This is a coincidence, cos I just spent Tuesday evening rigging up my first
attempt a "scenes"...using only X10 - and I was going to post
about the
less-than-ideal results.

I've got a single button press on a Pronto, going via an IR7243 to
Homeseer - which then issues a series of X10 commands to set each of the
lights in the room accordingly.

I was expecting something much more responsive...but it's not. It's OK -
but
not quite as good as I'd hoped.

But what are the alternatives ?? Or can I make Homeseer do it
"faster"
somehow ??
