Except that it's
IR (once) -> Homeseer -> (many) X10 -> Devices
ie Homeseer runs the equivalent of a macro, taking several actions
based on a single trigger. The bottleneck probably isn't related to
kicking off the macro itself, but to the limitations of X10.
In the scene setting situation, the thing which is most un-natural is
that each event happens in strict sequence - it's hard to get the
appearance of interleaved, co-ordinated action across multiple
devices which would make the transition "smooth".
