If you put a button in standalone any commands directly on the button or even in a macro will fire out the front of the remote IR. If you build a system macro and add that to your standalone button those will fire RF.

If you ever have 2 system macros running make sure they dont step on each other. A system macro that takes 6 seconds to run needs at least a 6 second delay between it and the other System macro. This usually only comes up for me if I have 2 processors or more.
