You are correct in saying that the pronto does not have conditional logic as say a Crestron or AMX, however, you can, with the use of macros, write conditions into specifically placed buttons. The difference is that YOU are the control processor instead of a seperate piece of eq. like the Crestron. For example: your main device page will have you choose which device you want an will turn on everything needed for that device. The properties for each device can be specific to that device, therefore, use the 4 firm buttons as device switching and power buttons. Like this: if you are watching DSS and want to go to DVD, don't go back to the main page (because you may be comming back from any of the devices and the remote doesn't know where you came from), instead, push the firm button labled DVD and it knows that the receiver and tv are already on and may only need to change inputs but will turn the DSS receiver off and the DVD on and then jump to the DVD device where the firm button macros are slightly altered because you will want to change the state of the equipment from the DVD page now. The "browse backward" feature will take you back to the previous page to "try again" if something didnot receive an IR code for whatever reason - this is only reliable if you have descrete codes for everything which is why most of us here at RC are always looking for them and are so upset at manufactures that don't accept them. Toggles are EVIL
Hope this gives you some ideas for better control with less button pushing and page jumping.
