pbir Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 INTRODUCING OUR NEWEST DRIVER: KEYPAD PAGES This driver manages up to 5 ‘Virtual Pages’ (A to E) of keypad buttons for a single keypad, plus an optional Menu page. This is easily managed by the user, and it allows a lot more power and flexibility in defining the usage of keypad buttons. The following functions are available: · Ability to have up to 5 ‘virtual’ pages for each keypad, thus significantly expanding the number of buttons available. · An optional Menu page is also available for easier navigation · Pages can be selected by the user (navigation) or via Programming and Actions · Keypad LEDs are managed automatically based on the Page selected, Color properties and the state of connected devices · The keypad may automatically revert to the Menu page or to Page A after a selectable timeout · All keypad button actions and ‘clients’ are supported · Special normally hidden pages may be activated easily, such as Guests, Party or Support. · An Up/Down Tracking facility is available to have the Up and Down buttons track to the last button pressed with optional LED feedback · When Tracking, an optional 8th button is available via simultaneously pressing the Up and Down buttons (Domosapiens exclusive) · A Special Double Tap facility is available to simplify Single Tap/Double Tap processing · Page names may be specified for easier reference in Connections, Programming and Actions · An additional passthrough (ALL) Connection is always available, regardless of the Page selected This driver is available on DriverCentral at Keypad Pages msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 this looks really interesting - i want to think about where I can use this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbir Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 Anywhere you would say "Gee, I wish I had some more buttons on this keypad !" It is also a way to regroup functions: Lighting Scenes on one page, individual Loads on another page, Shades/Blinds on their separate page, etc. msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Africa C4 user Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I’m busy upgrading my buttons at one house to the Contemporary line and this driver has made me re-think a little about how I do things. I have a big open plan area (with a kitchen, lounge, dining room and TV area all in the same open plan area). Am I correct in saying that I could have a double gang keypad where the first keypad is, say: Kitchen Dining Lounge TV Lounge Reading Nook All Rooms And have the second keypad as: Downlights Rope Lights Chandeliers Floor Lights Effects All Off And have connections on the second keypad which change to those (lights or lighting scenes) in the relevant room based on which room is chosen on the first keypad?

pbir Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 You could do this with one keypad (Menu plus 5 pages - not 6, unfortunately). South Africa C4 user 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
