    Keypad with load control

    I have a few 6-button PCS keypads that also have the ability to control a load. It does not appear that the plug-in creates a device that reflects that state of that load. Am I missing something?

    how many devices does the plugin create? Does one of them can control the load?
    could you send your .upe file?

      There are 8 devices for each keypad, but none of them reflect the state of the load controlled by the keypad, and as far as I can tell, none of them control that load directly, only if it corresponds to a key that has a link assigned to it that the load responds to.

        you're right the plug-in assumes a keypad never has a load attached, so I think I need to add one device for the load. I'm just surprised no one ever mentioned this problem before...

        just to confirm in your upe file, the devices we are talking about are "Basement Entry Keypad", "Basement Center Keypad", "Basement Stairs Keypad", right?

          I am too, but then again, it's been almost two years since I installed them, and I just noticed. Clearly, this is not an urgent matter. I just assumed I was missing something, and expected you'd point me to my mistake.

          Yes.

            Has this been resolved? Just purchase KPLD-7 and will need HS direct control of the loads.

              In version 3.0.0.48 available in the beta section of the updater, I have added one device that represent the state of the load.
              So for each keypad you will get one device for each button with the "- Btn x" suffix, and one additional device for the load without any suffix

              Please test and let me know

                    After getting in to this more, it appears that the load device is created as a ON/OFF only device. The load on the KPLD-7 is dim-able. Could you look at this when you get a chance?

                    Thanks.

                      delete the device created for the load then install version 3.0.0.49 it should recreate a dimmable device.

                          When I stop and restart the plugin, the log is being flooded with the same error message. I turned on debugging a captured a portion of the errors, and it appears to be related to the keypads:

                            can you copy/paste the logs as text, it's kind of difficult to read in the screenshot
                            thanks
