I used INSTEON_KEYPADLINCRELAY instead of INSTEON_KEYPADLINC just 
because my KeypadLinc is the relay version, not the dimmer version. But 
now that I think about it, I am not positive this is correct because the 
relay only applies to button one, and I suppose the other buttons can be 
used to dim other devices.

I setup all buttons in the same way. Here's the full definition:

INSTEON_KEYPADLINCRELAY, 22.91.ed:01, garage_light, 
All_Lights|Garage|Outside
INSTEON_KEYPADLINCRELAY, 22.91.ed:03, kpl_garage_button_a, hidden
INSTEON_KEYPADLINCRELAY, 22.91.ed:04, kpl_garage_button_b, hidden
INSTEON_KEYPADLINCRELAY, 22.91.ed:05, kpl_garage_button_c, hidden
INSTEON_KEYPADLINCRELAY, 22.91.ed:06, kpl_garage_button_d, hidden

I suppose it's more accurate to use INSTEON_KEYPADLINC for the A, B, C, 
and D buttons...

Sure thing; glad to help! Hang in there -- it's indeed a steep learning 
curve but assistance here in the list is great.
