Using BALI Somfy remotes during programs.

I need some help getting the right parameters to use during programming a function.  I have some Bali blinds that have Zwave built in.  When you order the blinds, it ships with remotes for each of these blinds.  I have the blinds working with ISY994 without a problem but am having a problem with reusing the remotes.

I have the Somfy remote controls paired with the ISY and they show in the device list.  These remotes have 2 buttons... an UP and a Down.  In the ISY device listing a single remote has multiple entries. I see the following listed:

ZW026 Multilevel Sensor
ZW026 Remote Control
ZW026 Scene Button 2
ZW026 Shades

My problem is that when I use the remote and I select either the UP or the DOWN button it looks in the log like the same button being pressed.

In the below snippet from the activity log, I pressed the UP button waited a second and pressed the DOWN button.

Wed 04/03/2019 10:43:07 PM : [ZWAVE-RX ZW026_1] [5B/03] Central Scene Notify key=1 act=2 (Hold) seq=77 slow=F ACK,AUTO,EXPLORE From=0x1A

Wed 04/03/2019 10:43:07 PM : [D2D EVENT   ] Event [ZW026_201] [FDUP] [0] uom=0 prec=-1

Wed 04/03/2019 10:43:07 PM : [   ZW026_201]     FDUP   0

Wed 04/03/2019 10:43:08 PM : [ZWAVE-RX ZW026_1] [26/04] Dimmer Switch Start level change Up start=0x00(start ignored) ACK,AUTO,EXPLORE From=0x1A

Wed 04/03/2019 10:43:08 PM : [ZWAVE-TX ZW022_1] [26/04] Dimmer Switch Start level change Up start=0x00(start ignored) rr=0xFF ACK,AUTO,EXPLORE To=0x16

Wed 04/03/2019 10:43:08 PM : [ZWAVE-RX ZW026_1] [5B/03] Central Scene Notify key=1 act=1 (release) seq=78 slow=F ACK,AUTO,EXPLORE From=0x1A

Wed 04/03/2019 10:43:08 PM : [D2D EVENT   ] Event [ZW026_201] [FDSTOP] [0] uom=0 prec=-1

Wed 04/03/2019 10:43:08 PM : [   ZW026_201]   FDSTOP   0

As you can see even though it looks like I pressed single button it was actually 2 different buttons.  The difference I can see is only in the function reported For the UP button it reported the FDUP and for the down button it reported the FDSTOP.

How can I use this information in a program to trigger the correct events, like switching a light on and off?

Thanks in advanced

I would like to bump this question to see if there's any further information yet. Is it possible to use these remotes to trigger other ISY programs or devices?
