Power Control Programming Question

I've read Will's power sequencing/logic application guide and it all makes sense, but I'm looking to do something a little different.
I'm using a Middle Atlantic RLM-15-1C standalone power module with contact closure. It doesn't have up or down, but it can be set for normally open or closed. Simple, I know.
My question is in button programming from a BLU8. I'd like to set it up so that the button is pressed momentarily for power on (closed). Subsequent presses would not do anything. To power off, the button would need to be held for 3 seconds.
When the system is on, the button's LED should be GREEN. When the system is off, the button should be RED.
Ideas or pointed would be great!

Assign a logic source to the button and then create logic programming that does what you've described.
Not possible. First, you're wanting the button action (what happens when you press it) and the button indicator (what makes the button light up) to be two different things. Only a single state variable may be assigned to each BLU-8 button, so that's impossible. Second, you're wanting the button to have an ON color and an OFF color. The BLU-8 buttons don't support that functionality.
