I have many cases where I want a trigger to fire for X10 events regardless of direction (in or out)
One example is my ARMED status indicator which is implemented as an X10 device on B6. I want to set this both by remote keyfob, or by pressing the On button in the PowerHome device status screen. The keyfob generates an in event, but the device status screen generates an out. They both need to run the same macro.
Am I missing something or do I have to duplicate all the triggers, one for in and one for out?

Put the keyfob on a different unit code (and/or house code, create a macro with the out-event, and have both the status screen and the key fob programmed as separate triggers of the macro.
I use this "indirection" throughout my system. All my controllers -ever- do is send commands to Powerhome, Powerhome then processes them and sends commands out to devices. This maximizes flexibility, gives you 100% logging, (and when you upgrade to insteon) retries, and never having to 'tap' anything.
