8 button RL in toggle. How do i get scene to turn the toggle to on?

[ThisIsTheWay]

I have a scene that controls a light.  That light is also controlled by an 8 button RL in toggle mode.

Is there a way to have the scene also flip the RL buttons  toggle from off to on?

I added it to the scene but i only see ability to set default, command, or ignore...and none of those did what I was wanting

What is a "RL"? A Keypadlinc?

If the scene isn't triggered by that same keypadlinc (sounds like it isn't) then you can make the keypadlinc a responder to the scene that controls the light. I have a few keypadlinc buttons that get updated that way, so that they are always in the correct next toggle mode.

If the keypadlinc is also controlling that light, then you need to create two scenes: one with the keypadlinc as a controller and the light as responder, and a second scene where the roles are reversed. In my naming scheme, I have for example "Scn table" and "Scn table rev", where that second one updates the keypadlinc button if the light was turned on other than by the keypadlinc button (could be the switch itself, a program, even another keypadlinc).

Add the keys to a scene and make them both controllers. Add the light too

I think you will find that a single scene, with both as controllers, will work fine.  Controllers are, by definition, also responders.

Remotelincs, if I recall, have certain limitations due to being battery devices.  I do not believe that they are constantly listening for signals (to save battery life) and may not respond to scene commands.

I don't think that it listens when in power saving mode and not woken up to see commands.

It may not even have an RF receiver in it.

add and correct

Which would make sense because you have to manually put it in linking mode, contrary to line powered devices that you can link by just entering the device id.

However, how would links get written into it?
