I want to use the backlight as confirmation of an action. (Make it flash...) I have been unable to trigger the backlight by calling the light button from a macro. Is there a way to trigger the backlight without actually pushing the button?

The LIGHT button doesn't turn the light on, per se, it turns on the light function. If the light function is current off and you press the light button, the backlight will illuminate, and if the light function is currently on and you press the light button, the light function will turn off and the backlight will also stay dark.
When you program macros on the remote itself, you cannot include the light button, but you can include it when you program macros using IR.exe, however, I don't think this will get you your desired results.
Your visual confirmation that the buttons are being pressed is both the red LED lighting up and the IR icon displaying, once per macro step.

How about if the macro contained two light functions in a row? Then, no matter what state the light is in, it would turn on. And as a bonus, the light function state would be returned to its previous setting.

This topic leading me a good idea. I want to modify the PCB's circuit for connect original LED signal to drive on all backlight LED. It could be not difficult to have done it.
I don't want to open my remote at the moment. If anyone have interest, please try it and post the result. |

If the backlight function was off, the first press would turn the light on and the second press would turn it off, so the backlight would flash.
If the backlight function was on, the first press would turn it off and the second press would turn it on and leave it on.
