Set MB 'Closet Light KeypadLinc / 3D.B8.7A.D' On 15 / Off 0 (Backlight Level)

   Set 'Garage Scones ToggleLinc Rela' On

Hi Edgar, welcome to the UDI forums!

 

Its the "Insteon" selection under the Actions drop down, under the "Then" clause of the program. The scenes are listed towards the bottom of the devices.

Thanks Paul. Did not realized there were more options listed. Thanks again.
