Dimmer Keypad, 8-Button

Recommended. I have created scenes for various light levels and equipment, depending on what I am doing in that room at the time. This keypad replaces a standard decora switch and allows me to control them all. So far, all of these have proven reliable and (with a computer) easy to add to scenes. You do not have to connect the "A" button to any device; I have one of these in a tabletop enclosure and simply capped the load wire with a wirenut. I'm sure it goes hot when I turn on button "A", but that does not matter. What matters is that "A" can control the scene to which it belongs. (I did not clip the wire in case I ever move the device to a place where it does control a load.)

First off, I did not expect it to have an output. I was looking for a way to control several din rail devices. I have been wiring plugs and lights in my covered backyard patio and am using a din rail box with up to 8 din rail modules. currently I have three done. 1. Rim light - a string of lights that going around the edge of the cover. 2. GFI plug for the fountain. 3. back porch light. Next is two strings of can light that will go over the outdoor kitchen. then a fan /w light for over the dining table. Finally a fan and light over the seating area. I don't understand why I have to create a scene for each din rail device in order to control with the 8 button switch. Also I had no idea it was a dimmer. Works will but the main button is not used, leaving me with only 7 buttons. The main has to be part of each scene and goes on with every scene. So It was not exactly what I expected but is working well so far.

This worked so well with my main floor renovation that I came back for another during my lower level renovation. I initially combined the 8-button keypad with a PLM serial modem (2413S) from Insteon [to convert signals between powerline & Ethernet] and a Universal Devices ISY controller (UD ISY994i ZW+ Pro). With that hardware setup, a free ISY Java console on my PC, and a $5 app on my phone, I can control the 8-button keypad, set scenes, timers, etc. Adding a 2nd 8-button keypad (2334-222) to the mix was seamless -- wired it up, powered it on, added the ISY addresses (essentially just like MAC addresses) to the Java app, and was able to immediately control the 2nd set of scenes just as easily. Highly recommend to any DIY'er !

I have 3 of these devices. One KPL keeps track of lights on my main floor (Living area, kitchen, dining, etc) It also controls a scene to turn the whole floor off. The second KPL monitors and controls the basement lights. I have several rooms and it shows me when something is left on. The last one is for my detached garage and outdoor lighting. It controls my garage doors, interior lights and exterior lights. It also controls the landscape and spot lights. They have been pretty solid, as they have been installed since 2012/2013 and are programmed with a Universal Devices EISY. This particular KPL was always a bit flakey. The LED lights quit and I decided just to replace it. It’s time. Using the EISY replace function got me back up running in record time. BTW. I am loving the app. Keep the changes coming! I am getting close to abandoning eKeypad Pro.

Great service and great delivery. And the product works Fantastically.
