fredsoneya Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Now I have all my square keypads installed I’m interested to know what people’s preference is on the status LEDS? I’ve got my backlights set up how I like them but unsure what to do on the status LEDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4 User Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I use a soft blue to indicate the load status of most switches and buttons. Years ago I used different colors for on and off but found this to be too much. In bedrooms, all led and backlighting goes off when the last light in the room is turned off and doesn’t come back on until after wake up. Just have some fun playing with it and determining what is best for you. fredsoneya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I use red to signify the garage doors open and purple to signify the alarm is armed in perimeter mode fredsoneya and C4 User 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggzlot Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Red led when alarm is on. Green for load on/off i stopped with backlighting as its uneven when you have several devices next to each other due to light bleed fredsoneya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Africa C4 user Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Blue / black for single loads Aqua / black for whole areas (main suite, downstairs, upstairs, whole house etc.). Red for alarm on, green for alarm off and all external doors closed, light blue for alarm off and an external door open, pink for alarm armed with a bypass. Green for irrigation scheduled, red for irrigation not scheduled, blue for irrigation running. Various colours for music buttons depending on who’s music is playing, I used to only use pink but have now moved to multi colour to make better use of the Room Control Driver and the Domosapiens Keypad Audio Control Driver. Electric fence also uses red and green for on / off. Aircons, I use dark blue, light blue and white for various levels of “coldness” and green when the Aircon has been turned on from a navigator at some other level, black for off. Red backlights when there is a power cut... White backlights during the day in bedrooms and all black at night except for very dim orange for one or two key keypads. Various colours for the rest of the house during the day and night (change them from a touchscreen..l usually use white in the day and yellow at night... but the kids enjoy changing the, to green or aqua from time to time...) Consistency is the most Important thing. fredsoneya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo1738 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Green for garage door closed, Red for open, color coding for audio/station for room control driver in a couple rooms. You can quickly see if it's my Pandora Today's Hits, Iheart radio, and what station based on colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singularity Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Blue/Black for lights Red/Black for Netflix Blue/Black for radio (I love using the Light Switch to power on the radio in the morning.. I dont care where the remote is, the buttons are always next to the door.) Red/Green for Alarm And I actually have the LED on LOW in bedroom. I use them as a homing beacon if I need to leave the bedroom when the lights are off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
