FAQ

How do I use this driver?

4. Adjust Brightness: Adjust your brightness further to the desired level. Brightness levels may adjust dynamically based on Ambient Light Profile setting in Composer.
5. Don't turn the light off: If you turn the light off, while the keypads are still selected then the backlights will change to Black. This is by design. You have a few options:

Why can't I see my keypad in the 'extras' list?

My devices are hard to find, can I change the sorting?

Note: The Property 'Hide Sorting' must be set to 'No' for sorting options to appear in the 'Extras' menu.

Why won't my new keypad show up in the Extras?

If Rooms or Devices have been added/removed/modified, the Extras menu will not update automatically.

Use the 'Refresh Extras' button in the 'Extras' menu to update all devices and rooms. Any toggled Keypads will remain toggled.
