I am trying to sort out how to handle scene's and how to handle address's as to what can be controlled from where. I now have over 20 switch's and modules throughout my house on 3 floors with an IR-543 on each floor, a 6 button keypadlinc by my front door, plus control using Indigo with my Mac. I have set up some basic scene's such as watch tv, go to bed and so on. The problem I run into is the 16 code limit of the ir-543's, I know I can us the IR-543-AH however they are costly. Any advice from the folks with larger setups as to breaking it down to house codes and scene's and what you are finding works best for you.

Thanks for any advise RWI

How does one set lighting scenes 1-16 in the lighting screen. I have two x-10 lamps modules and I would like to set to a dim level scene for watching TV and a second dim setting for reading. Is it possible to set lighting scenes 1 -16 ?

Indigo will react to X10 commands and take actions from them. Send a double press A-1, A-1 with your remote pointed at the IR-543 and instruct Indigo to output a scene sequence. When I do a master off once it locally switches off all lights in the room, but if I press it twice it sequences and shuts off all lights in my house. Another trick is to allow Indigo to eliminate a step to turn on a local light. Pressing one button say B-1 will trigger Indigo to issue the generic "on" command so you don't have to press another button on the remote. Only drawback is you have to use all-off to turn off the light instead of individually for that room.
