Hi Tony,

Not sure I quite understand what you're asking -

You can create an event that goes

Command   Delay
A1 ON     00:00:00
A1 OFF    01:00:00

Which will switch A1 on and then off 1 hour later. You would then need
to call that event either from a web button press, or by assigning it to
another X10 command (eg M1 ON)

HTH, if not give us a clue ;-)

Cheers
