I feel like I've done this before but I can't seem to find a project that has this particular setup. And maybe I'm just hallucinating and I haven't done it. 

I want to have a KPL that has a few loads that it controls and then has a "room off" button. The LED of that button would illuminate when ANY of the lights are on, but it would only go off if that button is switched off. 

e.g. I have a 6-button where the layout is:

  • On/Off - bedroom cans
  • A - Pendant Left
  • B - Pendant Right
  • C - Rope Light
  • D - Room Off

So then the scenes that I'm thinking of are as follow:

  • Bedroom Cans -- 
    • Controller/Responder - On/Off
    • Responder - D button
  • Pendant Left
    • Responder - Micro Dimmer (Pendant Left)
    • Controller/responder - A button
    • Responder - D button
  • Pendant Right
    • Responder - Micro Dimmer (Pendant Right)
    • Controller/responder - A button
    • Responder - D button
  • Rope Light
    • Responder - outlet linc (Rope Light)
    • Controller/responder - C button
    • Responder - D button
  • Room Off
    • Responder - Pendant Left
    • Responder - Pendant Right
    • Responder - On/Off Cans
    • Responder - Rope Light
    • Responder - A, B, C, on/off buttons
    • Controller/responder - D button

So this makes it so that if I turn on any of those lights then the D button comes on. But it also makes the D button go off if I turn off any of those lights. As is expected. But I feel like I had a scenario where I was able to illuminate the D button when any of those were on but not switch it off when they go off. 

I think that I could do this with a program but I thought that I had done it with just scenes in the past. But I tried to set the D button to non-toggle and see if there was something I could do there but doesn't appear that that is my solution. 

Thought??

I have a couple of cases where I turn on the LED backlight of a button if any of the lights are on, but I do it with a program. The nice thing about it is that it works with anything that can be status tracked, not just lights in scenes. Something like:

If Light A Status is On

Or Light B Status is On

Or Light C Status is On

Or Variable something_status = 1

...

Then Set Scene KPL LED x On

 

Another advantage is that if pressing the button toggles the LED on or off, the program will override that within a second or two.
