Most of my keypads (2334-2s) are configured with the backlight off when the key is off, and the backlight bright when the key is on. However, the ones in the barn are configured to be dim when the key is off, and bright when the key is on so that I can see the buttons even when the lights are off. These were configured years ago under my ISY.

The minor issue I am having is that I do not know what backlight settings these keypads have. When I click on the keypad in either AC or EISY-UI, the backlight setting is 0/0, not whatever is currently set in the keypad. Querying the keypad doesn't update this. I assume that the bright/off keypads are 7/0 and the barn keypads are something like 7/1 or 7/2, but I don't know this for sure.

Is this by design or should the AC and/or EISY-UI display the current backlight setting? If by design, is there a way to determine the current backlight setting for a keypad? I can of course change the setting by trial and error to replicate the current setting, I was just wondering if there is a more direct route.

The backlight settings can vary between the KPL firmware versions. It's mostly trial and error to get your perferred settings

It appears that eisy-ui / admin console doesn't retain the backlight settings

Thanks, Techman.

After a little more searching on the forums and in AC, I did notice that the settings are retained in the "LED Brightness" settings at the bottom of the screen in AC. There is more information in https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/33228-backlight-led-settings/ that proved helpful. I'm still not sure if the Backlight settings and the LED Brightness settings are setting the same thing, but using the LED Brightness settings seems to be more consistent and you can see what is actually set. The "LED Brightness" option doesn't appear to be present in the current version of EISY-UI, so this functionality might disappear with AC.

Can you please attach a screen shot showing in AC and missing from eisy-ui. Then right click the node in the list > Configuration > NodeInfo (requires eisy-ui beta), similar in Admin Console.

@Javi

This is what he was referring to

eisy-ui only has the "Backlight" option, whereas the AC has backlight and LED Brightness for the KPL

In the AC Blacklight always shows 0/0, while LED Brightness shows the actual LED setting
