I think I've found some oddball bug on the RemoteLinc, I'm trying to narrow it down now. Maybe someone else can chime in, or duplicate on their end.
In my house I have 7 KeypadLincs installed. One thing all these KeypadLincs have in common is buttons to control my front door and driveway lights.
One primary goal of my RemoteLinc is to be able to leave 1 in my car and turn my driveway lights on or off if I need to.
So basically, I program button 4 of my RemoteLinc to control my driveway lights, which means it links to:
- (1) KeypadLinc primary load button
- (6) KeypadLinc secondary buttojns
Then I program button 5 of my RemoteLinc to control my front door lights, which means it links to:
- (1) InlineLinc
- (7) KeypadLinc secondary buttons
If I push button 4 on or off, it works great. If I push button 5 on or off, it works great.
HOWEVER - if I push ALL ON or ALL OFF one of the front door light secondary buttons is not controlled. Coincidentally or not, it's a secondary button on the same switch that carries the load for the driveway lights.
I'm still trying to narrow down the problem and try to duplicate it in a different scenario, but figured I'd post it up here and see if anyone else has notice anything.
Otherwise, everything is working fantastic.
Just did a test to confirm your bug.
I used a RemoteLinc, a ControlLinc, a KeypadLinc, and 2 LampLincs.
LampLinc 1 is Linked to Button 1 on the KeypadLinc, ControLinc and RemotrLinc.
LampLinc 2 is Linked Button 1 on the ContoLinc and RemoteLinc and the first secondary button on the KeypadLinc.
ControLinc correctly controls the LampLincs and status lights on the KeypadLinc stay in sync even when using All On and All Off.
RemoteLinc correctly controls LampLincs but when using All On and All Off the secondary button on the KeypadLinc does not stay in sync. KeypadLinc Primary button always displays correctly.

I had the steps below backwards (as noted in later posts) so I am correcting them

This may be an issue with KeypadLinc firmare rather than with the RemoteLinc. I know I had a similiar problem with ControLincs and the workaround was to ensure that links to KeypadLinc button 1 were programmed
AFTER links to secondary buttons. Of course if you do not need a link to button 1 on the KeypadLinc this will not work.
I would try the following:
Remove all links from RemoteLinc to the KeypadLinc
Link a button from the RemoteLinc to Button
a secondary button on the KeypadLinc
Verify this works OK using the All On and All Off from RemoteLinc
Now link a button from the RemoteLinc to ther secondary buttons on the KeypadLinc and/or Button 1 on the KeypadLinc
Test again to see if the secondary button still works with All On and All Off
There is a bug in the firmware of KeypadLincs that requires you to link seconary buttons to a ControLinc or RemoteLinc BEFORE linking them to KeypadLinc button 1. Otherwise the KeypadLinc secondary button LEDs will get out of sync when using ALL ON and ALL OFF commands.
