I have tried both a 6-button & 8-button KPL (in same location), from 2 separate shipments from Bill, but am getting a similar problem with both - wanted to check if anybody had any thoughts.
The problem only seems to be with toggled buttons. I am using a couple of the KPL buttons to toggle on/off some scenes (PCS dimmers & switches) and a flourescent PCS switch. I program the buttons as specified with a maxi controller using the code + Bright (e.g. F1 + Bright) - this toggles the button between F1 On & F1 Off on subsequent pushes. The button works fine at first.
However, at some point (I have not been able to consistently replicate), the toggled buttons seem to lose the programming - the button start to send dim commands instead of just an on or off (I checked with a HomeSeer log).
I have re-programmed several time, reset to factory settings and started over, programmed on an isolated circuit, etc. But it still seems to be happening.
I think the circuit it is on the same circuit as my TV, amp, etc., but the various X10 devices in myhouse are working fine otherwise, so I don't think noise is the problem.
I also have a two-year-old who loves to push the buttons, but I have not been able to "reprogram" by mimic-ing his multi-button pushes.
Any thoughts before I exchange for simpler push-buttons? My last test will be to try in another location, but I'm not too hopeful..

Jimbo,
The KPL does seem to be pretty sensative to noise. Try removing the KPL and attaching it to a pig-tail (a cut-off extension cord) with wire nuts so that you can move it to several locations around the house to see if the Homeseer shows anything different.
