Reading Aux button press on Keyfob

[dphuk]

Good day, is there a way to read the Aux button being pressed on the remote keyfobs, please? (* Button on KF-235), this would then allow me to program the use of that button within HA. Regards,

Hi,
I haven't found a direct way to do this, in the messages from the panel I have looked at I haven't found anything.

My main house panel is a Powermax, this panel supports X10 devices. To use the Aux buttons I cheat and I have created 2 fictional X10 devices in the panel, X01 and X02. I have then configured "A" button to trigger the X01 switch and button "B" to trigger the X02 switch. As the panel thinks it has X01 and X02 it reports them to Home Assistant and the integration pulls them through as switch entities.
Because X10 control is 1 way to the device, plus the fact that I have not connected the X10 output to the mains supply, nothing actually happens physically.
Does this make sense?

I should have also added that you can use the PGM switch, all panels have this. Program "A" in the panel to toggle the PGM switch and use that in Home Assistant

Yes thank you, I'm doing some checking on the PowerMaster-33, but I can't see any mention of the on-board PGM

I use a PowerMaster 30 for testing, try this
