I am not sure how practical that would
be
for most people, especially with the limitations on the length of serial
cables. There is also an additional step, in that it is actually
going:
IR
è X10
è CM11A
è Homeseer
è CM11A
è X10
è
Device
Why not for scence setting cut out the
Homeseer piece altogether and store your specific scene setting macros
directly
into the CM11A. Homeseer will still be able to keep track of the device
status's but everything should happen a little
quicker.
What would be really nice is a CM11A
and a IR7243 combined.

I've got Homeseer, and although I haven't
actually
tried this out, I
can't see why it won't work.
At the moment you're going:
IR -> X10 -> Homeseer -> X10 ->
Devices
You've got two sets of X10 delays in there. So
how
about putting an
IR receiver onto a serial port on the Homeseer
machine, which would
give:
IR -> Homeseer -> X10 ->
Devices
Should cut down your delay!
