I understand that the On and Off buttons on the 6 key keypads are configured as "always on" and "always off" respectively.
I had, however, assumed that they were effectively separate controllers but it appears when trying to set the keypad up that they are really a single logical controller with two physical buttons associated with it.
I had hoped the I could use the Off button as an "All Off" by linking it to every dimmer in the room to turn it off, but it appears that the On and Off buttons have to control the same set of dimmers which is what I don't want to do.
In case that wasn't clear, I do want the On and Off buttons to control the load that is directly wired to the keypad dimmer, but I also want the Off button to linked to several other dimmers so that it will turn *all* of them off (and I do *not* want the On button to turn them on).
Sounds simple (and useful) but, unless I am missing something, it doesn't seem to be possible,
