LED Brightness

Howdy:

 

 

So from what I can see the LED brightness setting is somewhat of a mystery.

 

I sought to program something to soften the brightness of these LEDs at night, and bring them back up to full brightness in the morning. Simple enough, but several (new) switches don't seem to want to respond. What I find particularly curious is that the program seems to "know" the difference between those switches that use a % (1-100) and those who use this oddball 15/7 scale for on/off, HOWEVER, when trying to set the brightness on my 2487S v.41 (KPL Relay) the programming suggests it's a value of 1-100; but if I click "LED Brightness" in the interface, I get the "on / off" style of input.

 

Am I missing something? Probably yes, but please do point out my folly!

From the previous information I thought the problem was a Program is setting the LED Backlight level and the device is not responding.

 

What I am trying to determine by asking for the Event Viewer trace is to verify that a command is being issued to set the backlight level and what the command and backlight level values are being used.

 

Here are two samples of what is expected. The first trace is setting backlight level to 50%, the second is setting the backlight level to 80%. Need to know if these commands are being issued and with what values.

 

Set 'KPL Relay DB v40' 50% (Backlight Level)

I'm not sure I follow -- "previous information"?

 

In any event, here's the Event viewer after my programs runs and tries to set the brightness for 8 Switches:

Let me know if you need anything further.

It appears from the trace the following devices were set to specified LED Backlight level

 

1B 9C B6 – 24%

1D 35 5A – 50%

1D 35 BB – 50%

1F B6 D5 – 50%

1F B6 DA – 50%

1F BB F7 – 50%

20 42 40 – 50%

 

Could be off a percentage point or so due to rounding. Which of these devices failed to set the correct LED Backlight level. Based on the command response these devices accepted the values. If one or more did not work what is the type of KPL and firmware level of KPL of those that did not work?

There is a situation at 3.3.10 related to KPL LED Backlight level. The first trace entry is from the Admin Console setting the LED Brightness to a value of 7/15, the maximum values for Off level and On level,

 

The second trace entry is from a Program "Set 'KPL Relay DB v40' 50% (Backlight Level)" for the same device. Note both of these activities generated the same command with the same data. Yet the Admin Console is setting to max values, and the Program is setting to 50%
