NkySpike65 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 How can I program one of my 3 button keypad (KPZ-3B1-W) as a "press and hold" to be used as a "page" for my 250 remote when all the buttons are already being used for other things?Right now in my theater room on one wall I have two dimmer and one 3-button keypad... Dimmer-1 main lights, Dimmer-2 sconces, Keypad Button-1 controls dimmer-3 ( at top of stairs ), Button-2 "Theater On" powers up all A/V lighting, Button-3 "Good Night" powers it all down.I am wanting to be able to "hold" Keypad Button-1 down for about 3sec which would send a "page" to my 250 remote, but still be able to power the stairs light with Button-1.... Can this be done?I was trying to follow the steps in both "How To's" (How to "page" your SR-150/250 remote) and (How to create a dimmer/switch/keypad press and hold) and put them both together, but got myself a little lost.Can you show me how to do this?ThanksDavid S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I think it'd be better to do press and hold on one of the other buttons, that's not linked to use as lighting control.i.e. Press and hold the 'goodnight' button to find remotes.Pressing and holding the button that is controlling the lights will cause the lights to ramp up. Pressing and holding the 'goodnight' button won't have that effect.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henniae Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 You could also try a multi tap arrangement. 1 tap goodnite, 2 taps page remote. I find multi taps easier to program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Multi-tap would work much better in this situation as henniae suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingzz Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 ok just to offer another idea, I would have button 2 turn on theater, and if it's on then goodnight, that way you can use button 3 for other things, page remote, whatever, just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the 2 button act as a toggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
