Does Indigo allow for launching a trigger based on whether a keypad (i.e. button 3) is pushed on or off?

Asked differently, does Indigo recognize the status or state of individual buttons on a Keypadlinc?

Yes, I am doing it now. You have to tie them to Trigger Actions/Scenes.

It only works if the button is synced to i.e., a light, the then Indigo recognizes if the light is on or off, which then sets off the trigger.

My question is, can I accomplish the same without syncing the button to a light?

I have tried having Indigo recognize "Insteon Command Received" or "Device State Change" when pushing the button on or off, but it does not set off the trigger.

I am asking about the non-load buttons on a 6 or 8 keypad.

Actually, question 1 is not equal to question 2. To accomplish #1:

Trigger Type: INSTEON Command Received
Device: YOUR KPL HERE
Received: ON (or OFF) Button N (the button number you want to trigger on)

To accomplish #2 (only works in Indigo 5 and greater):

Trigger Type: Device State Changed
Device: YOUR KPL HERE
Keypad Button LED N (the button number you want to trigger on)
Becomes ON/Becomes OFF/Has Any Change

If these don't work, it means that when you press the buttons on the KPL the signal isn't getting back to the PowerLinc (and Indigo) so you probably have some kind of signal noise. Check out the signal troubleshooting page for common causes and solutions to signal issues.

Thanks..that is very clear....and I have tried it ..... but it is not working......

Question: All my keypad, non-load buttons control (on & off) all the lights that are synced with it perfectly....but when pushed, they do not show up on my events log

Can this be the issue??

Actually....none of my Insteon switches (though they all work fine) show up on the event log.

They only show if I access remotely from iPhone or via computer in Indigo???

Yes. The problem is that when trying to communicate to the PowerLinc (not each other) the signals are getting lost. This is a sign of signal issues. Any time a switch changes you should see it in the event log. Try moving your Access Points (or other dual-band devices that are bridging your phases) around to see if it helps. Remember to follow the bridging procedure on at least 2 to make sure they're bridging appropriately.
