Insteon KeypadLinc V2

Scott,
How do I see/set the state of the various "other" buttons on an Insteon Keypadlinc (2486D)?
If I set the KPL up in HouseBot as an Insteon Switch Device, I can see the status of the local load, but I do not have properties for the other buttons (I'm using the KPL in 8-button mode). I have linked every button to the 2414 PLC and I see a change on the SDMs status screen when one of the buttons is pressed but nothing in HB, except for the local-load status (which is the upper-right button when in 8-button configuration).
EDIT: Additional info
Layout:
KPL in 8-button mode - buttons labeled A-H - "A" controls local load
If I press "A", HB power state property changes to "On" and button "A" illuminates.
While "A" is On, pressing any of the other buttons "B"-"H" causes the pressed button to illuminate but has no effect in HB. Pressing the same button (B-H) again to turn it off causes the power state property in HB to "pulse" Off for about a second and the return to it's previous On status.
If I press "A" again to turn it off, HB power state property changes to "Off" and button "A" extinguishes.
While "A" is Off, pressing any of the other buttons "B"-"H" will now cause the power state property to pulse On for about a second and then return to it's previous Off status. As before, the pressed button will illuminate. Pressing the same button again (to turn it off) has no effect on HB, but the pressed button extinguishes.
TIA
Terry
