LightRules Keypad

Each keypad needs to be configured with manual profile assignments for buttons 1-8. This step is done in LightRules.

When adding or removing keypads, the map file must be updated; use Commissioner software to update the map file. However, if you are making changes to the button assignments, Commissioner software is not needed.

You can "press" the buttons on any keypad virtually via LightRules:

1. Select Config > Keypads from the menu.
2. Click on the serial number of the keypad you wish to control.
3. The currently selected button appears highlighted in blue.

   

4. Click on any button to activate the manual profile associated with that button, as if you were pressing the same button on the actual keypad hardware. The newly selected button will appear highlighted in blue after a few seconds.

From the LightRules dashboard, you can cancel any manual profile activated by a keypad:

1. If not viewing the dashboard, click the Dashboard tab.
2. In the Now Active list, identify the manual profile you wish to cancel.
3. Click the "X" to the right of that manual profile.

   

4. Click Cancel Profile.

Each keypad has eight configurable buttons. Assign a manual profile to each button:

1. Select Config > Keypads from the menu.
2. Click on the serial number of the keypad you wish to edit.
3. Click Edit.



4. For each button, select a manual profile from the dropdown list. You can also leave one or more buttons unassigned.
5. (Optional) To specify a duration, in minutes, use to up and down arrows or type in a number.

Note: If a duration is specified, then the manual profile activated with that button will expire after the specified number of minutes. If no duration is specified ("0"), the manual profile will remain active until canceled.

6. Click Update Keypad.

In general, you will use Commissioner software to edit keypad general settings. However, in some instances — for example, an IP address conflict — you may need to edit certain keypad general settings right away.

1. Select Config > Keypads from the menu.
2. Click on the serial number of the keypad you wish to edit.
3. Click Edit.
4. Click Edit again.
   
5. Edit the keypad name, description, or IP address.
6. Click Update Keypad.
