Scenario: 2 6-button controllers, and a load to control (US2-40)
In order to use the ON and OFF buttons on the controller to contol the load, and to show the status of the load via lighting only the ON or OFF button in response to the load changing (via the US2-40 or transmissions to it, including from the 6-button controllers) I have concluded that I cannot use a single link (ie, LoadDevice) but must use separate links (ie LoadDeviceON and LoadDeviceOFF) in order to get the ON and OFF lights to track the changing status of the US2-40. I have the US2-40 rockers use LoadDeviceON and LoadDeviceOFF to transmit and control the load. Is this necessary?
If so, now I have the following problem: I want to also control and show status of the same load via the "A" pushbutton on another 6-button controller. I believe I can get it to transmit LoadDeviceON and LoadDeviceOFF alternately, but how do I get the light to track the status of the Load (ON when LoadDeviceON received and OFF when LoadDeviceOFF received).
Any suggestions on how to make this work, ie:
First 6-button controller: ON and OFF control and show status of US2-40
Second 6-button controller: "A" control and show status of US2-40
US2-40 control load and show status of load
Thanks in advance,
Ed
