Interesting...Lehane uses DMX in his home lighting setup too, and he
wrote a (free) xAP interface for the Milford Instruments board so if
anyone wanted to try this and integrate it with their existing HA
applications that's a route.  PaulG has just started doing this too with

his fancy RGB LED spots..
