Radio Ra 2 Visor Control Outputs - Can you control two outputs with one control button?

[cjett]

Trying to use the Radio Ra 2 Visor Control outputs to control a frankenstein'ed remote that has two buttons... on and off.  I currently have it wired and working on TWO outputs on the Visor Control and it works without problem (by pressing the buttons on the visor control).  The problem I'm having is I'd like to use a single button on a control keypad to toggle between the two outputs and and can't seem to do that within RA2 Essentials software.  Anyone know if this is possible... or can you suggest anyway to accomplish with a single button from a keypad?  Maybe use a relay (or a FET switch) on ONE of the visor control outputs that toggles between the two?
 
One other option I just thought of... I suppose I could use my Elk M1G as the controller.  Single output from the Visor Control to an input on the Elk.  Hook up the remote to two contact closures on the Elk - On and Off.  Then setup rules to deal with activating the two contact closures.  Thoughts on this idea.
 
Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

What about picking up one of these super cheap arduino boards and making your own?

I ended up buying the contact closure add on board for the Elk. I then built some rules to handle monitoring the zone input from the radio ra 2 contact closure and then contact closing the elk outputs - on when it's pressed the first time and the off when it's pressed the second time. Working great so far.

So everything is still working great with my setup with the exception of one minor thing.  Does anyone know if it's possible, from the Elk M1, to turn on/off the light for a Radio Ra 2 keypad button?
 
If you read above you'll get the gist of what I'm doing.  Essentially, the Radio Ra 2 Keypad button is tied to a relay output on Visor control which is then tied into an Elk input.  Then, when that input becomes secure, through rules I'm activating one of two Elk outputs.  Everything works... but the light on the Radio Ra keypad is not on/off depending on the state and I'd like to programmatically turn it on and off.  Does not look like it's possible via the XSLU, but I'm hoping I'm missing something.
