Process for converting KPL from 6 button to 8 button

[blartyo]

Hi,

 

What is the best way to convert a 6 button KPL to an 8 button KPL?

 

Is there a function within ISY to do this?

 

Or, do I manually hold the A and F [correction A and H] key down while pulling out the set tab on the KPL? And then, how do I instruct ISY that the KPL has changed? Relink?

 

Thank you.

I don't think there is any way the ISY can change the mode.

 

Isn't it the A & H buttons when you push the set button back in?

I would:

Delete the KPL from the ISY.

Perform a Factory Reset on the KPL.

Change the KPL to 8 button mode.

Add the KPL back to the ISY. The ISY will read the mode.

Right, A and H key. And thanks for the info.

Rand,

That is a good little tip about switching a KPL that already exists in the ISY. I am going to add it to the KPL how to in the wiki.
