In my HT I have an MX-780 which controls my components via an MRF-350. Everything is working great except it takes time for the projector to turn on and warm up.

I have a Lutron HW lighting system which I use to set the lighting scenbe for the theater from the top of the stairs. I would love to be able to have the same button press turn on the projector and AVR so that by the time I get downstairs, things are almost ready.

Any suggestions to how to send an RS-232 command from the HW processor to a URC device that will then send IR commands to my components?

Thanks.
