Keypad button lights not the same as load

[Zick]

Here the scenario; I created an ALL OFF scene and added all my Lights (responders) into the scene. I then made a Keypad button (H) the controller and changed it to non-toggle to always send an OFF signal.

 

So far this works great, if I have any lights left on and I'm leaving I can just hit this button to shut everything off.

What I'm finding is that if I use the same keypad to turn on a light (say button and then hit the H button, the light will turn off but the B button will stay illuminated.

I will then have to press the B button twice to get the light to turn back on (once to turn the LED off & another to turn the light on).

 

Any suggestions on how to correct this minor issue?

 

Thanks

Have you added the B button to the ALL OFF scene as well?

I'm a little confused on why I would add the B button to the ALL OFF scene too?

Do you mean as a responder or controller of that scene?

 

The B button is currently setup as a controller to another light scene.

 

Also, the B button was just one example and it happens with any of the other buttons too (A, B, C, Etc).

 

Thanks

Maybe I'm misunderstanding.

 

So, you have an ALL OFF scene containing all your lights as responders to the scene, with a KPL button H as the controller (in non-toggle OFF mode). One of your lights is also controlled (on/off) by a KPL button B. If you turn the light on with KPL button B, the LED is illuminated and the light turns on. If you then hit the KPL button H all your lights turn off, but the KPL button B stays on. Correct? If so, this is normal. If the KPL button B is not a responder to your ALL OFF scene, it will not automatically turn off.

 

You must add KPL button B to your ALL OFF scene as a responder, otherwise how would the button ever get turned off?

That is absolutely correct Mike.

Ok, that is what I needed to know. Sorry the whole adding a button/switch as a responder was the one thing that I really didn't understand about what it did.

 

So now I have about 10 (8 & 6) button keypads around the house, and to have all the keypad button lights that are illuminated to turn off when I press the ALL OFF button they will all have to be added to the ALL OFF scene as a responder.

 

Thanks for your help Mike!
