I am trying to set button 8 on my KPL to function as an off button. In KPL Config, when I select off and save, it refreshes the screen and selects on.
This works on button 6, is there something special about button 8?

When you first go to the KPL Conf screen and double-click the KPL ID do you get "Please wait.. Retreiving KPL data..." and lots of traffic in the SDM log?

I just tried again, and this time the off setting took?
2 days of trying probably 10 times it wouldn't.

Dave,
The current KPL revision (and previous ones) have a bug where the byte that directly controls the on/off status of a button is protected and neither able to be read or written.
The proper way to set this up is to first start with the KPL button in question as a "toggle". You must then physically press the button until the light is either on or off (light on will make the button an "on" button, light off will make the button an "off" button). Once the button light is reflecting the proper status, use the KPL config to set the button from non-toggle to either "on" or "off" (it doesnt matter since the byte that controls this is not accessible). The main thing is that you are changing the button from toggle to non-toggle and the current state of the button will determine if it is an "on" or "off". Save the changes in the KPL and you should be good to go.
I believe this is explained in the help for the KPL config screen but if it's not or I misunderstood the question, let me know and I'll fix it.
HTH,
Dave.

Yes dave, that answers my question very clearly.
Sorry, I did not look far enough into the help to find it.
