Hi,
I have a few KeypadLincs that do not attach to any load. I cap off the red wire. I grew curious of the 'Detach Load' option in the Insteon device config page. I enabled it on one of my keypads and observed the additional 'Load' device added. I still have a few questions.
Although I'm not using the load wire for anything now, I could not find a way to control the newly added 'Load' device. How does one do that?
Is there any benefit toward the longevity of the device by using the 'Detach Load' option if I do not need to use the load controlling capability of the keypad? The keypads that do not connect to loads are all dimmers, so I wouldn't hear the relay click of the on/off variety. Is the triac doing any work without a load?
Thanks!
