Hello gents, it’s been a while and I forgot how to do this and I’m driving myself crazy. When I have a scene on, let’s say scene called cabinet. On the eight button are you see to turn on the cabinet. No problem but when I want the scene that turns on cabinet to be on I want the LEDC to stay lit. In other words if I tell Alexa to turn on the cabinet light, I want the LED to light up also without push pushing the button. Anybody have an idea how I did it in the past sure would like to know.

Try to put the light and the button into a scene and then link that scene to Alexa.

Or less elegant is to have Alexa linked to the light and then have a program that checks the state of the light and turns on / off the button, which would be in a scene by itself.

@dbwarner5 said it well. The key point is, you can only make buttons go on and off as part of a scene that gets activated, manually or programmatically. There's no way around that, and it seems to be the thing most people forget when they haven't programmed their Insteon devices in a long time. Or if you're coming from a Lutron background, where the processor always tracks the state of all devices and turns on LEDs whenever the corresponding devices are in the correct state, no matter how they got that way. If you want that kind of behavior, you have to write the logic yourself.

I have an isy at the moment, I did it once before but forgot how I did it. Like I said I want the button to light up when the the light that is assignd to the button turns on and stay on til the light is out. This is when I tell Alex to turn it on. I dont want to use Alexa to light that button I want it all to be in the IsY

Ps I got it to work ooce, but then when I tell alexa to turn it on again it dosent work
