Hi,

 

I have a number of dimmers & switchlinc relays in my bedroom & at night, its really bright between the keypads, etc.

 

Is there a way to dim the LED when the lights are off? I seem to remember with teh keypads years ago there was some combo to press buttons & make it dimmer. Any ideas on what I can do?

 

Thanks,

Rich

Using the same Program Action statement for turning the device On/Off, scroll down through the selections to the Backlight level settings.

I dim all my keypads each night, and brighten them the next day.

What this series of programs does essentially is 10m after I have all the lights off like I would if I were going to sleep, it dims all the backlights if I am home. The scene 'Keypad Dim Cleanup' is a scene with all the KPL buttons in it so any that were left on get turned off so the keypads go completely dark. Well, almost all the KPL buttons, I left my nightlight button in the bathroom out of the scene so it stays illuminated so I can find it in the dark.
