You will see a number of keypads in the house. These were added at the end of the Example Lutron Homeworks Lights.

Click in the Living room on the keypad at the front door.

The menu that pops up will look like the one at the right. Note that the name of the menu is "Edit Keypad", not "Add Keypad". Also note that there is a "Delete" button at the bottom of the menu. Both of these indicated that you clicked on the dot to edit an existing keypad instead of near the dot to add a new keypad.

Click on the dropdown for the "Model" and change it to "Homeworks seeTouch 7B"

You will get the following warning. Please read the warning and then click OK to change the model of the keypad.

After the new menu appears, you will have to re-enter the "Keypad Address" at the bottom.

Arm the security system with button 7

Click on button 7 (the bottom button)

Navigate the Action tree to "Security" "Arm Stay"

Click on "Arm Stay"

After clicking OK, button 7 would then arm the security system

Control the Outdoor Front Yard lights with the Living room keypad

Instead of arming the security system, use button 7 to control the Room scenes in the Outdoor Front Yard

Click on button 7 (the bottom button)

Navigate to the bottom of the Action Tree to "Goto Page" and click on "New Page".

The New Page menu will pop up with a default of "2". Change it to say "Front Yard".

Click OK.

You will get the menu at the right with a two tabs on the left: the top one named "MAIN" which is presently the active tab and the other one below it named "Front Yard".

Click on the tab for the Front Yard.

Change the action of the top button from "No action" to putting the Outdoor Front Yard into Normal scene. Remember to use "Action and Goto Page" as explained in Keypads and Displays. If you forget, you will get a warning message. If you click "Yes" on the warning message, it will fill in the "Action and Goto Page" for you.

Change the other 5 buttons of the top 6 to be the other scenes of the Outdoor Front Yard. You can follow the order as they are listed in the Action Tree.

You will get the menu at the right.

Note that you can now control the Room scenes of both the Living room and the Outdoor front yard from the same keypad.

One last thing, let's re-add the ability to arm the security system by tapping 7 - 7.

Configuring the bottom button on the Front Yard page of the menu to arm the security system and return to the Main page.

Copy the Living room front door keypad to the keypad over the Kitchen sink

Click on the keypad over the sink.

Click on the dropdown for the "Model" and change it to "Homeworks seeTouch 7B"

Read and click Yes to the warning.

Re-enter the keypad address of 1:6:2

Use the "Copy Keypad Configuration dropdown to select the "Keypad Living room SW"

Click the "Copy" button.

You will get the menu at the right with all of the buttons copied from the Living room.

Note that the buttons on the front were based on "This Room" therefore, they will now control the kitchen.

However, the buttons on the second page where referenced to the room. Therefore, they continue to control the Outdoor Front Yard Room scenes - just what we wanted.

Click OK.

Use button 7 of the other Living room keypad to toggle the fireplace on and off.

Click on the other Living room keypad.

Click on the dropdown for the "Model" and change it to "Homeworks seeTouch 7B"

Read the warning and click Yes to it.

Re-enter the keypad address of 1:6:3

Click on the bottom button and use the Action Tree to create a new page.

After selecting the "New Page" option above, you will get the pop up menu at the right. Accept the default numbered page.

Go to page 2 by clicking on the tab labeled "2"

Toggle the fireplace on with the bottom button and return to the main page.

Use "This Room..." and "All" to create a button that can be copied to other rooms.

However, if you only have one fireplace and you want multiple keypads to control it, then do not use "This Room...". Instead, use the name of the room.

You will get the menu at the right where the tapping the bottom button twice will turn the fireplace on.

Return to the Main page by clicking on the tab labeled "Main".

Configure the bottom button to turn the fireplace off OR go to page 2.

Now we have a keypad where tapping the bottom button twice within the 500 millisecond "Event or Goto Page" timeout time will turn on the fireplace.

And we have a keypad that can turn off the fireplace by tapping the bottom button once (it will turn off after a 500 millisecond delay).

Click OK.

Create button presses to disarm the security system

Create a page of the keypad to be a subset of the keypad numbers. Then use those numbers to disarm the code. One constraint will be that the disarming code will have to map to the subset of numbers represented on this keypad. For example, suppose the security code is 1-2-3-4, then we will create a page of the keypad that includes these numbers.

Open up the keypad next to the front door.

Go to page "Front yard" by clicking on the tap for that page.

The bottom button will say "Goto page MAIN".

Click on that button and select "Goto Page", "New Page".

Call the new page "Security".

Click "OK".

Click on the tab for the Security page.

Click on the first button and follow the Action Tree to have it send a "1" to the security system as shown at the right.

Continue adding the actions for sending security keys to the security system using the Lutron keypad.

For the last button, make it return to the main page (so you don not have to wait for the "Back to First Page" timeout of 3 seconds).

Now entering "7" (to get you to the Front yard page), "7" ( to get you to the Security page), "1, 2, 3, 4" (the security code) will disarm the security system.

If you change the security code, the keypad will be able to enter the new security code (provided it is comprised of the numbers 1-6 only).

Arming the security system

Go to the page named "Front yard" by clicking on its tab.

Change the bottom button to do an "action or goto page" where the page it goes to is the Security page and the action it takes if another button is not pressed quickly is the to arm the security system for leaving the house.

Now pressing the bottom button of the Lutron keypad three times will arm the security system as you are walking out the door.

As you walk in, you can use the keypad to disarm your alarm system (provided your code only uses the digits 1 - 6). For example, you your code is 1,2,3,4, then press buttons 7,7,1,2,3,4.

You are done. Click "OK".

Then copy this keypad into the Kitchen by the window and change arming the security system from arming it for away to arming it for staying home.
