Great Stuart - it is surprising how awkward BSC interactions can get
and this is a great step forward to seeing what's happening.
Particularly when your focussing just on BSC and also on two
specific devices but you need to identify the targeted messages. (
to study just the pair of devices and their BSC interaction if you
see what I mean).

When you have HomeSeer with a lot of devices (eg two hundred or so -
all sending xAP messages its pretty lively)

I literally had a C-Bus light I couldnt turn ON - guess what it was
being turned OFF immediately I sent an ON command - The response
times from the Rabbit controller are literally about 100ms so it all
happens so quick now.
