Programming Keypad/Switch LEDs


KWD

Recommended Posts

What is the best method to program the LEDs on the keypads and switches to follow an action? I want to have some of my switches LEDs turn red when the alarm is armed. Currently have it to set the top and bottom LED when the alarm is armed depending if the switch is on or off, but there seems like there should be a better way.

Led wizard driver

Unless I'm missing something it doesn't completely work. It will change them, but not based on their current state and when you cycle states of the light, the LEDs revert back to their original color.

What would the proper setting be?

Never mind, it was "Toggle LED Current". Works like a charm, thank you. 

Looks like with the upgrade to 3.1.1 this isn't working anymore. None of the toggles work.

I'm not familiar with the LED Wizard driver but this can be achieved through programming.

Select your alarm system on the left and have the LED indicator on the keypad change colour based on whether it's currently armed or unarmed. Post screenshots if you try it and it doesn't work for you.

That’s how I was doing it, it’s just a lot more programming and have to do it per switch where as the LED Wizard can, or could do it it with one line for arm and one for disarm.

Here is the programming using AV room control as an example.

Room Control Driver in living room for example

Programming > When Living Room Room Control enters watch or listen mode (From Room Control Driver) > Then Select your keypad > Select your Button from the drop down > Change your color in the box to the right > and select Set Led Current. 

For an alarm you could do, When Alarm is armed > Set Led current again.

Yes, it just seems the toggle function no longer works.

Little more to it than that if you want the correct LED to change color depending on the state of the switch. LED Wizard is easier, just doesn't seem to work for me like it was.

What is the LED wizard?  Is it this driver that RyanE posted in 2013?  https://untestedhacks.com/2013/led-wizard-driver/

Or is there a newer driver?  And is it a paid driver or free with the system?

Same driver but it has been updated and authorized (probably the wrong term, but what I mean is that I would no longer qualify as an untested hack!)
