    Is there a way to increase the 'delta' in key backlight output?

    I would like to have the LED's in the keypad turn completely off when off, and full brightness when on, effectively increasing the contrast.

    Currently, it only appears that I can set the backlight brightness down very low, which gives me 'off', but then the LED's are relatively dim when on. Turning up the brightness setting results in a partial glow to the keys even when off.

    Is there some way to tweak this, or am I missing something?

    Using current generation 6 button keypad Linc, and Hub2 (non pro) with iOS app.

    An ISY allows that.

      Thanks. I listed my in-use hardware.

      Any options that don't require an additional $200 hardware purchase?

        Not with what you have.

        FYI: most members try to help you based on the information you provide. If what you have will not work then they will point you to what will.

          The Owner's Manual describes how to change the LED brightness, but that affects both the On and Off brightness concurrently. If you want to adjust them separately, you need something more powerful than what you have. Anything that allows that includes much, much more. There is not an app that has only that specific feature.

          Try to buy a new car that has rear speakers, but not front speakers or an A/C, but not a heater.
