I just installed some of the DSC LC-100PI to add motion to the interior of my garage. In one instance I connected to a C4-z2IO and in another connected to my HC800 to trigger lights and timer for occupancy. First time doing this but seems to work. Not sure how it compares to the others mentioned.

First, thanks for posting this VINCELdUB. Great information. I am working on a button for my water valve and having trouble with the instructions. My question is regarding what to do with the file once you have renamed it from a .c4z to a .zip. Do you extract the zip file, make all of the necessary changes then zip it back up and change it back to a .c4z? If so, can I just use the native extract all and compressed zip features in windows 10 or do I need other software? OR Do you perform the changes while it is still a .zip file? I have downloaded first object XML editor and tried notepad, but when I alter the .xml file while the driver folder is in .zip format it will not allow me to save the changes to driver.xml. It says it is read-only and must save as another filename. Thanks for the help.

Great video. I would subscribe to this training course.

I would like to tie the keypad LEDs to respond to the audio source station rather than the keypad button press. Specifically, I followed the information I found in this post I like the idea of this, but am stuck on one thing. I have two Pandora accounts and stations within each of those two accounts. The programming I have seems to work well with regard to which pandora account is playing, but I can't seem to get the LEDs to follow when changing stations within a pandora account. Attached is a screenshot of my programming. The LEDs function properly when switching from Stephanie's Pandora to Scott's Pandora or vice versa. Where it fails is when I remain in the same Pandora account and change stations. In this case the LED won't follow. Grateful for any suggestions/guidance.

Thanks again for all of the help. I finally had some time to try this and am really pleased. I have really learned a lot from this experience and I've gotten this working very well with the exception of one thing. I wasn't able to incorporate item #3. "3. Set the LED behaviour to Push/Release and set an ON LED colour (I prefer white). This will have the effect of turning on the LED whenever you press the button and turning it off when released. I find this visual feedback very important to communicate that you've successfully pressed the button. You can set it to Programmed if you don't want that behaviour." I really like this concept as the visual feedback is great. However, If I have the LED behavior set to push/release I am unable to have the keypad button display blue when the "house off" condition is met. If I set the LED behavior to programmed it works great, but I lose the feedback from push/release. Am I doing something wrong or are you unable to program led color and have the push/release feedback. Thanks in advance.

This is all great information. Learning a lot from the responses. I am going to give this a try. Thanks again

Wow. Thank you. That does seem advanced. I will probably keep it simple for now until I've gained more experience. Not sure I could pull that off but that is terrific information. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the quick reply. I now realize that I probably should have posted this in the programming help section. However, what you are proposing is close to what I had been thinking, but then my question is regarding the LED color. Would the LED color be solely controlled by its association with the new lighting scene being either active or inactive (ex. House lights off)? That's where I started to get really confused, because if I have: 1. Activate House Lights Off scene, 2. Turn off all audio zones, 3. Lock the door. and the LED is linked to only the House Off Lighting scene then if any of the other 2 conditions become false at some point the LED would display blue rather than black? Is there a way to tie the LED color to all three criteria or is that over complicating the issue? Thanks again for your help.

I am a beginner and trying to understand how to combine some advanced lighting scenes in addition to my yale lock and audio. I have created two lighting scenes. One for the 1st floor and one for the second floor. I also have a yale lock for the exterior door and sonos audio in some rooms. I would like to program a keypad button at the exit door to do "House Off" which would activate both of my lighting scenes, lock the door and turn off any audio. I would then like to program the kepad LED to be blue when "House Off" is active and black when "House Off" is inactive. I have been able to program the individual scenes to keypad buttons and program the led. I am confused about how to combine all of this to perform the "House Off" function with LED programming. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
