HLC LED Dimming

[Smoofness]

I've recently bought a house with an Omni IIe installed. I'm using PC Access to set my automation. Two HLC switches have been installed in the bedroom, and are bright at night, so I'd like to have them turned off. I have tried a number of things, but nothing has worked. E.g.:

When Night Flag On
Then Bedroom Lts1 UPB LED 1 Off

Am I way off base here? Any recommendations for how to turn the LEDs off at night?

Thanks

I don't think any system has direct control over the LED by itself. And I don't know about PC Access, but with UpStart you configure the LED to the on/off state of the switch. So you could set the LED to a certain color when the load is on but set the LED off when the load is off. That way when the lights are out the LEDs are completely off. I know some other switches like JetStream (Zigbee) let you configure LED brightness, but not UPB.

I plan to do switches in bedrooms soon too and need these LEDs off as well.

Thanks Steve. UpStart looks like it's a little complicated, but I'll have to give it a shot if I want those LEDs turned off.

Actually its really pretty simple. The interface is a bit quirky but you get used to it fast. It's tons more powerful than pc access. PC Access I think is good for basic and very easy setup with HAI but for really taking advantage of UPB UpStart is it. It is very powerful.
