MET-6N Firmware v.11.2 bug heads up and workaround

I reported a bug today regarding the MET-6N keypad firmware v1.11.2. The keypad does not release the channels or level on reboot which causes a problem with feedback. AMX has confirmed the bug and said that it will be fixed in a future firmware release.
I don?t know if the MET-7 or MET-13 exhibit the same problems but I imagine they might since they use the same firmware.
The workaround that I?m using is to pulse all the channels and do a level change when the keypad comes ONLINE:
Hope this saves some troubleshooting time for those that are using the keypads

DATA_EVENT[dvKeypad] { //MET-6N ONLINE: { //@BRT-<on brightness (0-32)>,<off brightness (0-32)> SEND_COMMAND DATA.DEVICE,'@BRT-32,0' //?@WBRT-<on brightness (0-32)>,<off brightness (0-32)>? SEND_COMMAND DATA.DEVICE,'@WBRT-32,0' PULSE[DATA.DEVICE,1] PULSE[DATA.DEVICE,2] PULSE[DATA.DEVICE,3] PULSE[DATA.DEVICE,4] PULSE[DATA.DEVICE,5] PULSE[DATA.DEVICE,6] PULSE[DATA.DEVICE,11] SEND_LEVEL DATA.DEVICE,1,255 SEND_LEVEL DATA.DEVICE,1,0 } }
Hope this saves some troubleshooting time for those that are using the keypads

Thanks for the heads up! We just got these in (all three of them), and I'll be programming these soon. I like the "future" update line . . . I just don't understand why that if it's a known bug they don't release a fix for it immediately.
Ahh - I misread. I thought you said that AMX knew about it already. Whoops!
And I also agree with vining's statement. At the very least, they should send out an email to everyone that's bought one. I mean - don't they do that with baby seats?
I'll give them some time though.

Tools > Firmware Transfers > Send to Axcess Device
That is correct.
