Wes Westhaver Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I have a couple of 2457D2 (plug-in dimmer modules) and I would like to know how to turn the LED indicator light off. Is there a way to do this from my ISY994i? I have some FanLinc units and the ISY994i allowed me to turn their LED indicators off. It seems that every single gadget I have in my house comes with an LED indicator of some sort and I find it annoying to try and sleep when there's a constellation of little LEDs piercing the darkness. Very annoying... -Wes 1 Link to comment
Geddy Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 @Wes Westhaver There should be an option to turn the LED off. I don't have any of these modules so can't confirm. What settings are available when you click on the device? Is there a Backlight, Status, or LED brightness setting at all? What Firmware are you on? (This is posted in the ISY994 area). If you're on ISY994 FW 5.x you might have to press the button labeled for the setting for it to "take". That's a UI issue that was introduced in 5.x updates. On this one I'd have to click on "Backlight" to get that value to set. The above is for an outlet I have so your options for the plugin dimmer might be different. Otherwise, look up Light Dims as an option (for this and other LEDs in the room). There appeared to be a way to dim the light with local programming (Google the user manual for it), but not sure how that's done and it's not advised if being controlled by a controller so makes it seem that a controller would be able to turn the status light off (at least dim it some).

Brian H Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I have a Light Dim on my ISY994i. Power LED to dim it out. I did not see the LED settings mentioned in any of the 2475D manuals I have in my archives. Link to comment

Found this online: http://cache.insteon.com/pdf/2457D2.pdf Page 18 & 19 reference "Local Programming" that I thought might be possible if it isn't an option within the IoX system. 1 Link to comment
Brian H Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Thank you for the findings. Maybe possible with the button routines. I forgot the Set Button Programming sequences. It does look like the LED brightness can be adjusted. I had looked in the Software Only section and it did not look like it could be adjusted remotely just with some manual button clicks and led indications. Link to comment

I am running ISY994i Firmware 5.3.4 so I should be good to go. I assumed that the "Backlight" option would let me configure the LED brightness but apparently not. In case it matters, the LampLinc is shown by the Admin Console as "LampLinc BiPhy v.43". -Wes Edited April 12, 2023 by Wes Westhaver Link to comment

That flow chart is clear as mud. I am surprised that there are options that are *only* available through local programing. It would be so much better to also make them available through software. -Wes 1 Link to comment

The admin console doesn’t know the setting stored in the device. Second, after adjusting the drop-down you must press the LEFT of the drop-down that has the word backlight in it. Link to comment

I tried various Backlight level settings. I tried using the "Backlight" button after selecting a new level. And I tried using the "Write Changes" button to no avail. What might I be missing??? Has anyone else been able to control the LEDs in their 2457D2 modules? -Wes Edited April 12, 2023 by Wes Westhaver Link to comment
