What determines the actions associated with these actions? Is it down to
the C-Bus central controller to determine a long press mean dim and a short
one off for instance.

On the xAP front what I'm thinking of is a black xAP box that has a series
of connectors on one side and a serial or ethernet output on the other.
You program the box with the response for each switch (probably via the PC)
then just plug it into the network and wire up the switches. Then each
switch sends out a targeted message perhaps switch one to power up the Rio,
switch two sends out a message to switch on the light etc.
