Mal,

Not wanting to discourage you from automating anything, but . . . can you
fit a timer/relay to the pull cord so that even though it's yanked multiple
times, the X10 module only sees the initial pull. The timer wouldn't have
to for be long, just enough to get over the X10 delay you've got.

Just a thought :-)

Cheers,

Tim H.
