Apologies, i'm sure this gets asked a lot but I can't find it. Is there some way for CQC to know that one of the Elk F5/F6 buttons was pressed?
The ISY can tell, and even on which keypad, so it's available via their API somehow...

The driver doc page is missing info on user actions. It probably got lost in the conversion over to the device class based V2 drivers. I'll put that on the list to deal with.
But, it sends out a user action for key presses. The type is KeyPress and the value is the keypad name plus the key name. You can bring up the event trigger monitor (/System/Monitor/Event Triggers) and hit a key and see what it's send. You do have to enable all the appropriate triggers in the Elk to make it send out the notifications.

i'm RDP'ed into my host right now, where is the event trigger monitor? I don't see anything in the AdminINtf under /Customize/Events/Monitors/System.

It's in the path I mentioned above. /Customize is for creating things, so only editing stuff would be there. It's in /System/Monitor/Event Triggers.

ok so I figured out the value (evdata=01/F6). Not sure what to put into the trigger though for Device or Type. I tried "User Action For".

The user action type is 'KeyPress' as I mentioned above.

What about device, just the driver name?

how do I get access to evdata from within the action dialog box?
Since I have 2 keypads and will be trapping on 4 buttons, I assume I should use
If System.Equals(evdata, 01/F5)
thing one
If System.Equals(evdata, 01/F6)
thing two
If System.Equals(evdata, 02/F5)
thing three
If System.Equals(evdata, 02/F6)
thing four
