Hello all,

Me again.

I am now trying to set up a keypad linc button to only send an "off" signal - that part has been done and is working great. (set keypad linc secondary button toggle mode to "Non-Toggle [Off]" - add to a scene as a controller and then the other items I want to turn off added as responders).

All good works like a charm.

Now we get to the tricky bit. The keypadlinc pad is by the door and I want it to "light" if any of the responders are switched on by a person. Ok - I also got that to work by writing a program the monitors for each of the "responders" to get switched - and if so then it sets the keypadlinc button to "On" (created a scene where the keypad linc button is a responder and program turns on the scene).

This also works fine - and whenever I turn something on - the keypadlinc secondary button lights up - all good so far.

Here is the issue - when I click the keypad linc button - it turns everything off still as it should - but the keypad linc button stays lit (which I thought it would anyway due it no longer being defined as a toggle switch). So I thought the way around this would be to write a program to capture when the keypad linc button is pressed - and then just set its own LED to "off" (I used a scene for this where the keypad linc button is simply a responder - so I set the scene to off).

However, this program simply will not "fire" - or its not working (I have the If statement checking if the keypadlinc button is switched off OR if the status is off.

Anyone any idea on how I can what I thought would be a simple process to work to turn off the LED when I click the keypadlinc button?

Here is the program watching for the keypadlinc button press:

MainLevelAllOffLEDReset - [ID 0025][Parent 0022]

If
        'MainLevel / Kitchen Area / Entry / KitEntPad3_5_MainAllOff' Status is Off
     Or 'MainLevel / Kitchen Area / Entry / KitEntPad3_3_InAllOff' is switched Off
 
Then
        Set 'MainLevel / Kitchen Area / Entry / Scenes / MainLevelOffLEDControl' Off
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

noticed an error in the program - here is the corrected version (still does not work :-) ).

Note that I also cleared the log and then clicked that keypad linc button - and - nothing in the log at all - completely empty (as it happens the admin console generates errors when the log is empty ). But - it is empty.

So does that mean that when a keypadlinc button is set up like this and someone presses it that the EISY does not get any kind of notification?

MainLevelAllOffLEDReset - [ID 0025][Parent 0022]

If
        'MainLevel / Kitchen Area / Entry / KitEntPad3_5_MainAllOff' Status is Off
     Or 'MainLevel / Kitchen Area / Entry / KitEntPad3_5_MainAllOff' is switched Off
 
Then
        Set 'MainLevel / Kitchen Area / Entry / Scenes / MainLevelOffLEDControl' Off
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I think I would figure out why this is happening, rather than trying to create a bandaid program to correct the first error. I assume that you now have a program somewhere that is turning it on and now a program trying to turn it off. It sounds as if the first program is winning.
