Thanks for all the responses. I am aware of the more expensive switches -- but the bottom line is I'll play with stuff for ten bucks a pop, but not for 30, 40, or 50 per switch. If I buy (as I have already done) seven switches, it's the difference between $70 and $350. For $70 I'll play with the stuff and see what I can do. For $350 I'll start looking for a new stereo receiver or something.

Can anyone tell me how fast the cheap switches respond to commands? With a macro that powers on a switch and then immediately sends multiple dims it might be possible to simulate a dim-on condition in a cheap switch.

Thanks again for the info...
