I’m new to the Insteon/ISY-99i world, and have a question I can’t find the answer to anywhere. I’m ready to purchase my first KeypadLinc 2486DWH6 Switch (6 button). I want to program the ON button to toggle the ON and OFF the wired light (Patio Lights), and I want the OFF button to toggle a scene on and off using multiple Insteon switched lights. Is it possible to program the ON / OFF buttons to do two different things or are these buttons hard coded to only turn the wired light on and off? I will custom etch the buttons if I can program the ON and OFF keys.

 

Thanks for anyone’s feedback . . .

In 6 button mode, the main on and off buttons only work as a coordinated pair.

 

You could accomplish that behavior using 8 button mode, but it'll take some work. If you remove the button faceplate, you could program the device to 8 button mode. You'd then link button A as a controller to button B, button B as a controller to button A, button G as controller of H, and H as a controller of G. Link both G and H to the devices you want to control, and link other controllers of those devices to both buttons.

 

Finally, replace the 6 button faceplate.

That solution worked great!

Thanks for the advise.
